THE BEST LAID PLANS
OF MICE
By Barry Chamish
The EU's political head, Javier Solana showed up in Israel today (July
24), and ran into the arms of Europe's chief spy in the Israeli cabinet,
Shimon Peres. And, because Solana and Europe are so dreadfully boring,
hardly anyone paid attention to the evil significance of the visit.
Luckily for us, an attorney, Constance E. Cumbey, is keeping close watch
on Solana. She can be reached at: cumbey@tir.com
She writes:
"I have kept the closest of tabs on Dr. Solana since he first came to
my attention -- November 22, 1995. I collected all I could find thereafter
about his earlier activities. I have saved all to disk. Perhaps the best
way to transmit might be by CD-ROM. I have prepared an informational
video; I am working on a book about him. Since I practice law on a
full-time basis, all is not easy. I did meet a Daniel Seaman, Director of
the Foreign Press Department, Government Press Office, Office of the Prime
Minister (then Barak) at a War Bonds for Israel dinner last fall. His
address is 37 Hillel Street, Jerusalem 94581; telephone 972-2-623-3389-90;
FAX 972-2-623-3388; Web Site www.gpo.gov.il.
I did bend his ear at some length that evening about Javier Solana. He
knew about the EU and damage coming from it, but was a little bit more
clueless about Solana, but said he wanted to learn much more. He offered
to get me press credentials if I wanted to come to Israel. I do believe he
may have taken to heart what I told him and he might be an excellent
contact. I told him he and the others in Israel would be very wise to
learn as much about Solana as they knew about Hitler. Solana,
unfortunately, appears to be tens of times shrewder and smarter than Mr.
Hitler, and far more disarming. If one looks carefully, however, the fangs
are obviously showing."
Ms. Cumbey's approach is to absorb what Solana is telling the Arabs and
what they are saying about him. She sent along some examples. Permit me to
add some comments:
Greater EU role in Middle East peace process demanded The Emirates News
Agency (WAM) Posted Thursday May 24, 2001 - 10:12:26 AM EDT
Abu Dhabi - A UAE newspaper hoped today the European Union (EU) would play
greater role in mediation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, saying that
the partisan role of the US had harmed peace-making.
The "Gulf News" said in part : "The European Union (EU) is
beginning to take a high- profile interest in the Palestinian- Israeli
conflict. It has endorsed the Mitchell report and said it stands ready to
assist the parties.
"The EU head of foreign policy Javier Solana was a member of the
Mitchell Commission which authored the report, and he has undertaken a
tour of the region and held meetings with officials from both sides. The
EU is one of the biggest aid donors of the Palestinians and has extensive
economic interests and ties in the region."
Now let's get this straight. Solana was a member of the Mitchell
Commission, whose findings Israel alone adopted and since then has
suffered over 700 terror attacks. Yet Solana tells the Arabs that the US
role had harmed their peaceful interests. That means that Mitchell, the US
mediator, was harmful but not Solana, who worked hand in hand with
Mitchell to write his commission's report.
Either Solana is a double-dealing, back-stabbing cretin or he's playing
the role demanded of him, which is to make it appear that the EU and US
have not coordinated Middle East policy. We can already conclude that if
Mitchell demanded that Israel adopt a one-way cease-fire which lets the
PLO murder with impunity, so did the EU.
"Palestinians now want to see the EU play a greater role in mediation
in the conflict with Israel. This would be beneficial for everyone. The
overbearing and partisan role of the United States has done much to
exacerbate the situation. Palestinians cannot get a just deal because the
mediator is so clearly and avowedly biased.
"The
EU has always propagated a balanced approach to the conflict and insisted
on the implementation of UN Resolution 242 and 338. It has also called for
a freeze in settlements.
"A
more direct role would enable the EU to flex its political muscle and grow
out of the shadows of the US. It would instill greater balance in
diplomacy and perhaps provide the opening that everyone has been searching
for," the paper said."
And now we see how Solana has pulled the wool over the Arabs' eyes. He has
convinced them that the EU's policy towards Israel is more unbiased than
America's, and that it would press harder for Israel's demise. By leaving
this impression, Solana also does some wool-pulling over Israeli eyes.
Clearly, they must reason, America is a much better friend of Israel than
the EU... the same America which prepared and endorsed the Mitchell
Commission report, of which, Solana was an active contributor. Now let's
have a look what Solana told the Syrians:
Al-Assad confers with Solana, Syrian patriarchs Syria-European Union,
Politics, 5/22/2001.
"Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday in Damascus's al-Shaab
palace received the European Union's foreign policy and Security Council
chairman Javier Solana and members of the accompanying delegation.
"The
meeting was attended by the foreign minister Farouk al- Shara. Talks dealt
with the conditions in the occupied Arab territories and the practices of
genocide conducted by Israel against the Palestinians.
"The
president stressed the importance of the ME peace progress in terms of
maintaining clear- cut criteria according to provisions of the
International legitimacy resolutions and the Madrid's terms of reference
with a view to achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
"AL-Assad
also noted the effective role of the EU has to play in the peace process.
An agreement was concluded on continuing contacts between Syria and the EU.
In a statement to SANA following his meeting with President al-Assad,
Solana described the talks as very positive and constructive."
Solana has just attended a meeting with the Syrian president and foreign
minister and the topic is Israel's ongoing genocide against the
Palestinians. Does he vigorously reply that the only genocide being
discussed in the region is the Arabs' plans for Israel? Does he condemn
the PLO's serial murder of innocents? Nope, he views what was discussed as
constructive."
He said that his talks with President al-Assad covered the situation in
the region and relations between the EU and Syria.
He added: "I am very pleased and wish to go back to Damascus to
complete my talks."
He continued: "'We, in the European Union, are trying our best to
stop the cycle of violence and to create the conditions that allow the
resumption of constructive negotiations." Solana, who is on a Middle
East tour of five countries and the Palestinian territories, added that he
had:" good and productive" talks with President al-Assad, which
also covered negotiations on an association agreement between Syria and
the EU.
"'I
had a very good meeting with the President.. I think I have a very good
picture about the thinking of Syria about the situation in the
region.'"
Look what Solana offered Syria; an associate membership in the EU, with
all the monetary benefits that go along with joining the club. Now why
would the EU welcome Syria as a junior partner? For its future
contributions to the well-being of the European continent? To spread its
fine human rights record to the world? And why would Syria agree unless
the EU and Solana made some very concrete proposals concerning Israel? Now
what could they include?"
"It was also on Monday, the president received at the Damascus al-Shaab
Palace Patriarch of Antioch and All the East for the Greek Orthodox,
Patriarch Zakka Iwaz I, the patriarch of Antoich and all the east for
Syrian Orthodox, Higher President of the Syriac Church in the World,
Patriarch Isador Bateikha, the deputy patriarch for the Greek- Catholics.
The patriarchs expressed their "high appreciation for the President's
wise leadership, his national attitudes and his efforts for activating
Arab solidarity in confrontation of the current challenges."
Could it be Solana made a promise to get the Jews out of the Old City of
Jerusalem and Assad just couldn't wait to tell the good news to his
Christian patriarchs?
At this very moment, some 200 European troops from a Ukrainian division,
are learning the lay of the land in Jerusalem. They have been spotted
roaming the Old City by several of my correspondents. Israel's perfidious
leader Sharon is supposedly opposing the presence of EU troops while
knowing they are already wandering his land. He would prefer inviting a
contingent of CIA monitors, we are told, as if they won't be coordinating
their murderous plots against Israel with the soldiers of the EU.
Last week, the settlers were set up but good. A former Kach leader, Noam
Federman, had three bombs planted in his car by radical elements of the
General Security Services (Shabak). A lie was spread that he had planned
to use them against Arabs. He wisely blamed the Shabak for the setup, but
that didn't stop the Shabak from continuing their plan. Next, three Arabs,
including an infant, were shot dead on a road near Hebron and The
Committee For Road Safety took responsibility. This same group was run by
the Shabak provocateur Avishai Raviv in the early 1990s, which the Shabak
obviously forgot when they tried blaming Kach for the murders.
Everything is in place: the EU troops are coming, the CIA is on the way in
bigger and more deadly numbers to "stop the violence" by
removing the "violent" settlers from their homes, starting with
Hebron and ending, for a spell, in Jerusalem.
However, there is a fly in the ointment, a spanner in the works, that
could put an end to these best laid plans of mice, and that is the Rabin
murder. As a result of President Katzav's early release of Margalit Har
Shefi, there has a been a spirited revival of Rabin truth and demands for
it. Here are two radio reports sent to me by correspondents:
"Yesterday, the Radio interviewed Yitzchak Rabin's grandson regarding
the release of Margalit Har Shefi. The grandson revealed that Leah Rabin
had her doubts and questions about the assassination of Yitzchak but was
afraid to open pandora's box."
"Today,
18.7.01, on the Jojo Aboutbul evening radio talk show, an Israeli
journalist from Bet El went live on the line to praise President Katzav
for pardoning Har Shefi. He went on to disclose that, according to a
cabinet protocol released shortly after the Rabin murder but immediately
banned from further publication, a very senior cabinet minister suggested
during a cabinet meeting that 'we must stage a political assassination' in
order to further the Oslo process. The journalist said the cabinet meeting
protocols were available for a day or two, then strictly banned by
government and GSS decrees and failed to reach the mass media.
Nevertheless, he's got a copy of it. He went on to say that the public did
not get a chance to demand a REAL investigation into the Rabin murder and
unfortunately the real murderer is still at large. At this point Juju
forcefully cut him off, in mid-broadcast."
Now, of course, we know that cabinet minister was Shimon Peres, the same
fellow who smilingly hugged Solana earlier today. And if the Rabin
assassination truth emerges, he will fall hard, as will the coterie of
"peacemakers" who have brought Israel to the precipice of
extinction.
And look who demanded that the truth come out! Recall July 24, because on
this day, after nearly six years of cowardly silence, the Jerusalem Post
finally displayed integrity. The concluding paragraphs of its main
editorial read:
"The fact remains that the killing of Rabin continues to haunt
Israeli society, as the ruckus over the Har Shefi pardon made all too
apparent. There are still too many questions that remain open, such as the
role of GSS agent-provocateur Avishai Raviv, for the wounds on the
national psyche to have healed properly and fully. Indeed, Raviv is
suspected of far more grievous crimes than Har Shefi, yet he still has not
been brought to trial.
"The
Raviv case could very well answer many of the lingering uncertainties
surrounding the assassination regarding who knew what and when they knew
it. If Israeli society is to truly succeed in uniting, it will have to
come to terms with the divisions engendered by that horrific act, and the
only way to do so is to start by removing whatever question marks still
remain. Let us hope that such clarity will be achieved promptly and
unequivocally."
For the first time since the Rabin assassination, we all applaud the
Jerusalem Post...all except Solana, Peres, Gillon and company.
