The US hypocrisy about Israel's nuclear weapons must stop
https://thebulletin.org/2025/03/the-us-hypocrisy-about-israels-nuclear-weapons-must-stop/?

An extraordinary three-part series on Israeli television, The Atom and Me https://simkl.com/tv/2650929/the-atom-and-me#google_vignette , lays out how the country got its nuclear weapons. It takes for granted what anyone who pays attention has known for years. But the series goes well beyond a general discussion about Israel's nuclear weapons. It shows the country's single-minded determination to get the bomb no matter what it took, including stealing nuclear explosives and bomb components from the United States and violating a major nuclear arms control treaty to which Israel is a party—and lying about it.

As the Trump administration is in serious discussion about joining Israel in attacks on Iran to stop it from getting nuclear weapons, it is useful to shed illusions about Israel's modus operandi.

US officials stay mute.
A thread running through the three episodes is a continuing conversation, before he died in 2018, with Benjamin Blumberg https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2018-08-30/ty-article/.premium/benjamin-blumberg-israels-nuclear-man-of-shadows-tricked-u-s-inspectors-in-dimona-dies/0000017f-f356-dc28-a17f-ff7758800000 , the head of Lakam, the Israeli scientific intelligence agency responsible for the nuclear missions that led to the Israeli bomb, some so secret they were kept from the Mossad. (Mossad is the Israeli agency that handles foreign intelligence collection and covert action.) Blumberg was in failing health and agreed to talk so long as the interview was not aired until after his death.

That conversation is mixed with archival material and recent interviews. The significance of the series lies not in showing what was not previously known—although there are details in that category—but in the admissions on Israeli public television, with the approval of the Israeli censors, about events that have been denied by Israel's supporters in the United States, including the US government.

Several events discussed in the television series deal directly with the United States: the theft in the 1960s of bomb quantities of uranium 235 from the NUMEC facility in Pennsylvania https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/nuclear-vault/2016-11-02/numec-affair-did-highly-enriched-uranium-us-aid-israels-nuclear-weapons-program , where the leaders of the Israeli team that spirited Eichmann out of Argentina appeared inexplicably in 1968 with false identities; the illicit purchase of hundreds of high-speed switches (krytrons) for triggering nuclear weapons, and spiriting them out of the country in the 1980s by Israeli spy and arms dealer, and by then Hollywood producer, Arnon Milchan; and, most significantly at this point, Israel's 1979 nuclear test in the seas off South Africa of what appears to be the initial fission stage for a thermonuclear weapon. The nuclear test violated the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty to which Israel is a party.  https://2009-2017.state.gov/t/avc/trty/199116.htm

What stands out from the television series is the grip Israel has had over US policy regarding Israel's nuclear weapons.

Not since John Kennedy has any US president tried to rein in Israel's nuclear program. His successor, Lyndon Johnson, did not challenge the Israelis on nuclear issues (and covered up Israel's attempt during the 1967 six-day war to sink the US spy ship Liberty). Such has been Israel's political clout in the United States.

No one was ever charged in the disappearance of nuclear material from NUMEC. When the issue of Israel's involvement arose again in 1976, President Gerald Ford's attorney general suggested to the president the possibility of charging US officials, presumably in the Atomic Energy Commission, with failing to report a felony. But it was too late. Ford lost the election to Jimmy Carter, who let the matter drop. Milchan was never charged for the filching of krytrons even though he later bragged about his arms dealing and spying for Israel. And Carter—and every US president after him—took no enforcement action in response to the illegal 1979 nuclear test.

The United States' indulgence of Israeli nuclear weapons has not escaped international attention, and the evident hypocrisy has undermined US nonproliferation policy. The US government's public position continues to be that it does not know anything about Israeli nuclear weapons, and this will apparently continue until Israel releases the United States' gag. This policy is allegedly enforced by a secret federal bulletin that threatens disciplinary actions for any US official who publicly acknowledges Israel's nuclear weapons.
https://www.irmep.org/cfp/WPN-136/WNP-136.pdf
https://publicintegrity.org/national-security/the-47-year-old-nuclear-elephant-in-the-room/

Meanwhile, Israel brags about its nukes.
Ironically, the Israelis feel free to allude to their nuclear weapons whenever they find it useful. The best example is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 2016 speech on receipt of the Rahav, the latest submarine supplied by Germany. The Times of Israel, using the standard "according to foreign reports," described the submarine as "capable of delivering a nuclear payload." https://www.timesofisrael.com/pm-president-turn-out-to-welcome-israels-newest-submarine/  In his speech, Netanyahu said, "Above all else, our submarine fleet acts as a deterrent to our enemies ... They need to know that Israel can attack, with great might, anyone who tries to harm it." How else, other than with nuclear weapons, can a submarine be a deterrent? The submarines' long-range cruise missiles could not only hit Iran's capital, Tehran, Israel's main security concern, they could also hit any European capital.

Those submarine-based cruise missiles—if they exist https://thebulletin.org/premium/2022-01/nuclear-notebook-israeli-nuclear-weapons-2022/ —might be tipped with thermonuclear warheads, which are also carried on planes and ground-based rockets. Light-weight thermonuclear weapons allow flexibility in delivery, but the two-stage designs are highly sophisticated. The Israelis logically decided that they had to conduct at least one low-yield fission test—even though they had promised not to do this—to be sure their first stage produced the radiation that would initiate the thermonuclear fuel in the second stage.

In the last episode of the Israeli television series, journalist Meir Doron, who has written on Israel's security secrets, says: "After the nuclear test, for the first time, the heads of the Israeli nuclear program, Blumberg, Shimon Peres, and all the people from the reactor, could sleep soundly at night. They knew that what they're building works."

While Israel did not sign the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) https://disarmament.unoda.org/wmd/nuclear/npt/#:~:text=The%2520NPT%2520is%2520a%2520landmark,and%2520general%2520and%2520complete%2520disarmament. , it signed and ratified the 1963 Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty https://history.state.gov/milestones/1961-1968/limited-ban , which obligates parties not to explode a nuclear device in the atmosphere or oceans. Such a test also triggers a nonproliferation provision of US law, the 1977 Glenn Amendment (Sec.102 (B) to the Arms Export Control Act https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/COMPS-1061/pdf/COMPS-1061.pdf ), that imposes severe sanctions on any country (other than the five approved in the NPT) that explodes a nuclear device after 1977. Upon learning of such an explosion, the president is supposed to impose the wide-ranging sanctions "forthwith." That, of course, did not happen.

The nuclear explosion's https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/09/22/blast-from-the-past-vela-satellite-israel-nuclear-double-flash-1979-ptbt-south-atlantic-south-africa/  characteristic two-hump signal was detected by a US satellite on September 22, 1979, and US intelligence agencies were convinced Israel was the culprit. President Carter did not want to risk his ongoing Middle East policy efforts by blaming Israel. The White House asked a group of scientists whether the detected light flash could somehow have been unconnected with a nuclear explosion. The scientists came up with some ideas https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/19607-national-security-archive-doc-6-frank-press that gave the president a public out. At the same time, the White House kept classified Navy reports https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/vela-incident-statement-written-dr-alan-berman on ocean sound waves from the explosion that supported the satellite data. And Carter wrote in his diary: "We have a growing belief among our scientists that the Israelis did indeed conduct a nuclear test explosion in the ocean near the southern end of Africa." All this was essentially a cover-up.  https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/revisiting-1979-vela-mystery-report-critical-oral-history-conference

The Glenn Amendment allows the president to delay sanctions on national security grounds or waive them entirely with the help of congressional action. The law does not allow the president to ignore it. But that is exactly what all of them have done.

The price of silence.
The US government's silence on Israel's nuclear weapons has meant silence about them in discussions on Iran's nuclear program. Public debate is an essential part of US policy development and, in the case of Iran, is hobbled by an inability to have an honest appraisal of the nature and purpose of Israeli nuclear weapons.

The existence of these weapons may have started as a deterrent against another Holocaust but has now morphed into an instrument of an aggressive and expansionist Israel.

The inability to have honest public discussion allows for the pretense by Israel and its supporters that it faces an existential threat from Iran, which is ready to drop a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv as soon as it gets one. Various aspects of the Iran issue are hidden by an inability to weigh all the elements of policy needed to arrive at an intelligent US policy.

The US government's silence has also taught the press to avoid the issue. The last time a White House correspondent asked about Israeli nuclear weapons, even then indirectly, was when Helen Thomas asked President Obama in 2009 whether he knew of any nuclear weapons in the Middle East. She got a chilly non-response—Obama said he was not going to speculate. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-did-obama-diss-helen_b_165544

An exception to the general lack of press interest in the issue is a 2018 New Yorker report by Adam Entous, revealing how US presidents have signed secret letters to the Israelis promising to do nothing to interfere with Israel's nuclear weapons or acknowledge their existence. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-trump-and-three-other-us-presidents-protected-israels-worst-kept-secret-its-nuclear-arsenal

Israel claims this US obligation flows from a "deal" made by Nixon and Golda Meir in their 1969 meeting during the 15 minutes when they were alone. William Quandt, Kissinger's aide at the time, says in the third episode, "There is no documentary record on the American side to this day. No one else was in the room." Nor has any Israeli record appeared. Without any record, there can be no enduring obligation.

So why did US presidents go along with the Israeli version of the US obligation, including denying any knowledge about Israeli nuclear weapons, long after it ceased to be in the United States's interest to do so? Entous reported that when Trump first entered office in 2017 his staff was confronted by Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer (a former American who switched allegiance to Israel). He is said to have acted "like he owned the place," but it worked. He got his way.

The single-mindedness of the Israeli establishment—that what it thinks is best for Israel overrides all other considerations—is caught at the end of the third television episode. The conversation with Benjamin Blumberg turns to Israel's more-than-amicable relations with apartheid-era South Africa, from which it got uranium to fuel the Dimona reactor and later permission to conduct the 1979 nuclear test, and to which Israel provided tritium to upgrade South Africa's nuclear weapons. He is asked, was not South Africa an oppressive racist regime? "All true," said Blumberg, "but what do I care. I wanted what was best for Israel." It's time to realize that what is "best for Israel" is not necessarily good for the United States.

Self-Appointed "Masters" / Madkhalis - zio-government age...
Last post by yankeedoodle - March 29, 2025, 11:33:48 AM
It looks like the jews are subverting Islam by corrupting the Quran, just like they subverted Christianity with the corrupting Schofield Bible. 

The following is excerpted from this article:
Israel's Ceasefire Hoax: Genocide & the Madkhali Betrayal
 https://muslimskeptic.com/2025/03/28/israels-ceasefire-hoax-madkhali/

QuoteMadkhalis https://muslimskeptic.com/2023/02/26/madkhalis/ —the group of government agents who disguise themselves in Arab/Islamic-styled attire and beards but are actually among the greatest enemies of the Muslim ummah (collective community)—will be at the forefront of this project of actualizing a Greater Israel. These Zionist agents, propped up by Israel, will have the very important task of perverting the pristine teachings of Islam and sprinkling generous helpings of Zionism and Judaism all over. We can already see the early stages of this process, such as the example of Madkhalis like "Rabbi" Faris Hammadi and Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, who vehemently denounce anyone that criticizes the Arab rulers for being Zionist puppets and normalizing with Israel, building Hindu temples, reviving polytheism, holding degenerate concerts, etc.

Such Madkhali influencers and "scholars" may appear on the pulpit from time to time, offering some prayers for Palestine, but how genuine are such prayers when they are also actively denouncing them and calling them (and countless other Muslims) sinful deviants for criticizing their beloved Zionist puppet rulers?

Consider the kind of Islam that these government lapdogs will preach as Israeli influence continues to rise within the Middle East. For instance, if the Saudi regime prohibits scholars and Imams from preaching Qur'anic verses and ahadith (prophetic narrations) about the Banu Israi'l, then they will eagerly obey. In fact, they already hide and misinterpret many Islamic teachings that encourage Muslims to speak out against this kind of evil. Take the following hadith, for example:

It has been narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The most excellent jihad (battle for the sake of Allah) is voicing justice before a tyrannical ruler. (Sunan Abi Dawud, 4344)

As we can see, according to this hadith, the Palestinians and all Muslims who condemn Muslim rulers for allying with Israel are indeed justified for their actions. They are not sinful deviants or Kharijite dogs of the Hellfire. According to the shameless Arab-government-approved Madkhalis, however, at best they are sinful deviants, and at worst they are Kharijite dogs of the Hellfire.

Just imagine the amount of liberal Talmudic teachings that could be smuggled in by these Madkhalis and also funded and propagated by Israel via the Dajjalic Abrahamic Faith. Because you better believe that the Madkhalis will not only be on-board with what this Satanic religion will bring into the Middle East, they will be very active in pushing such trash onto Muslims.

This is why it is absolutely necessary to oppose the Madkhalis and anyone who supports them. Otherwise, we will end up with a generation of Muslims that are woefully ignorant of the crimes of the Madkhalis against Islam, and they will end up being misled into thinking that these government lapdogs actually represent the righteous and pious Salaf. And believe me, Israel would love nothing more than for these sell-outs to be at the helm of the Muslim ummah. Nothing would please them more than seeing young Muslims focus on endless 'aqidah (creed) wars and sectarianism, fueled by Wahhabis and RAND, while leading them down a path intended to wipe out not just the Palestinians but Islam itself.

Indeed, it is We [alone] who have sent down the [Qur'an instead as a revealed] Reminder [to humanity of the way of Allah]. And, indeed, We [alone] shall [forever] preserve it. (Qur'an, 15:9)

Betar: The Far-Right Hate Group Helping Trump Deport Israel's Critics

Read it here to connect to the many links: https://scheerpost.com/2025/03/26/betar-the-far-right-hate-group-helping-trump-deport-israels-critics/

By Alan MacLeod / MintPress News

Afar-right, pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror and genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States. Betar U.S. is known to have had several meetings with senior government officials and has claimed credit for the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the nationwide anti-genocide student demonstrations that began at Columbia University last year.

Ross Glick, the group's executive director until last month, noted that he met with a diverse set of influential lawmakers, including Democratic senator John Fetterman and aides to the Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Lankford, and that all supported Betar U.S.' campaign to rid the country of thousands of "terror supporters."

Shortly after Glick's trip to Washington, D.C., Trump signed an executive order titled "Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism" that promises "the removal of resident aliens who violate our laws," to "quell pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation," and to "investigate and punish anti-Jewish racism in leftist, anti-American colleges and universities."

Trump himself announced that Khalil's arrest, which made worldwide headlines, was "the first of many to come." "We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump administration will not tolerate it," he wrote on Truth Social. The 45th and 47th president has also stated that he plans to deport "Communists" and "Marxists" from the United States, even those who are citizens. As such, this marks an escalation in government-backed suppression of dissent not seen since the McCarthyist era of the 1940s and 1950s.

Carrying Out Terror, Supporting Genocide
Betar U.S. describes itself as a "loud, proud, aggressive and unapologetically Zionist" movement "dedicated to defending Israel's legitimacy and strengthening the Jewish connection to the land of Israel." This includes "taking action where others won't" – a rather ominous phrase, considering the aggressive activities of the Jewish organizations it derides as "passive" and weak.

Last week, the group appeared to openly attempt to organize an assassination attempt on Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories. "Join us to give Francesca a [pager emoji] in London on Tuesday," it posted online, an apparent reference to the September pager attack on  Lebanon carried out by the Israeli military. The incident killed dozens of people and injured thousands more civilians, and was widely condemned – even by former CIA Director Leon Panetta – as an act of international terrorism.

Last month, Betar U.S. made a similar threat against Jewish-American writer Peter Beinart. After The New York Times published his article criticizing the State of Israel, it put out a statement reading, "We urge all Jews on the Upper West Side to give Peter Beinart a [three pager emojis]. He is a traitor, a kapo, and we must oppose him." Thus, Betar not only smeared him as a Nazi collaborator (Kapo) and called for his assassination but also appeared to reveal Beinart's home location.

A similar incident occurred to political scientist Norman Finkelstein. In an effort to intimidate him into silence, a Betar member slipped a pager into his coat pocket, filming the incident. After Finkelstein refused to stop speaking out against injustice in the Middle East, last weekend, the group attempted to break up his public event in Washington, D.C.

Perhaps most outrageously, Betar has also publicly placed a bounty on the head of Palestinian-American activist Nerdeen Kiswani, telling her that "You hate America, you hate Jews, and we are here and won't be silent. $1,800 to anyone who hands that jihadi a beeper," and later repeating the offer. After worldwide pushback, the organization has deleted its posts calling for political killings of international officials and U.S. citizens.

Twitter link:  https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1903913477246431517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1903913477246431517%7Ctwgr%5Ef1131de9d608fee5967d8ac28209576987cd6690%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fscheerpost.com%2F2025%2F03%2F26%2Fbetar-the-far-right-hate-group-helping-trump-deport-israels-critics%2F

In addition, Betar has regularly attempted to intimidate or shut down movements or gatherings protesting Israeli crimes. At a student event at UCLA, Betar publicly stated, "We demand police remove these thugs now and if not we will be forced to organize groups of Jews to do so."

In January, it tried to break up a New York City vigil for Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl brutally murdered by Israeli forces. Betar members filmed the event, telling attendees they were with ICE and using facial recognition technology to obtain their identities, which would subsequently be used to deport them.

In recent weeks, Betar members have also chanted hate speech outside a Bangladeshi mosque in New York City and attacked people who protested the illegal sale of Occupied West Bank land at an auction in Brooklyn.

That Betar is a hate group is barely in question. Even notoriously pro-Israel groups such as the Anti-Defamation League (an organization the FBI once noted was almost certainly being bankrolled by the Israeli government) have included it in its list of extremist hate organizations. The ADL notes that Betar uses the fascist Kahanist slogan, "For every Jew, a .22" (meaning Jews should be armed with .22 rifles) and has indicated it wishes to work with the Proud Boys, a far-right American gang.

Betar frequently revels in violence against civilian populations and calls for genocide against Palestinians. "Fuck your ceasefire!!  Turn Gaza to rubble!!" they announced last month. "Betar firmly supports the plan to remove Palestinians from Gaza," they added. In response to a post detailing the vast numbers of Palestinian babies killed since October 7, 2023, it replied, "Not enough. We demand blood in Gaza!"

A Fascist Paramilitary – But Jewish
Betar traces its origins back over 100 years. The group was founded by early Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky as a far-right paramilitary force, one that explicitly stood against the leftist Jewish groups who dominated at a time when "Jewish" and "socialist" were seen by many as virtually synonymous. Jabotinsky believed that establishing a state in Palestine would require the creation of what he called a "new Jew," one that would be willing to fight and die for Zionism. To this end, Betar was established as a fighting organization and received generous funding from conservative benefactors.

Jabotinsky instructed members to swear an oath to the unborn Israel: "I devote my life to the rebirth of the Jewish State, with a Jewish majority, on both sides of the Jordan." The creation of such a state, therefore, would require the mass extermination or expulsion of the region's native inhabitants.

Betar's formal name was Brit Yosef Trumpeldor, named after a Jewish settler who was killed in 1920 in an early firefight with Palestinians over disputed land. It was exactly men like Trumpeldor who Jabotinsky believed were necessary in order to win, in contrast to the majority of European Jews, who he saw as passive and weak.

1920s Europe was a time of rising antisemitism, and despite their inherent anti-Jewish nature, many conservative Jews admired the discipline and organization of fascist paramilitaries such as Hitler's Brownshirts. Betar was modeled on these groups, with Jabotinsky believing the Zionist project's success was dependent on the establishment of such organizations.

Because of their anti-communist, anti-worker outlook, conservative money flooded into Betar, helping it become one of the largest and most influential Jewish organizations by the 1930s, with membership rising to around 70,000 people. Betar leaders would go on to become key figures in Israeli politics. These included Prime Ministers, Menachem Begin and Yitzchak Shamir, as well as Benzion Netanyahu, the father of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

While this depiction of Betar as a fascist terrorist group might sound biased or one-sided, much of this information comes directly from the organization itself.

On its official website's "Our History" section, Betar writes

QuoteBetar thus became an incubator for the development of right-wing Zionist ideas and its supporters were sometimes referred to as "Jewish Fascists." In Palestine, Betar members facilitated illegal Jewish immigration and were active instigators of disturbances and violence, frequently bombing Arab civilian areas in response to attacks and waging guerilla [sic] warfare against the British.

Thus, the organization does not shy away from the fascism label, and it proudly notes that it "frequently" carried out terror operations against Arab civilians in Palestine. (At some point in the past week, after it began receiving increased scrutiny for its connections to the Trump administration, Betar has removed both the "fascist" moniker and the boast about bombing Arabs, but the original page can still be viewed via the Internet Archive.

Since October 7, 2023, Betar has greatly upped its presence in the United States, thanks to far-right Israeli-American businessman Ronn Torossian and Executive Director Ross Glick. In July 2024, it successfully applied for tax-exempt nonprofit status, meaning it is classified by the government as a charity. "Since our revival in 2024, Betar has made a powerful impact across the U.S. and is just getting started. We are recruiting, developing, and empowering Jews to become unapologetic Zionist leaders—defending Israel on campuses, in communities, and across all platforms," Betar writes. Yet an investigation by The Electronic Intifada suggests that Betar might have been illegally fundraising.

The same report notes that Glick has faced serious allegations of sex crimes. In 2019, his former girlfriend found nude images of herself posted on her company's official Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages. Glick was arrested and charged with unlawful use of a computer and unlawfully posting the lewd pictures. He pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment, a violation, and paid a fine.

Commentators across the political spectrum agree that the Trump administration is pushing the United States in a rightward direction, in the process running roughshod over constitutional protections and guarantees. In doing so, they have found allies in many controversial groups. That such a small and new movement like Betar U.S. already enjoys such influence within the White House has already raised eyebrows. And given Israel's determination to continue its genocidal campaigns against its neighbors – and Trump's limitless support for its ally – it appears likely that Betar's power is expected to grow under the current administration.

If this is the case, that is bad news for those who value the right to speak freely and to protest. It is therefore crucial that this group be understood and scrutinized rather than be allowed to operate in the shadows behind closed doors.
