09-22-06 - New book reveals FBI did not suspect Pollard ties to Israel The publication of the book, with reviews and testimonies from U.S. Navy veterans and other security experts, is indicative of the bitterness still felt over how Israel betrayed the United States and the "colossal" damage Pollard caused to U.S. national security.....Former president George Bush told Olive in 2005 that Pollard "belongs just where he is, in jail.

09-22-06 - In surprise move, feds drop count in Hamas terrorism count The decision to drop one count of the indictment came at a hearing after Deutsch asked St. Eve to press federal prosecutors to turn over background material on a prospective government witness, Jack Mustafa. Deutsch asked for information about how much the FBI had paid Mustafa and whether he had an arrest record. He also asked if the prospective witness had met with agents of the Mossad _ Israel's intelligence agency.
Wait a minute here. How much (more) American taxpayer money will be spent on what would appear to be the witchunts of Palestinians in this country who are brought up on charges, only to later see them dismissed due to lack of evidence? And how much are American officials relying on 'evidence' provided by the Israeli government or their lackeys, mm? Is that why the cases are falling apart? We quickly learn the difference between the America's legal system and that of Israel. See some of it described here too (look for the bit about the Fourth amendment, or lack thereof).

09-22-06 - Between Bishara and Salah The second organization that is actively nurturing the idea of destroying Israel as a Jewish-Zionist state is the Balad Party, led by MK Azmi Bishara. Bishara, as we know, speaks about turning Israel into a state of all its citizens (all the Arab MKs share this opinion) - in other words, a country that within a few decades will be controlled by a Palestinian majority America is a state for all of its citizens built on the concept of one man, one vote. Israel is not a democracy and is nothing like America. It is built on an apartheid system to keep the Arab 'demographic problem' at bay. To suggest a system that is like America's, is to suggest 'the destruction of Israel' only for the fact that there would no longer be a Jewish majority.
