Tax-Exempt Funds Aiding West Bank Settlements
The New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/06/world/middleeast/06settle.html
.. .. HaYovel is one of many groups in the United States using tax-exempt donations to help Jews establish permanence in the Israeli-occupied territories - effectively obstructing the creation of a Palestinian state, widely seen as a necessary condition for Middle East peace. The result is a surprising juxtaposition: As the American government seeks to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the American Treasury helps sustain the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them. A New York Times examination of public records in the United States and Israel identified at least 40 American groups that have collected more than $200 million in tax-deductible gifts for Jewish settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem over the last decade.

US Grants Tax Exemptions For Illegal Israeli Settlements

A New York Times investigation revealed Tuesday that the U.S. Treasury is helping to promote illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank by granting tax exemptions to U.S. groups that funnel money into them. These specific settlements aren't only illegal under international law, but also under Israeli law. The funds -- $200 million over the past decade -- undermine the very peace process Washington claims to support. "The result is a surprising juxtaposition: As the American government seeks to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the American Treasury helps sustain the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them," reports The New York Times.

What Christians Don't Know About Israel
Grace Halsell
http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/what_christians.shtml
American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas of our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U.S. policy? .. .. The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle East policy might lie elsewhere - among those who support Israel but don't really know why. This group is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning, fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel - and Zionism - often from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood.

FBI Expands Probe of Fraud at Holocaust Claims Conference
Jewish Week (New York)
http://www.thejewishweek.com//news/national/exclusive_fbi_expands_probe_fraud_holocaust_claims_conference
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has widened its probe into allegedly fraudulent Holocaust-era claims that could have bilked the German government out of millions of dollars, The Jewish Week has learned. The fraud was discovered in December by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany in New York, which processes Holocaust-era claims for survivors in behalf of the German government. It immediately contacted federal authorities, including the FBI. The fraud initially involved claims submitted to the Hardship Fund but has now been broadened to include the Article 2 Fund, a pension program that may have been defrauded out of about $7 million over the last decade. Both investigations are continuing and the Article 2 Fund pensions of more than 200 people were suspended last Thursday.

Rethinking Iran-Contra: A Much Darker Story?
Robert Parry
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2010/063010.html
.. .. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that the traditional view of Iran-Contra was mistaken, that this conventional understanding of the scandal was like starting a novel in the middle and assuming you're reading the opening chapter .. .. In view of the latest evidence - and the crumbling of the long-running October Surprise cover-up -- there appears to have been a single Iran-Contra narrative spanning the entire twelve years of the Reagan and Bush I administration, and representing a much darker story. And it was not simply a tale of Republican electoral skullduggery and treachery, but possibly even more troubling, a story of rogue CIA officers and Israel's Likud hardliners sabotaging a sitting U.S. president, Jimmy Carter.

Polish Court Orders Israeli Spy Suspect Extradited
The Associated Press
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100707/ap_on_re_eu/eu_poland_hamas_slaying
An Israeli man suspected of involvement in the slaying of a Hamas operative will be extradited to Germany, a Polish court ruled Wednesday. Suspected Mossad agent Uri Brodsky is wanted by Germany, which accuses him of the crimes of spying and of helping falsely obtain a German passport allegedly used in connection with the assassination of Mahmoud al-Manhouh in a Dubai hotel in January. Suspicion immediately fell on the Mossad, but Israel has never commented on the killing and has refused comment on Brodsky. The Polish judge, Tomasz Calkiewicz, ruled Wednesday that Brodsky can be extradited based on suspicion of forgery.

Israeli Duplicity Comes Ever More Clearly into Focus
Jeff Gates
http://criminalstate.com/2010/07/bibi-back-at-the-white-house-the-consistency-of-israeli-duplicity-comes-ever-more-clearly-in-focus/
With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting the White House July 6, it's time to recall how Tel Aviv deceived Washington throughout the entirety of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. U.S. military leaders will be watching this meeting very closely, as will the veterans community. For me, confirmation of Israel's strategic duplicity came in a meeting with Harry McPherson who served as counsel and speechwriter for Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ entered the Senate in 1948 with Louisiana Senator Russell Long for whom I served as counsel and speechwriter. At his law offices in Washington, Harry described his arrival in Tel Aviv the night that the 1967 War began. That war typifies the consistency of this ongoing deceit.

The Senate Transportation Committee approved the compromise that requires bidders in California's $45 billion high-speed rail project to reveal whether they transported Nazi victims to death or prison camps between 1942 and 1944.
