Israel Refuses U.S. Request for Field Hospital to Aid Ebola Fight
By Richard Silverstein | Tikun Olam | October 3, 2014
The U.S. ambassador to the UN, Samantha Powers, ever alert to opportunities to showcase Israel’s better qualities to the world (aka hasbara), suggested to the foreign ministry that it send a medical field hospital to Sierra Leone, to help that country combat the deadliest outbreak of Ebola the world has ever seen. Powers offered Israel a golden opportunity in the aftermath of the Gaza slaughter to show the world a kinder, gentler face.
This is precisely what Israel did in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake when it parachuted a team into the country where it stayed for two weeks, named a new baby “Israel” and promptly left–after videotaping the enterprise for suitable exploitation in hasbara efforts. I called that escapade, The Zionization of Disaster Relief.
But this time, it was not to be. Though the foreign ministry approved the project, it required the blessing of the defense ministry. Bogie Yaalon isn’t known for his humanitarian spirit and he showed it in spades this time. He refused to offer assistance to an African country absolutely bereft of resources to fight the epidemic saying:
Yaalon said it would risk infecting Israeli medical teams and the army troops that would secure them, according to Ynet. Israel’s assistance was sought in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
This further reinforces the notion of Israel and the IDF in particular being racist, favoring the lives of Israeli Jews over the lives of African epidemic victims. Of what use are Israel’s vaunted medical advances (trumpeted in hasbara campaigns the world over) if it doesn’t utilize them to help non-Israelis in need? Think about it: the IDF just murdered 2,100 Gazans, 500 children among them. Here it has a chance to mitigate some of that awful PR and it refuses. Scratch your head and wonder who’s runnin’ the ship…
Add to this that Israel has 60,000 African refugees which it treats like dirt and you don’t have a very pretty picture. The Israeli Supreme Court directed the government to close the refugee detention camp at Holot. So far it has refused. Remember all those pro-Israel advocates bragging about the rule of law and Israeli democracy? Not so much in this case.

Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11
By Kevin Ryan | Dig Within | August 8, 2015
… What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media. Here are fourteen.
- An outline of what was to become the 9/11 Commission Report was produced before the investigation began. The outline was kept secret from the Commission’s staff and appears to have determined the outcome of the investigation.
- The 9/11 Commission claimed sixty-three (63) times in its Report that it could find “no evidence” related to important aspects of the crimes.
- One person, Shayna Steiger, issued 12 visas to the alleged hijackers in Saudi Arabia. Steiger issued some of the visas without interviewing the applicants and fought with another employee at the embassy who tried to prevent her lax approach.

Israel does not go out of its way to create and reap the reputation for being hatred, racism and insane vengeance incarnate and then blow the whole costly don’t-fuck-with-us PR effort on some cuddly panda bear celebrity humanitarian photo-ops.
Israel’s core purpose is to defy the foolish western media belief that it is not really a racist psychopathic warmongering state acting as yahweh’s vengeful agent on earth.
Towards this, Israel is heavily invested in cultivating and supporting ISIS from its Golan occupation zone and the purpose of ISIS is still to provide the USA with an excuse and rationale to shock & awe obliterate secular Syria in favour of its conversion to balkanized sectarian tributary fiefdoms allied to the Zionist war machine.
Look, ISIS is Israel, and Israel leads the US hunting pack with a trail of blood, fake drags and bribery. Better for Israel to come fully out of the murderous closet now and do some Netanyahu photo-ops drinking beer with the most recognizable ISIS beheaders in their Golani stronghold.
Above all, Israel wants to be feared. In order to be feared, it must behave like a raging maniac unconstrained by any kind of empathy and it must do this in every venue accessible.
Once the media has achieved our absolute conviction that Israel is mad dog insane, only then can they provide a cuddly humanizing but still crazy caveat like Hitler’s great affection for Blondi, his alsatian dog.
Israel is a psy-op through which as remote surrogate the USA experiences global real politik and acts out its truly unjustifiable need for greater and greater aggression. The Israeli David tail wags the American Goliath dog and Israel is used to frame and position the USA to do the things on behalf of an inhuman empire that are far beyond the wishes, conscience and aspirations of the American people.

ISrael/Mossad is suspected, to control the US-NATO/EU/UN/ICC/ICJ – in fact it is suspected they are behind the Ebola-EUGENICS-Bioterrrorism; to rob the URANIUM from Islamic-ruled Guinea, reduce the population of African Muslims by millions, and to stop any export of Uranium to Islamic countries! You see – only ISreal/Zionists-controlled West, are allowed to posssess Nuclear weapons in the future – in order to achieve their most FASCIST, TERRORIST and MURDEROUS One World Govt!
