Tehran has repeatedly vowed revenge after the T-4 army base in Syria was struck in an air raid — widely attributed to Israel — on April 9, killing at least seven members of the IRGC, including a senior officer responsible for the group’s drone program.
“The IDF sees this Iranian attack on Israel with severity,” said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus.
“This event is not over,” he said.

Iranian Forces Fired Rockets At Israeli Targets

AP Iranian forces on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights fired approximately 20 projectiles or rockets at Israeli targets in the Golan Heights, Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said early Thursday. He said that Israel intercepted “a few” of the rockets and there were no reports of casualties and that damage to Israeli positions was “limited.” The Israel Defense Forces said that the attack was carried out by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Forces, according to The Times of Israel. Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday also killed at least 15 people, including eight Iranians, in the Kisweh area south of Damascus.
IDF: Iranian forces fire 20 rockets at Israel; Iron Dome intercepts some
No Israeli injuries reported in attack; sirens blare in Golan Heights; Syrian army post comes under fire in Quneitra as tensions skyrocket on Israel-Syria border
Some 20 rockets were fired at Israeli military bases by Iranian forces in southern Syria just after midnight on Thursday, with some of the incoming missiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system, the army said, amid sky high tensions on the northern border.
There were no reports of Israeli casualties in the attack. An army spokesperson said damage was caused to Israeli military bases, but that it was “limited.”
The Israeli army said the missile barrage was carried out by members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Forces. This appeared to be the first time that Israel attributed an attack directly to Iran, which generally operates through proxies. The late night rocket barrage was also the largest attack, in terms of the number of rockets fired, in the seven years of the Syrian civil war.
Tehran has repeatedly vowed revenge after the T-4 army base in Syria was struck in an air raid — widely attributed to Israel — on April 9, killing at least seven members of the IRGC, including a senior officer responsible for the group’s drone program.
Immediately following the Iranian attack at 12:10 a.m., Syrian state media reported that Israeli artillery fire targeted a military post near the city of Baath in the Quneitra border region, where Syrian regime forces were stationed.
Approximately an hour and a half later, the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar news outlet reported that Syrian army air defenses were responding to an Israeli air strike against a target southwest of Damascus.
Syria’s state news agency said early Thursday that Syrian air defenses had intercepted “hostile Israeli missiles,” and Syrian media later said the missiles were fired over southwestern Damascus.
The pro-Syrian government Al-Mayadeen TV said more than 50 missiles had been fired from Syria toward Israeli forces in the Golan Heights.
The Israel Defense Forces spokesperson confirmed that the army had retaliated to the alleged Iranian attack, but would not comment on the specific details.
“The IDF sees this Iranian attack on Israel with severity,” said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus.
“This event is not over,” he said.

Sirens blared across the Golan Heights throughout the exchange, sending residents into bomb shelters. The IDF Home Front Command called on residents to listen to security instructions as needed.
The spokesperson said the army was still sorting out many of the specific details related to the attack, such as which army bases were targeted, what types of projectiles were used, how many rockets were fired, from where they were launched, and how many were intercepted.
It was unclear if the Quds Forces’ rocket barrage would be the extent of Iran’s reprisal. Israeli intelligence assessments ahead of the attack indicated that Tehran was not looking to escalate the situation into all-out war and was looking instead for a contained way to retaliate, which may also be why the bombardment targeted military and not civilian sites.

A video shared on social media shortly after midnight on Thursday appeared to show the barrage of missiles apparently being fired by a multiple launch rocket systems, or MLRS, from Syria toward Israel.
Residents of both the Israeli and Syrian Golan Heights reported hearing loud, repeated explosions.
The attack came a day after the military called on local governments on the Golan Heights to open bomb shelters, in light of “abnormal” activities by Iranian forces in Syria. The barrage also followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday night that he was pulling the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposing sanctions on Tehran.
On Tuesday, eight Iranians were among 15 foreign pro-regime fighters killed in a suspected Israeli strike in Syria on a weapons depot of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, a monitor said. The raid struck the area of Kisweh south of Damascus late Tuesday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said on Wednesday.

Syria’s official news agency SANA said on Tuesday the army had intercepted two Israeli missiles fired toward Kisweh, with state television broadcasting images of fires in the nearby area.
Since the start of Syria’s civil war in 2011, Israel has repeatedly targeted positions of the Syrian army and the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group backing it inside the country.
On April 29, missile strikes — “probably Israeli” — fired on regime military positions near the cities of Hama and Aleppo in northern Syria killed at least 26 mostly Iranian fighters, according to the Observatory.
On April 9, missiles targeted the T-4 air base in the central province of Homs, killing up to 14 fighters, including seven Iranians, two days after an alleged chemical attack carried out by the Syrian regime.
Russia, Iran and Syria accused Israel of carrying out the strike.
In light of both the general tension and specific intelligence, the IDF went on high alert this week, deploying additional missile defense batteries in northern Israel. “There is high preparedness of IDF troops for an attack,” the army said on Tuesday.

A number of army reservists were called upon Tuesday night, the army said. An IDF spokesperson would not elaborate on which units they came from, but media reports indicated they served in air defense, intelligence and Home Front Command units.
Earlier on Tuesday, the US embassy in Israel also prohibited American government employees from visiting the Golan Heights without approval in light of the security situation on the border.
“The IDF is ready and prepared for a variety of scenarios and warns that any action against Israel will be answered with a fierce retaliation,” the army said.
On Sunday night, Israeli defense officials warned that Iran was planning to retaliate for recent deadly airstrikes in Syria, which have been attributed to the Jewish state, by having its proxies fire missiles at military targets in northern Israel sometime in the near future.
Security forces were also preparing for the possibility of attempted infiltrations of military bases and communities in the north, Hadashot TV news reported on Monday.

Iran military in Syria fire ’20 MISSILES’ at Israel targets in Golan Heights
IRAN MILITARY forces in Syria have fired an estimated 20 missiles at Israel targets in the Golan Heights, according to Tel Aviv military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus.
Israeli air raid sirens have sounded in the Golan Heights
The spokesman detailed that “a few” of the rockets were intercepted by Israel and the damage to its positions was “limited”.
Israel’s Defence Forces added: “About an hour ago, IDF defence systems identified approximately 20 rockets that the Iranian Quds forces launched at IDF forward posts on the Golan Heights.
“A number of rockets were intercepted by the IDF’s Iron Dome aerial defence system.
“No injuries were reported. The IDF views this event with great severity and remains prepared for a wide variety of scenarios.”
The Quds forces are an external arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, a branch of the nation’s military.
Reports have since emerged declaring that up to 50 missiles have been launched at Israel so far.
Tel Aviv’s military declared “several bases were targeted” in the effort and as it announced it had “responded”.
Lieutenant Colonel Conricus did not clarify what the Israeli response was.
He went on: “We have retaliated but I have no further details about this.”
Israeli air raid sirens sounded in the Golan Heights just hours after Israel was reported to have carried out a missile strike targeting Iranian weapons depots in Syria.
Residents in the Golan Heights, which borders Syria, and in the city of Katzrin were forced out of bed and rushed to bomb shelters as Iran carried out the military effort, the Jewish Press reported.
Israel is believed to have ordered a strike on a military target south of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Tuesday night.
However, the country has not confirmed or denied involvement.
Syrian state media said two missiles were blasted out of the sky and two civilians were killed in an explosion.
But UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the missiles hit weapons depots and missile launchers belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
The Israeli Defence Forces said yesterday it had “detected irregular Iranian activity in Syria”.
It said its forces had been placed on “high alert for attack”.
Tensions in the region have been high since Donald Trump announced he was removing the US from the Iran nuclear deal.
On Tuesday the billionaire said he would impose the “highest level” of economic sanctions on Tehran as he claimed the state was on the brink of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran immediately responded by warning it would begin enriching more uranium than ever if negotiations with other countries in the pact failed.

Iranian Force Launches Missiles at Golan; Syria Says Intercepted Rockets Launched by Israel
In first, army attributes attack on Israeli territory to Iran ■ Golan residents requested to stay in shelters until warning lifted ■ Syrian reports claim Israel struck regime targets in Golan Heights
Syrian reports late Wednesday night said that Israeli missiles were launched at Syria. The reports, which were not confirmed by Israel, alleged that Syria has intercepted some of the missiles.
Moments earlier, a barrage of 20 rockets was fired from Syria towards Israeli military outposts in the Golan Heights. No injuries were reported. Several rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The Israeli army is attributing the attack to members of the Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
The rocket fire struck near the border with Syria.
The military said intelligence assessments earlier in the week anticipated that after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he was withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear accord, Israel was likely to be targeted by rocket fire and Iran would try to retaliate.
Nonetheless, the army has predicted that such an attack would not lead to a full-fledged war. Tehran has issued several threats over the past month, saying that it would hurt Israel in response to a slew of attacks that were ascribed to the Israeli air force. The latest attack, carried out on May 9, claimed the lives of seven Iranians in the Syrian air force base T4.
Over the past month tensions have been high along the Israeli border with Syria and the army has increased security measures in the area, deploying more Iron Dome batteries across the northern region.
After rocket fire was reported Wednesday night, IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manelis told reporters that the attack was carried out by members of the Iranian Quds force and that Israel views the incident gravely. The army is currently assessing the situation and considering whether to hand out more instructions to Israeli residents of the area to fend off should the situation escalate further.
This is the first time Israel directly accuses Iran of firing towards Israeli territory. During the Syrian Civil War errant fire struck the Golan several times; usually local organizations in southern Syria that are affiliated with Iran, Hezbollah and the Assad regime were behind those attacks. This Iran-led strike on Israeli territory, however, is the most extensive of its kind to date.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday that Israel has attacked targets of the Syrian military on the outskirts of Quneitra in the Golan Heights.
Shortly thereafter siren alerts sounded in communities in the north and center of the Golan Heights in northern Israel. The Home Front Command released a reminder on safety regulations to residents of the area; some reported hearing explosions.
The Golan Regional Council released a statement saying that several towns in the Golan were targeted by rocket fire and that residents of those towns are requested to stay in shelters until notified otherwise.
A U.S. State Department official responded to the escalation on Wednesday, telling Haaretz that the State Department wishes to reiterate Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement from last week in which he stressed the U.S.’s support of Israel against the Iranian threat.
“We stand with Israel in the fight against Iran’s malign activities and we strongly support Israel’s sovereign right to defend itself. If true [evidence provided by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran's nuclear activity in recent years], this only bolsters our decision to terminate the JCPOA. Iran will have showed the world it’s true intentions. Let there be no doubt.”
This attack comes on the heels of a Syrian report Tuesday accusing Israel of carrying out an attack on a military base south of Damascus, which was used by Iranian forces. According to reports, Israeli fighter jets entered Syrian airspace and struck Iranian missiles aimed at Israel.

PUTIN to END I$RAEL’$ OCCUPATION IN SYRIA’s GOLAN Heights
April 23rd 2016
WHAT COULD CAUSE RUSSIA TO INVADE I$RAEL
At the time, Israel’s Prime Minister had flown to Washington, and was making a desperate bid to get Obama’s support for Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Only a few weeks earlier a DISCOVERY had been made that would serve to increase tensions on the question of sovereignty over the Golan – HUGE OIL DEPOSIT$ were FOUND on The GOLAN HEIGHTS, and verified by an Israeli company.
Yet, weeks later, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to Israel having failed to secure Obamas support.
It wasnt long before the United Nations – including Russia – CONDMNED I$RAEL$ “OCCUPATION” OF the GOLAN Heights, and around the same time, SYRIA ASKED RUSSIA to DEVELOP THEIR Oil RESOURCES.
Then, over the course of the next 6 months, the Israeli leadership became very concerned about Russian activity near the Golan.
EU doesn’t recognize I$RAELI OCCUPATION OF the GOLAN

The I$RAELI OCCUPATION The WORLD FORGOT: The GOLAN Heights
December 26, 2011
While the mainstream MEDIA commonly refers to the West Bank and Gaza as the Occupied Palestinian Territories, it often INCORRECTLY CALLS The GOLAN Heights….
PART of I$RAEL. 
HOW HAS the OCCUPATION IMPACTED the GOLAN
AND….WHY HAS the WORLD FORGOTTEN IT
PROTESTORS mark the ANNIVERSARY of the 1982 UPRISING that some LOCALS refer to as “the Intifada of the people of the Golan Heights” or the Golan Intifada (photo: Mya Guarnieri)
Earlier this month, The Atlantic published “2011: The Year in PHOTOS.” It included a picture of PALESTINIAN PROTESTORS climbing the fence that separates, according to The Atlantic, the “I$RAEL-SYRIA BORDER … near Majdal Shams.” The caption explained that Majdal Shams is located in “northern Israel.”
Imagine the fury if mainstream media outlets referred to the occupied West Bank as “Judea and Samaria.” That would be equivalent to calling the Golan Heights, which also lies beyond the Green Line, “northern Israel.”
TACITLY LEGITIMIZES the 1981 I$RAELI ANNEXATION, 
which has been rejected by the United Nations on numerous occasions in numerous resolutions and goes unrecognized by the international community.
CALLING the GOLAN “NORTHERN ISRAEL”
It is this kind of BLIND REPITITION of The I$RAELI government LINE that HAS CAUSED both Israeli citizens and THE WORLD to FORGET that The GOLAN Heights IS OCCUPIED TERRITORY, not unlike East Jerusalem.
I$RAEL WILL NOT ALLOW for NATURAL POPULATION GROWTH.
Those who live in both East Jerusalem and the GOLAN HEIGHTS are not citizens of the state but RESIDENTS who PAY TAXES TO The ISRAELI GOVERNMENT and RECEIVE next to NOTHING IN RETURN. The RESIDENTS OF The GOLAN RUN THEIR OWN HOSPITALS. THEY BUILD THEIR OWN SCHOOLS. And, as is the case in East Jerusalem and Area C in the West Bank, THEY USUALLY BUILD WITHOUT PERMITS as
As is the case in the West Bank, ARAB RESIDENTS of The OCCUPIED GOLAN Heights HAVE FACED RESTRICTIVE ACCESS to THEIR LANDS, LAND CONFISCATION AND, TIGHT WATER RESTRICTIONS THAT IMPEDE THEIR FARMING.
According to the NGO Jawlan- Golan for the Development of the Arab villages, the area’s I$RAELI $ETTLER$ U$E A$ MUCH A$ 17 TIME$ MORE WATER per capita THAN the INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS of The GOLAN.
As is the case with Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Palestinian citizens of Israel, I$RAELI EXPUL$ION$ and EXPAN$ION…HAS SPLIT GOLAN FAMILIES in TWO.
In 1967… 130,000 ARAB INHABITANTS WERE EXPELLED FROM the GOLAN heights, LEAVING ONLY 6000 RESIDENTS behind. As a number of Majdal Shams residents told me, EVERY HOUSE IN The GOLAN is DIVIDED. EVERYONE HAS FAMILY in SYRIA,
LOVED ONES THEY SEE THROUGH BINOCULARS at SHOUTING HILL, COUSINS THEY TALK TO THROUGH BULLHORNS, BROTHERS THEY HAVE NEVER MET. 
As is the case with the Palestinians, RESIDENTS of The GOLAN HAVE RESISTED I$RAELI OCCUPATION.
MANY a member of the Golan Heights’ community has been HELD in I$RAELI JAIL$ a$ POLITICAL PRI$ONER$.
But The Atlantic isn’t the only media outlet to forget the occupation of the Golan. For reasons I don’t quite understand, a number of journalists I’ve spoken to consider the Golan “different” from the Palestinian territories. Perhaps it’s easier for journalists to talk about “Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories” or the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” But to do so is an oversimplification that ignores the broader regional context that includes the Golan Heights.
Or, perhaps, journalists have bought into Israel’s line that the Golan residents aren’t Arab, they’re Druze, and the Druze are “different.” But, talk to most Druze in the Golan and they’ll tell you that they are Druze only by religion. Most identify as Arab, Syrian, or both.
The GOLAN Heights serves as YET ANOTHER REMINDER THAT the CONFLICT on the ground I$ VERY DIFFERENT THAN the $TORY I$RAEL…
OFFER$ UP TO The WORLD. The conflict isn’t about the Western world battling the Muslim world; it’s not a clash of cultures or a clash of values; the occupation isn’t a security measure, meant to protect Israel from “terrorists.” And while the Palestinians are the people who, as a whole, suffer the direst consequences of the conflict and the occupation, the conflict and THE OCCUPATION isn’t necessarily about the Palestinians—IT’$ ABOUT the JEWI$H state PRIVILEGING JEWI$H INTERE$T$ and rights OVER those of non-Jewish “OTHERS.”

COVET$ GOLAN’S WATER and NOW OIL
June 7, 2016
By Jonathan Marshall
Exclusive: Israel’s Prime Minister NETANYAHU…I$ DEFIANTLY…A$$ERTING PERMANENT CONTROL OVER….The OCCUPID GOLAN Heights, a determination $TRENGTHENED by I$RAEL’$ EXTRACTION of WATER and NOW possibly OIL from the land.
On June 1, Israeli police burst into the home of AN ISRAELI JOURNALIST, confiscated his computer and camera, and arrested him for “incitement to violence and terrorism.” His employer, Iran’s government broadcasting company, said the Druze reporter had ANTAGONIZED the NETANYAHU government WITH HIS HARD-HITTING REPORTS on I$RAEL’$ PLAN$
A 460 SQUARE-MILE REGION of…SYRIA…$EIZED by I$RAEL during the Six Day War IN 1967.
FOR “$TEALING$ OIL from The GOLAN Heights……….
Such reports come at a particularly sensitive time for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other right-wing I$RAELI POLITICIAN$, who ARE $EEKING to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the ONGOING WAR in SYRIA
TO CEMENT I$RAEL’$ CONTROL OVER The GOLAN. 
THEIR…AL-LIE$…INCLUDE such influential Americans as RUPERT MURDOCK, DICK CHENEY, former CIA Director JAME$ WOOL$EY, AND former Treasury Secretary LARRY $UMMER$, all of WHOM are BACKING an OIL DRILLING OPERATION OF DOUBTFUL LEGALITY IN the OCCUPIED REGION.
Besides its strategic value and potential oil, The GOLAN Heights IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF I$RAEL’$ FRE$H WATERV and AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT$…
AND….A LEADING TOURIST DESTINATION.
IF…EXPLORATORY DRILLING UNLOCKS A$ MUCH OIL AS SOME GEOLOGISTS PREDICT…….

I$RAEL GRANT$ OIL RIGHT$….IN SYRIA
….To MURDOCH and ROTH$CHILD
February 21st 2013
I$RAEL has GRANTED OIL exploration RIGHTS…INSIDE SYRIA…IN the OCCUPIED GOLAN Heights….to GENIE ENERGY.
MAJOR $HAREHOLDER$ of GENIE ENERGY – which also has interests in shale gas in the United States and shale oil in Israel – include RUPERT MURDOCH and Lord JACOB ROTH$CHILD.
This from a 2010 Genie Energy press release………
Jacob ROTH$CHILD…AND…Rupert MURDOCH ARE EXTREMELY WELL REGARDED 
by and connected to leaders in these sectors. Their guidance and participation will prove invaluable.” 
Claude Pupkin, CEO of Genie Oil and Gas, commented, “Genie’s success will ultimately depend, in part, on access to the expertise of the oil and gas industry and to the financial markets.
“I am grateful to Howard Jonas and IDT for the opportunity to invest in this important initiative,” Lord Rothschild said. “Rupert Murdoch’s extraordinary achievements speak for themselves and we are very pleased he has agreed to be our partner. GENIE Energy is making good technological progress to TAP the WORLD’$ SUBSTANTIAL OIL shale DEPOSITS
WHICH COULD TRANSFORM the FUTURE PRO$PECT$ of I$RAEL, the MIDDLE EAST & OUR AL-LIE$ around the world.” 
For Israel to seek TO EXPLOIT MINERAL RESOURCES IN The OCCUPIED GOLAN IS PLAINLY ILLEGAL in INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Japan was succesfully sued by Singapore before the INTERNATIONAL COURT of JUSTICE for exploitation of Singapore’s oil resources during the second world war. The argument has been made in international law that an occupying power is entitled to opeate oil wells which were previously functioning and operated by the sovereign power, in whose position the occupying power now stands.
But there is absolutely no disagreement in the authorities and case law that THE DRILLING of NEW WELLS – LET ALONE FRACKING- BY AN OCCUPYING POWER I$ ILLEGAL.
I$RAEL TRIED to MAKE the $AME MOVE TWENTY YEARS AGO
but WAS FORCED to BACK DOWN after a STRONG REACTION FROM The SYRIAN GOVERNMENT, which gained diplomatic support from the United States. I$RAEL I$ NOW $EEKING to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the WEAKENED SYRIAN STATE; THI$ MOVE perhaps CA$T$ a NEW LIGHT on RECENT I$RAELI BOMBING$ in Syria.
In a rational world, the involvement of ROTH$CHILD & MURDOCH in this INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY would show them not to be fit and proper persons to hold major commercial interests elsewhere, and action would be taken. Naturally, nothing of the kind will happen.

Rothschild, Murdoch, Cheney & the Genie of $TOLEN SYRIAN OIL
September 14th 2015
What do Syria, NEW JERSEY, Lord Jacob ROTH$CHILD, and former Governor of New Mexico BILL RICHARD$ON have in common?
What do Rothschild, MURDOCH, CHENEY, SYRIA, and I$RAEL Have in Common?
Besides sounding like the introduction to a wince-worthy conspiracy quip, the most elementary answer is also nauseatingly cliche as an explanation for the penchant the U.S. government displays for inserting itself in the domestic affairs of nearly every country in the Middle East:
ROTH$CHILD’$ GENIE
AFEK….a SUBSIDIARY of NEW JERSEY-based GENIE Energy, Ltd., ANNOUNCED the DISCOVERY of a LARGE liquid OIL RESERVOIR and requested an extension of its exploration license for areas IN “NORTHERN I$RAEL.”
After having spent over three years in active exploration from the time initial hydrocarbon measurements and geological tests hinted at the presence of such a reserve, Afek’s discovery might have been welcome news all around — were it not contentiously located within I$RAELI OCCUPIED SYRIA, in the region known as the Golan Heights.
“Initial findings from the drilling confirm the discovery of an oil reservoir in the Golan and further justifies continuing the exploration program,” stated Afek’s request. “We need more time for this.”
While Israel and Afek might dismissively refer to Syria’s Golan Heights as Northern Israel in documentation, INTERNATIONAL LAW …DEFINITIVELY
…MARKS the REGION AS OCCUPIED by FOREIGN FORCES — MAKING the U.S. COMPANY’$
controversial OIL EXPLORATION…ARROGANTLY HEGEMONIC, AS WELL AS ILLEGAL.
Taking full advantage of the public announcement about the findings, the next day Genie Oil and Gas proceeded to publicize the names of new appointees who will join the eyebrow-raising Rupert Murdoch, Dick Cheney, and Lord Jacob Rothschild on the Strategic Advisory Board (SAB). Those members are:
Dr. Lawrence Summers, 71st Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton and Director of the National Economic Council under Pres. Obama; former Louisiana SENATOR MARY LANDRIEU, who I$ CREDITED with HELPING PA$$ the U.S.-Israel ENERGY COOPERATION BILL while she chaired the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; former governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, who became an industry insider after serving as the Clinton administration’s Energy Secretary; and former Director of Central Intelligence, R. James WOOL$EY who Co-FOUNDED the U.S. ENERGY SECURITY COUNCIL.
Still more controversially, CHAIRMAN of GENIE I$RAEL HOLDING$, Ltd. — FORMER KNE$$ET MEMBER Efraim “Effie” Eitam…
who SERVED AS MINISTER of both National Infrastructure as well as Housing and Construction — wouldn’t seem to be a desirable associate.
HI$ OPINION on I$RAEL’$ IMPERATIVE MI$$ION – delivered during a soldier’s memorial service in 2006 — drew the ire of thousands.
HE A$$ERTED I$RAEL WOULD HAVE TO:
“EXPEL MOST of the JUDEA and SAMARIA ARABS from here.
WE CANNOT BE WITH ALL THESE ARABS…AND…WE CANNOT GIVE UP the LAND, BECAUSE WE HAVE already SEEN WHAT THEY DO THERE.
SOME of them MAY BE ABLE to STAY under certain conditions, BUT MOST of them WILL HAVE to GO.
We will have to make ANOTHER DECI$ION, to REMOVE the I$RAELI ARABS FROM the POLITICAL SYSTEM.
Also here THING$ ARE clear and $IMPLE: WE HAVE RAISED a fifth column, A GRUOP of TRAITOR$ of the first degree, and therefore WE CANNOT continue to APPROVE SUCH a HO$TILE and great PRESENCE INSIDE I$RAEL’$ political system.”
I$RAEL might have garnered the support and sympathy befitting outside perception of THE MANUFACTURED NATION as an ostensible underdog intent only on survival — at least at one time. PATIENCE and TOLERANCE for I$RAEL’$ $ELF-INTERE$Ted ACTion$ — the latest being the nation’s refusal of assistance in the Syrian refugee crisis — ARE WEARING THIN, even among its staunchest backers.
Considering I$RAEL’$ well-documented HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES and HEGEMONIC TENDENCIE$, that it has escaped sanctions thus far seems inexplicable.
In the meantime, an effective movement known as BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction) — called for in 2005 by PALESTINIANS DETERMINED to SEE I$RAEL HELD ACCOUNTABLE to INTERNATIONAL LAW and basic human rights — has rapidly GAINED MOMENTUM worldwide. Continuing to do business as usual with Israel might leave the U.S. holding a hot potato.
