The Myth of Tiny, Little Israel

The Myth of Tiny, Little Israel: Zionist Tentacles Everywhere
Sam Hamod, Ph.D.
June 25, 2003


Let me say at the outset this article is not anti-Jewish, but is 
anti-Zionist. No decent human being in this world can see Sharon and his 
Zionist minions killing women, children and elderly, destroying their 
homes, schools and hospitals and not feel a moral repugnance. There are 
many Jews as well as others who abhor this, in fact, these Jews are among 
the most heroic in fighting this brutality that is being used against the 
Palestinians and the espionage Mossad is perpetrating all over the world. 
This group includes such people as Nurit Peled (the winner of the Sakharov 
Prize for Peace in Israel), Anthony Lewis, Professor Noam Chomsky, Rabbi 
Michael Lerner and many other courageous and moral people. So let it be 
known that we must get past the myth of "tiny, little Israel" to see the 
truth about Israel and her supporters whose tentacles have spread 
throughout the world.

This article pertains to those who are Zionists who support the brutal 
tactics of Sharon and his predecessors in Palestine and in the U.S.; it is 
this group that has infiltrated American politics, media and military 
policy ( and the policies of other nations as well) through secret agents, 
those who carry dual citizenship but are more loyal to Israel than to the 
US or other nations, through the Mossad agents that have been hired for 
security reasons in various nations who then branch out to recruit others 
who then become agents for Israel, and through the academics whose 
political connections and media connections that make them overnight 
“authorities” so as to be an asset to Israel (Daniel Pipes, Frank Gaffney, 
Richard Perle, Bernard Lewis to name but a few).

Too few people in the world realize that this “little nation” of Israel has 
its tentacles throughout the world, in terms of its political action 
committees, appointees and elected officials in governments and the hiring 
out of its active or retired Mossad agents. I write this article to awaken 
people to the reality of what is actually going on, so that they may wipe 
away the myths spread by the Israeli propaganda machine that has mainline 
access to American media (newspapers, TV, radio and film) and enormous 
influence on the politics and economies of many nations, among them, 
America, Britain, Venezuela, Germany and others.

Here are but a few examples:

1.       Many airport checkers at the Frankfurt, Germany, airports are 
members of Mossad; this has been attested to by many Arab and Arab American 
travelers who have been harassed by them (many of the guards spoke Hebrew 
to one another during checking).

2.       Many new hires in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the 
CIA and FBI, this according to people working in those agencies and even 
reported briefly in some newspapers are former, or on loan, Mossad agents;

3.       Iraqis report Hebrew speaking troops with the American troops in 
Baghdad, even American papers have reported that Israel is “aiding America” 
in its search for WMD; the methods being used by American troops in Iraq 
are exactly like the Israeli methods used in Palestine—shooting heavy 
weaponry at a house, then breaking down the door and bursting in, even 
without evidence, and arresting young men and fathers in the house and 
taking them away to unknown locations, or simply destroying homes with 
tanks, mortars or missiles simply because of a “tip” that “terrorists” or 
“pro-Saddam” people are there

4.       It is common knowledge that Mossad trained the apartheid South 
African regimes police and military that terrorized Blacks and Browns in 
that country for years, Israel also sold the weaponry and technology to 
South Africa that was banned by the UN and the USA that helped hold the 
African natives of the region and nation in check; experts on Africa say 
there are others operating in Africa at this time in Nigeria and Kenya.

What is interesting also is how much Israel and its agents have infiltrated 
American intelligence and politics. It is a known fact that Wolfowitz, 
Fleischer, Perle, Lantos and some others have dual citizenships between 
Israel and America. Some of their behavior helps reinforce this loyalty to 
Israel; at times, Lantos asks for more funds for Israel than for the poor 
in America or even in California (his district and state). It is well known 
by every literate person in the world that Wolfowitz and Perle were two of 
the prime movers for an attack on Iraq and continue their pressuring for 
attacks on Iran, Syria and Lebanon (which are at the top of Israel’s hit 
list). AIPAC, the American Israel Political Action Committee uses millions 
of dollars of its funds to get billions in aid for Israel through donations 
and political pressure on American presidents, congress people and senators.

The pro-Zionist groups also have powerful influence in the media through 
ownership of the NY Times (the Sulzberger family), Washington Post, others 
who owned ABC Goldenson) CBS(Paley) and NBC (Sarnoff)—all of whom were 
loyal Zionists and their donations to AIPAC is legendary. Fred Friendly, 
the first president of NPR and PBS was a known supporter of Zionism when he 
was at CBS and carried this over to NPR, where a majority of the 
newscasters and analysts are pro-Israel (Scott Simon, Dan Shorr, Linda 
Gradstein, just go down the list and see how many Arabs, Muslims, real 
Latinos /not those who are part Latino and part Jewish/, Linda Wertheimer, 
Seigel—the list goes on and on). Thus, at every turn in America, from the 
overt media and money usage to the mythology that is perpetrated by our 
movies and TV shows that Arabs and Muslims are terrorists and Jews and 
Israelis are always victims, and that all Jewish men are warm and generous 
and never hard faced businessmen, mafia (the only bad mafia guys are 
Italian, even on the Sopranos, the myth is perpetrated because Tony and the 
boys always go talk with the Jewish godfather friend of Tony’s father—this 
is pure hogwash to any true Mafiosi or anyone who has worked in the 
“Business” as it is really called, the Italians only talked with the 
Italians, and especially the Sicilianos, they were in endless, brutal 
competition with the Jewish criminal gangs headed by Lansky, Siegel and 
others—but when Bugsy or Lansky are shown in a TV or movie fiction, they 
are always good guys who went wrong or old men just trying to make their 
way in the world).

Even the Pollard case, a spy in our military intelligence unit of the U.S. 
Navy, was downplayed; the constant request by Israel for his release has 
also been hushed up.

In the Washington, DC, during the Pollard matter, the media often showed 
his crying wife who kept saying, “He’s not a spy,” even after they had hard 
evidence on him; the newspapers covered it but soon put it on the back 
pages if at all. Even some rabbis came forth asking that he be sent to 
Israel for trial! Imagine, sending a spy back home to be tried for spying 
for his home country; amazing.

Of course, the Israelis are only out to defend themselves, that is why they 
bulldoze homes in Palestine (no, not in Israel itself), continue 
confiscating land from Palestinian farmers (who must be terrorists, 
otherwise why would they use the disguise of being a shepherd in a field of 
sheep or a farmer with olive trees—obvious cover-up disguises!), confiscate 
Palestinian funds in Israeli banks, ask America to freeze bank accounts of 
Palestinian humane charities, never shoot children or women, and if they 
do, it is only by accident or with rubber tipped metal bullets (which also 
kill and maim, like metal bullets, but not as rapidly), and the missiles 
they send in to hospitals, schools and ambulances are because the children 
must have done a terrorist act secretly while they were in school—I make 
these absurd statements because they are no more absurd than some of the 
press releases and public pronouncements the Israelis make after killing 
people and excusing it (never apologizing), but always “launching 
investigations” that never seen to be finished and never come up with any 
Israeli guilt under any circumstances.

Of course, those Israeli soldiers who get sick of this behavior and these 
lies are branded as “traitors” and “liars” and shunned, put in prison, and 
God knows what other punishments they undergo (this from Felicia Langer 
when I spoke with her some years ago who, as a Holocaust survivor, is one 
of Israelis top defense lawyers who often defends Palestinians and Jews for 
peace or military men who refuse to continue to participate in this myths 
and cruelty of the Israeli politics of brutality, and others who have come 
to America and spoken of these cruel and inhuman acts, Nurit Peled (the 
winner of the Sakharov Prize for Peace in Israel), her brother Miko and 
others who participate in the peace dialogues in San Diego and other cities 
in America—people who genuinely want peace and what is best for their own 
Jewish brethren and for the Palestinians (their blood cousins, see Blood 
Brothers by Chacour).

We need not mention Sharon’s assault on the Palestinians in Lebanon, and 
his assisting the Phalangist group that carried out the horrible and 
unforgivable massacres at Sabra and Shatilla Refugee Camps, while Israeli 
military men stood by hearing the cries and seeing bloodied and children 
running from the camps asking them for help, shining their flood lights for 
the Phalangist Gemayel families and their allies while they did the 
killings; nor the constant destructions of villages, homes and human beings 
under Sharon’s government, nor the lies of Bill Clinton and Barak when they 
kept saying “we’re giving the Palestinians 80% of what they want”—when in 
fact, Barak, with Clinton’s knowledge was building settlements as fast as 
they could be built on seized and occupied Palestinian territory.

The facts go and on, one has but to look at UN reports on these matters of 
Israeli abuses to see that it would take me dozens, nay hundreds of pages 
to cite all the abuses of even the last dozen years—not to mention the 
previous and ongoing atrocities being committed in the name of 
“security”—very much like Hitler needing more and more land for German’s 
“security”.

Of course, the more you expand, the more other land you need to keep 
security in the newly taken land that was allegedly for our “security”—an 
ultimately expanding, never receding state. All the time, American 
presidents, congress and media look the other way; the American people know 
little of the truth of this because the truth comes out only at the UN or 
in such limited outlets as the National Geographic (which has the very best 
article on Israeli settlements and how they have destroyed any sense of a 
Palestinian “west bank” and Gaza and a contiguous Palestinian state (see 
Andrew Cockburn in the October 2002 issue of National Geographic for 
excellent maps, commentary and factual materials on this theft of land, 
resources and culture).

Finally, there are the WMDs and atomic weapons. America, since the 50s, has 
allowed Israeli scientists into Oak Ridge and Los Alamos; they have had 
carte blanche access.

Israel at this time has a huge stock of atomic weapons, thanks to our 
assistance. Israel also has major supplies of anthrax and other poison 
weapons, again, thanks to the assistance of the U.S. Government who at one 
time feared Arab attacks on Israel. These are the reasons that Israel will 
not allow atomic inspectors into Israel and will not sign the vaunted 
American pushed, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that America wants 
everyone else to sign, and uses pressure to achieve this, but never on 
Israel. As to the poison weapons, neither America nor Israel will sign this 
accord banning poison weapons because they have so many in their security 
vaults. Thus, to many experts in the world, the U.S. attack on Iraq for WMD 
and poison weapons, was very much a bald-faced farce, without merit, when 
two of the biggest abusers of atomic proliferation and poison weapons were 
the ones calling for the war, America and Israel (and of course, followed 
by the poodle himself, Tony Blair, who has his own weapons secrets that 
have not yet seen the light of day).

It is time the myths of “poor Israel” be laid to rest. It is time for 
Americans to wake up and look clearly and honestly at one of the prime 
movers of terror in the world, Israel.

It is time that American citizens be told by their government and by their 
media the truth about why so many Arabs and Muslims throughout the world 
are now becoming, not just anti-Bush, but anti-American, because of 
Israel’s cruelty toward their fellow Arab and Muslims, the Palestinians, 
and the brutal unnecessary take-over of Iraq (which was number one on the 
Israeli agenda and thus the influence of key congress people and appointees 
such as Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith and others to help achieve Israel’s goals 
through that way—not to mention that Israel is now going to get cheap Iraqi 
oil, courtesy of America).

Unless America comes clean about Israel, I can speculate with some 
accuracy, that the war between Arabs and Muslims and America will never 
come to an end until this problem of Palestine/Israel, and in addition now, 
prompted by Israel and the pro-Israeli influences in America, the 
Iraq/America-British occupation, is settled justly—all of us will suffer 
from terrorism and the fear of terrorism—physically, emotionally and 
financially ( the financial costs are beyond speculation, just see what it 
has done to our airlines, our manufacturing, our tourism—every sector of 
our economy and the economies of other nations—all because we refuse, in 
America especially, to face up and to deal with the Israel/Palestine 
problem in a just way—because of the long reach of the Israeli tentacles, I 
would say that even American presidents and congress people are afraid to 
speak openly or to act strongly against Israel because they may fear either 
exposure that would ruin their career (as happened to Nixon when he 
suddenly put pressure on Israel to desist in its settlements and threatened 
to cut off funds by executive order, and to Carter when he lost the support 
of the entire Democratic Party and a lot of funds in his re-election 
campaign because he was trying to force Begin to abide by the 
Carter/Begin/Sadat agreements of Camp David), be tarred and feathered as 
was done to Pat Buchanan because he refused to shut up about Israeli abuses 
of American funds and weapons and their killing of Palestinians, to the 
point that even Robert Novak, an internationally respected journalist, has 
recently been attacked as a “self-hating Jew” because he condemned Sharon’s 
behavior an the settlements and breaking of peace negotiation deals. Others 
politicians up to presidents, according to FBI agents I spoke with in the 
80s while I was Director of the Islamic Center in Washington, DC, were 
afraid of assassination by Mossad or their related agents within even the 
American security apparatus. Some may scoff at this because they’ve never 
been inside this big game, but having seen it at work close up, one has to 
see it to believe it.

But newsmen who have worked in South Africa and other parts of the world, 
especially the Middle East know the verity of what I speak. Israel is not 
this “poor little nation, just wanting to survive,” but is a small nation, 
with a huge big brother who protects it because many from Israel and its 
sympathizers have a knife to the jugular of its American big brother, and 
when anyone in America decides to let the truth be known, their career in 
politics, show business, economic, or academic affairs is short-lived 
except in very few exceptional cases—and these tentacles, as I said 
earlier, reach out throughout the world, supported by massive funds, 
discreet placements for influence and media power beyond compare (Rupert 
Murdoch at this time controls all satellite transmissions to the world’s 
media save one transmission line; if the FCC rulings are not reversed and 
he is allowed to buy this last line of satellite transmission, he will own 
them all—and Murdoch is a long-time Zionist of the first order; one has but 
to watch his Faux News or read his newspapers to understand how committed 
he is to Israel and to his anti- Arab, anti-Muslim positions, aside from 
attacking any politician anywhere in the world who has, or should dare, say 
a thing against “tiny Israel.”

Finally, even in the religious arena, the Zionists have been hard at work. 
Their major new alliance is with the ultra-rightist, Evangelical Christian 
movement that is praying for Armageddon and the final war that will bring 
about the return of Christ. In order for this to take place, Israel must 
triumph over its adversaries; to this end, the Evangelical movement has 
sent many people to Israel to prepare for this soon-coming day, G W Bush 
has enlisted his support as has Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell 
and this has translated into bonds between this new alliance and the 
Republican Party and especially support for any and all of G W Bush’s 
actions. Of course, since Sharon is the head of the Israel heading for 
Armageddon, Bush allows him carte blanche in his killing of Palestinians 
and refuses to see Sharon’s terrorism, according to Bush, only Hamas and 
such are “terrorists.” Yes, the world is aghast at this twisting of the 
Christian Gospel, but few of the actual Christian Church scholars from 
established seminaries or universities are allowed to speak on television 
or radio in America, and few are published in major newspapers—rather, the 
ignorant and crazy right wing has control of these media—so you get 
Falwell, Graham and son, Robertson and others putting forth their nonsense 
on a nightly, weekly and monthly basis for the consumption of the gullible 
American public.

It has gone so far in the religious arena that some of these right-wingers 
have called Islam a “religion of evil,” have branded Muhammad, the prophet 
of Islam, as a pedophile based on “evidence” they say (but the evidence is 
from one of their own wacko right-wingers or a Zionist “scholar”). Many of 
the Zionists and ultra-right evangelicals have tried to keep Muslim 
scholars and speakers out of interfaith forums and out of university 
speaking engagements. This type of apostasy is allowed to go on in the name 
of a false brand of Christianity and Judaism. Thus, it has gone from 
politics to the politics of religion, a base type of behaviour that is 
immoral and certainly is an insult to any God they allegedly believe in. I 
sometimes wonder if any of these groups have any God but the almighty God 
of power, just another extension of the Golden Calf that Moses, Jesus and 
Muhammad railed against.

There you have it, this “tiny, little, poor nation of Israel, just 
struggling to survive.” Let us now get rid of this myth; let us face the 
reality. This Israel is not the Israel Moses would have wanted, nor Jesus, 
nor the God these religions profess to believe in. For this Israel is a 
powerhouse of intrigue, lies, brutality and cunning with only destruction 
of others in mind—with lessons the Ashkenazim Jews learned from Hitler—so 
that even to this day, the Falasha (Ethiopian Jews), the Sephardic (the 
true Mediterranean Jews) are treated like second and third class citizens 
in their own land (they have lived there for thousands of years, the 
Ashkenazim of Europe, descendents of the Khazars, converts from Slavic 
tribes to Judaism, have only come to the Middle East in the 20th century), 
and of course, the Palestinians (Philistines in Arabic and Hebrew) who have 
lived there for several thousand years are being brutalized so that Sharon 
and his minions may push them out of this false Israel, aided by their 
ignorant American “Christian” allies who hope that when Armageddon comes, 
all the Jews will convert to Christianity.

Fat chance—just more mythology—but we’ll save that for another day.
