BLM and the Tower of Babel

The recent outrages expressed in BLM -Black Lives Matter reminds me of a similarity to the story in Genesis 11:1–9 regarding the Tower of Babel. The original story was meant to mythically explain the origins of the multiplicity of languages and how God was concerned that humans had blasphemed by building the tower to avoid a second flood. So, God brought into existence multiple languages. Thus, humans were divided into linguistic groups, unable to understand one another.

This is what has happened today in America. AMERICANS -those of ALL colors and races and religions have stuck their collective fingers in their ears and are screaming at one another. NO one is listening to the other side and the buildup of hatred and animosity, I am frankly afraid, will lead to a terrible explosion.

So likewise, with this so called movement, aka BLM whose supposed objective is to assist the Black American community, a fictional tower of heated divided voices has been created to create animosity to divide all of humanity / mankind -into colors and races. 

They claim that the problems of the black community are caused by whites, or, when whites are not physically present, by the infiltration of white supremacy and white systemic racism into American brains, souls, and institutions.

In the minds of the BLM followers;

"white supremacy is not merely the work of hotheaded demagogues, or a matter of false consciousness, but a force so fundamental to America that it is difficult to imagine the country without it." To the followers of BLM, " black history does not flatter American democracy; it chastens it."

The claims that the difficulties that the black community faces are entirely causally explained by exogenous factors in the form of white systemic racism, white supremacy, and other forms of white discrimination remains a problematic hypothesis that should be vigorously challenged by those who know the truth. 

According to Ta-Nehisi Coates, the chief cause of animosity and poverty within the Black community is due to:

"Discriminatory laws joined the equal burden of citizenship to unequal distribution of its bounty. These laws reached their apex in the mid-20th century, when the federal government—through housing policies—engineered the wealth gap, which remains with us to this day. When we think of white supremacy, we picture colored only signs, but we should picture pirate flags."

It is statistically true that the lives of many black Americans are better than they were half a century ago. Rates of black poverty have decreased, black teenaged-pregnancy rates are at record lows—and the gap between black and white teen-pregnancy rates has shrunk significantly. 

However, such progress rests on a shaky foundation, and fault lines are everywhere. The income gap between black and white households is roughly the same today as it was in 1970. Patrick Sharkey, a sociologist at New York University, studied children born from 1955 through 1970 and found that 4 percent of whites and 62 percent of blacks across America had been raised in poor neighborhoods. A generation later, the same study showed, virtually nothing had changed. And whereas whites born into affluent neighborhoods tended to remain in affluent neighborhoods, blacks tended to fall out of them.

The Pew Research Center estimates that white households are worth roughly 20 times as much as black households, and that whereas only 15 percent of whites have zero or negative wealth, more than a third of blacks do. Black families, regardless of income, are significantly less wealthy than white families. Effectively, the black family in America is working without a safety net. When financial calamity strikes—a medical emergency, divorce, job loss—the fall is not only abrupt but spontaneous.

As to the issue of the proportion of black incarcerated Americans. This proportion is often used to characterize the criminal justice system as anti-black. However, if we use the precise same methodology, we would have to conclude that the criminal justice system is even more anti-male than it is anti-black. Would we characterize criminal justice as a systemically misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men? 

Statistically Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than whites as their involvement in violent crime would predict. This fact has been demonstrated to be true multiple times across multiple jurisdictions in multiple states. And yet, the mass media produces a narrative that diminishes black agency in favor of a white-centric explanation that appeals to the Liberals apparent desire to shoulder the ‘white man’s burden’ and to promote a narrative of white guilt.

The BLM supporters claim that the criminal justice system is white-supremacist. However, they cannot explain just why it is that Asian, Indian or even Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans? 

We have seen on social media that the followers of BLM attempt sometimes violently to silence and oppress discourse on the truth based on real numbers and statistics, by stating, “Only fascists talk about black-on-black crime”.

We have not been notified, ad nauseum, by news reports of just how the vast majority of violence visited on the black community is committed by individuals and members who are themselves "Blacks". What we have been lavished with are social media recorded incidents of Police or white on black violence. The mainstream "Liberal" press has blatantly ignored these incidents of "black on black" violence because it "does not conform" to their Liberal Kumbaya "Pro Democratic" anti-Trump hate filled agenda. 

It is also why we have not seen marches or demonstrations for these invisible victims, nor have we seen public silences, nor heartfelt speeches from any leaders in the Black Community.

The patronizing and condescending attitudes of Democratic leaders towards the black community, exemplified by nearly every Biden statement on the black race, all but guarantee a perpetual state of misery, resentment, poverty, and the attendant grievance politics which are simultaneously annihilating American political discourse and black lives.

The conservative pundits Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk suggested that donations to the Black Lives Matter Foundation are being sent instead to ActBlue, a Democratic political committee:
"All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates."
In reply to the question; "Is Black Lives Matter a ‘Shell Company’ for a Liberal Super PAC?" 

The Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay pointed out that Owens’s tweets, and Kirk’s by extension, are inaccurate. ActBlue is organized as a political committee, it acts as a nonprofit fundraising tool that serves as a conduit, rather than a collector, for donations. ActBlue’s website explains that the platform is available to “Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values.”

Therefore, donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and to support the anti-Trump movement. This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly run by Democrats. Minneapolis itself has been entirely in the hands of Democrats for over five decades; the ‘systemic racism’ that exists there was built over successive Democratic administrations.

Ta-Nehesi Coates wrote a book entitled; "We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy" which was the was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South.  

So after reading the essay "The Case for Reparations" also by Ta-Nehesi Coates, much of which is based on abject racism in Chicago. I wondered why? 
WHY? 
In ALL his meetings and interviews with President Obama, he never asked the first "black president" why during his two administrations, "We Were Eight Years in Power", WHY -President Obama, failed to act on those issues that so effected the lives of blacks in Chicago and in America? 
Specifically those US Government offices and agencies such as the Federal Housing Administration which Ta-Nehesi Coates elaborates on in his essay; "The Case for Reparations". 

“A government offering such bounty to builders and lenders could have required compliance with a nondiscrimination policy,” Charles Abrams, the urban-studies expert who helped create the New York City Housing Authority, wrote in 1955. “Instead, the FHA adopted a racial policy that could well have been culled from the Nuremberg laws.”

Or what about the banking system

"In Chicago and across the country, whites looking to achieve the American dream could rely on a legitimate credit system backed by the government. Blacks were herded into the sights of unscrupulous lenders who took them for money and for sport."

I ask WHY should this lack of criticism of President Obama and the Democratic Party go unnoticed, purposefully ignored and silenced.

And why is it that no one has noticed that large corporations who have acceded to BLM exploit blacks. Starbucks is an organization in favor of BLM. Yet, they buy their coffee from suppliers who literally use black as slaves in its coffee plantations. Or that the Sony Corporation which advertises it's backing for BLM uses cobalt mined literally by black slaves, many of whom are children ?

And what of this scandalous episode of "I can't breathe" George Floyd and his funeral! 

For clarity, George Floyd was definitely NO SAINT as his criminal record shows! George Floyd was a man who hurt women, black women. And yet, ignorant Americans are celebrating this violent criminal, elevating his name to virtual sainthood.  

He was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Floyd was charged with armed robbery in 2007, and in 2009 took a plea deal to be sentenced to five years' imprisonment. 

He terrorized the women in his community. He sired and abandoned multiple children, playing no part in their support or upbringing, failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being. He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer, a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors.

With the full collaboration of BLM, Al Sharpton, the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, most media outlets as well as some of the wealthiest and most privileged opinion-shaping celebrities and "elites" of the USA, George Floyd has become a culture hero, who was buried in a golden casket. His (recognized) family showered with money, gifts and praise. 

George Floyd was an "ordinary brother" from Houston's housing projects who "nobody thought much about," which makes his central role in a generational movement that much more powerful, the Rev. Al Sharpton said at his funeral Tuesday.
"God took the rejected stone and made him the cornerstone of a movement that's going to change the whole wide world," Sharpton said."Your family is going to miss you George, but your nation is going to always remember your name. Because your neck was one that represents all of us, and how you suffered is how we all suffer," he added.

Yet, David Dorn, a retired St. Louis Police captain, a father of five that had 10 grandchildren. Dorn was fatally shot and killed after responding to a pawnshop alarm during looting. 
So I dare to ask? 
If Dorn is a "Black American" does his life NOT MATTER! Well it is quite evident that the hypocrisy scale is 100% in the eyes of the followers of BLM!!

We all saw where at the funeral of George Floyd, Al Sharpton, did not mentioned, nor "shower" with praise David Dorn in his eulogy of Floyd. Nor was David Dorn's family "blessed" with money, gifts and praise" from the highly hypocritical BLM followers. 

What we have seen is Americans who are being socially pressured into kneeling for this violent, abusive misogynist. 

Yet, we are exposed through the media to the highly hypocritical "Feel-good" gestures from politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, as well as some of the most senior Democrats in the House of  Representative who wore Kente scarfs as they knelled in the US Capitol building. 

All of these are feel-good gestures cost nothing and shift no power. They create no justice and provide no equity. The Democrats have proposed bills in the House, that should they pass as conceived, they will basically punish the law enforcement officer's in the system without altering the system itself. These bills would make the officers the fall guy for the bad behavior of a few while doing little to condemn or even address the savagery and voraciousness of the system that required their service.

It is true that this country has established in many areas a system of supreme inequity, with racial inequity being a primary form. This inequality is the direct responsibility of the electorate to elect representatives who will act in THEIR interest to legislate laws and acts to repeal and rectify this terrible injustice. The "sane" leaders of the Black Community MUST act immediately to step in and stop the rioting and looting and civil disturbance which is depriving their fellow citizens of their livelihoods, homes, property and businesses in THEIR neighborhoods and community's.

To many in the Black Community they see the police, not as those meant to "Serve and Protect", but as paid guardians to protect the wealth that the system generated for the "Privileged Whites" and to control the outrages and outbursts of those opposed to it and oppressed by it. 

The successive failures of the Black Community leadership to act as one are allowing the  creation of a generation of black men who are being coerced into identifying with George Floyd, the absolute worst specimen of our race and species. And yet should someone dare to speak up and to relay the truth or point out the error they are violent attacked verbally and physically. And of course, should you dare point this out your presence on the social media will stifled and removed immediately because to plea for sanity or to disagree with "THEIR" fictional is "unacceptable".

They assert that black violence is expected and insoluble, while violence by whites requires explanation and demands a solution. Absolutely NO OTHER discussion is allowed for non-black victims of black violence, who proportionally outnumber black victims of non-black violence.

The message of the bamboozled followers of BLM is clear: "Black lives only matter when whites take them". To their fanatical black and utterly brainwashed white followers, NO OTHER lives are worthy but Black ones. 

Antifa in the USA: Facts

The beginnings of the Antifa movement in the USA is directly associated with the UK Anti-Fascist Action (AFA), a militant anti-fascist group founded in 1985. Antifa's stated long-term objective, both in America and abroad, is to establish a communist world order.
Currently the objective of Antifa in the United States, is to bring down the Trump administration through incitement and massive civil disobedience.

Academics and media outlets sympathetic to Antifa have been cynically manipulated to argue that the group cannot be classified as a terrorist organization which is the direct result of the super-secret KGB discipline called dezinformatsiya.
Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that Antifa is, in fact, a highly networked, well-funded global presence.

Antifa can be described as a transnational insurgency movement that endeavors, often with extreme violence, to subvert liberal democracy, with the aim of replacing global capitalism with communism.
The ideological origins of Antifa can be traced back to the Soviet Union nearly a century ago to 1921 when the Communist International (Comintern) developed the so-called united front tactic to "unify the working masses through agitation and organization...against "capitalism" and "fascism" at the international level and in each individual country." Therefore, for all true communists their nemesis has always been "capitalism" and "fascism".

A German-language pamphlet — "80 Years of Anti-Fascist Actions" (80 Jahre Antifaschistische Aktion)" — describes in minute detail the continuous historical thread of the Antifa movement from its ideological origins in the 1920s to the present day. The document states:

"Antifascism has always fundamentally been an anti-capitalist strategy. This is why the symbol of the Antifaschistische Aktion has never lost its inspirational power.... Anti-fascism is more of a strategy than an ideology."

The modern Antifa movement derives its name from a group called Antifaschistische Aktion, founded in May 1932 by Stalinist leaders of the Communist Party of Germany. The group was established to fight "fascists", a term the Communist Party used to describe all of the other pro-capitalist political parties in Germany. The primary objective of Antifaschistische Aktion was to abolish capitalism, according to a detailed history of the group.

The chief nemesis of Antifa has always been local law enforcement who in a democracy guard the civil order. In order to destroy law enforcement and democracies from within, Antifa employs the tactics of the communist insurgents in the United States and Europe to goad the police into a reaction through the means of extreme violence and destruction of public and private property, which then "proves" Antifa's claim that the government is "fascist."

"Out of cowardice, its members cover their faces and keep their names secret. Antifa constantly threatens violence and attacks against politicians and police officers. It promotes senseless damage to property amounting to vast sums." — Bettina Röhl, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, June 2, 2020.

Lately we have heard how the Democratic Party witch hunt for Russian conspiracy in the elections and the attempted Impeachment has led to the true source of the Russian Conspiracy.

"The federal government has evidence that Antifa "hijacked" legitimate protests around the country to "engage in lawlessness, violent rioting, arson, looting of businesses, and public property assaults on law enforcement officers and innocent people, and even the murder of a federal agent." -U.S. Attorney General William Barr

Antifa uses the KGB discipline of dezinformatsiya to hide their intent by "claiming" to be opposed "fascism," a term that they use frequently to discredit those who hold opposing political beliefs.
When in actuality they are the classic textbook definition of "communists: "advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." 
They hide the real truth from their duped and brainwashed followers that a communist country;" is run by a totalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism, militarism, and often racism."

Antifa holds to the strict Marxist-Leninist definition of fascism which equates it with capitalism. According to the German Antifa group, Antifaschistischer Aufbau München; "The fight against fascism is only won when the capitalist system has been shattered and a classless society has been achieved.".
Antifa advocates for a class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency, in a special report on left-wing extremism, noted:

"Antifa's fight against right-wing extremists is a smokescreen. The real goal remains the 'bourgeois-democratic state,' which, in the reading of left-wing extremists, accepts and promotes 'fascism' as a possible form of rule and therefore does not fight it sufficiently. Ultimately, it is argued, 'fascism' is rooted in the social and political structures of 'capitalism.' Accordingly, left-wing extremists, in their 'antifascist' activities, focus above all on the elimination of the 'capitalist system.'"

Matthew Knouff, author of An Outsider's Guide to Antifa: Volume II, explained Antifa's ideology this way:

"The basic philosophy of Antifa focuses on the battle between three basic forces: fascism, racism and capitalism — all three of which are interrelated according to Antifa.... with fascism being considered the final expression or stage of capitalism, capitalism being a means to oppress, and racism being an oppressive mechanism related to fascism."

Few realize that Germany's Antifa movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s manifested itself as a Marxist urban guerrilla group called the Red Army Faction (RAF) which was also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang that had been given training, shelter, and supplies by the Stasi, the secret police of the former communist regime. This was a common KGB ploy used to "deflect" the true source of the support for radical terrorists. As mentioned by Lt. Gen. (ret.) Ion Mihai Pacepa a former three-star general in the Securitate, the secret police of Communist Romania, who defected to the United States in July 1978 from his book, “Red Horizons,” published in 1987

Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency explains Antifa's glorification of violence:

"For left-wing extremists, 'Capitalism' is interpreted as triggering wars, racism, ecological disasters, social inequality and gentrification. 'Capitalism' is therefore more than just a mere economic order. In left-wing extremist discourse, it determines the social and political form as well as the vision of a radical social and political reorganization. Whether anarchist or communist: Parliamentary democracy as a so-called bourgeois form of rule should be 'overcome' in any case.

"For this reason, left-wing extremists usually ignore or legitimize human rights violations in socialist or communist dictatorships or in states that they allegedly see threatened by the 'West.' To this day, both orthodox communists and autonomous activists justify, praise and celebrate the left-wing terrorist Red Army Faction or foreign left-wing terrorists as alleged 'liberation movements' or even 'resistance fighters.'"

What we are seeing in the USA today is the culmination of the Soviet Plan to undermine America that was laid out by the leaders of the KGB in the 1960's.

The Deep State and the Six Day War

What IS on my mind is just how fickle the memory of the world is towards Israel today.

"Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave, When First We Practice to Deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, 1808)

As historians we have the opportunity of hindsight. There is much written and their are many, many lies of conspiracies spread of the USS Liberty incident of the Six Day War. Much has been written about the "unprovoked" Israeli attack and there are many questions that are still unanswered today regarding this sad episode.

One major question that has never been thoroughly discussed is just why LBJ stated that his National Security Adviser (Walt Rostow as National Security Adviser, 1966-69) never told him exactly just why the USS Liberty a "spy ship" was deployed to the area with not only naval intelligence personnel but CIA and NSA personnel as well.

The answer can be found in the often untold truth of the "unofficial" US State Department and US Security Agencies CIA and NSA) policy which was to prevent a close relationship with Israel so as to prevent the Arab countries deepening their ties with the "Soviet Block".

The "Unofficial" -read "deep state" - policy of US and United Kingdom Governments was created before World War One when militaries became dependent on the fossil fuels to propel their ships and vehicles - tanks and support vehicles.
It became crucial to ensure the continual access of this needed commodity at ALL costs to the United Kingdom and later the United States and it's Western Allies. It was due to this policy that the United Kingdom fought against the Ottoman Empire and created the "New Middle East".

The Machiavellian colonization and occupation of Iran (Persia) as well as the post World War One Mandated Areas of the OETA (Occupied Enemy Territory Administration)  were of primary concern to the United Kingdom so as to have direct access to Arab oil reserves which were of a vital strategic need.
This secretive position is further reinforced by the actions of British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith and Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War in World War I who established a Committee under Sir Maurice de Bunsen on 8 April 1915 to determine their policy toward the Ottoman Empire during World War I and to determine it's fate in the aftermath.
Though the the British bamboozled the Jews and Zionists by making the Balfour Declaration of ‎‎1917.

"His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

They did ALL that they could to NOT allow it to happen so as to appease the Arabs. This is why 3/4 or 72% of the "Mandated Area of Palestine" was abruptly handed over to Hashemite Emir Abdullah I bin al-Hussein, elder son of Britain's wartime Arab ally Hussein bin Ali and the brother of the deposed King Faisal, in 1922. In 1915 Henry McMahon had exchanged letters with Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca in which he had promised to recognize the independence of the Arabs.
The British Machiavellian plot went ahead and played lip service to the Jews while abiding by all the measures to prevent the entry of Jews to "Palestine" at he behest of the Arabs even during the dire times of the Holocaust by "White Papers".

The British continued their acts against the "Zionists" by not allowing the Jews to enter after the Holocaust and by depriving the Jewish Underground Army the Haganah the opportunity to arm itself despite the onslaught by armed Arab irregulars and marauders prior to the establishment of the state.

When we Jews, we Israelis despite all the disadvantages placed in our way to create our new state of Israel did succeed in repelling and defeating the combined forces of the seven members of the Arab League and the Irregular armies of the two major "Palestinian" fractions/ The "Western" world closed the doors to us in our requests for arms. It was the Soviet Block of nations who initially allowed us the ability to arm ourselves. What "Western" arms we did succeed in obtaining was done clandestinely. This was carried out with the secretive help of the Jewish Mafia, Jewish scrap yard owners, the Longshoremen and Truckers who worked in tandem to bring all the machinery components and tool parts being scrapped by US WWII industry to Eretz Yisrael to form TASS the Israeli Military Industries.
There are also the famous stories of the Jewish war veterans who worked with Al Schwimmer  to smuggle aircraft out of the US to help create the Israeli Air Force and later the Israel Aircraft Industries.

This anti-Israel "Deep state pro Arab Policy" was exacerbated in the early 1950's by the desire of the West to contain the radical Arab Nationalism that Gamal Abdul Nasser was instigating in the Arab world and was viewed as a highly destabilizing force. It was during this time in history when Nasser's Arab Nationalism movement was being infiltrated by the secret forces of the KGB the head of Soviet foreign intelligence, Gen. Alexander Sakharovsky through it's client countries like Romania under dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

This desire of the "Deep state" to protect this policy from the "episodic nature" of American policy-making from the changes brought on by each progressive administration was "guaranteed NOT to be altered" by those unelected members of the US State Department members of the "Deep State".

Under the Truman administration the US State Department with White Hall worked vigorously to prevent the president's plans to resettle Jewish Holocaust survivors in the immediate Post WWII period. With the creation of Israel the US State Department together with White Hall  continued to oppose aid to Israel under the Eisenhower administration as well. This was the basis for the formation of AIPAC in 1954 to circumvent State Department opposition through legislation in Congress to aid Israel.
President John F Kennedy was one of the first presidents to stand against the "Deep State" and opposed the State Department's highly anti-Semitic and highly anti-Israel stance

So, when looking back many are puzzled as to the exact role played by the Soviet Union in the turmoil that led to the Six Day War. Few remember that Stalin and the USSR were highly supportive over the creation of Israel and remained steadfast in support until 1954. It was during this "Heyday"that the Israeli Communist's and their political parties Maki for example flourished.
In the defeat of the Suez Canal 1956 "Sinai War" the Soviet Union became totally anti-Israel yet there remained many die hard Stalinistic supporters in Israel.

So just why did the USSR invest so much money in advanced SAM missile systems and Armour (Tanks) T-71 and T-72, BTR -advance armored personnel carriers which had not even been given to Iron Curtain countries in the aftermath of the Sinai War defeat?

One of the best and latest recounts of the Soviet Unions deep involvement in the Middle East was the book of the Six-Day War "Foxbats Over Dimona" by Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez. Their book based on historical records, as well as "... every snippet of relevant information from an extraordinary range of sources, most effectively Soviet military personnel who can recall what they were up to in 1967." ...demonstrates..." how anxiety about Israel's imminent nuclear capability and an unwarranted confidence in Arab military strength led Moscow to develop a plot to provoke the Israelis into striking first before being overwhelmed by a devastating riposte, in which Soviet forces would participate."
Their book opened the "Pandora Box" of the treat of nuclear nonproliferation in the Middle East and relays many discrepancies as well as unknown stories of the conflict of Cold War intrigue that shaped the Middle East.

As the review in Google Books states;

"The authors (who are), award-winning Israeli journalists and historians; had investigated documents and testimonies from the former Soviet Union, cross-checked them against Israeli and Western sources, and arrived at fresh and startling conclusions."

Furthermore:

"Contrary to previous interpretations, Ginor and Remez’s book shows that the Six-Day War was the result of a joint Soviet-Arab gambit to provoke Israel into a preemptive attack. The authors reveal how the Soviets received a secret Israeli message indicating that Israel, despite its official ambiguity, was about to acquire nuclear weapons. Determined to destroy Israel’s nuclear program before it could produce an atomic bomb, the Soviets then began preparing for war--well before Moscow accused Israel of offensive intent, the overt trigger of the crisis."

Ginor and Remez’s startling account details how the Soviet-Arab onslaught was to be unleashed once Israel had been drawn into action and was branded as the aggressor. The Soviets had submarine-based nuclear missiles poised for use against Israel in case it already possessed and tried to use an atomic device, and the USSR prepared and actually began a marine landing on Israel’s shores backed by strategic bombers and fighter squadrons. They sent their most advanced, still-secret aircraft, the MiG-25 Foxbat, on provocative sorties over Israel’s Dimona nuclear complex to prepare the planned attack on it, and to scare Israel into making the first strike. It was only the unpredicted devastation of Israel’s response that narrowly thwarted the Soviet design."

In conclusion here is what we Israelis have learned:

"During the Holocaust we learned in the Ghetto that as Jews we can no longer hide and exist with bended knees. From the Torah we were taught; "Behold the Guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep!" So I say as I said then, that we can not allow ourselves any longer be led to slaughter! Today, we must be on guard all the time and to take arms and fight as free men." Abba Kovner in a speech to the Iftach Brigade of the Palmach 1948.
