capitals'

Thanks to Judy for turning up a link to this professor's startlingly
unrestrained remarks.  A shocking thought for most Americans and Europeans,
the prospect of Israeli WMD's targeting Europe -- but likely not for
Israel's neighbors and the Islamic world.

I dug up some interesting facts regarding US aid to Israel:

"There are at least three ways in which aid to Israel is different from
that of any other country. First, since 1982, U.S. aid to Israel has been
transferred in one lump sum at the beginning of each fiscal year, which
immediately begins to collect interest in U.S. banks. Aid that goes to
other countries is disbursed throughout the year in quarterly installments.

Second, Israel is not required to account for specific purchases. Most
countries receive aid for very specific purposes and must account for how
it is spent. Israel is allowed to place US aid into its general fund,
effectively eliminating any distinctions between types of aid. Therefore,
U.S. tax-payers are helping to fund an illegal occupation, the expansion of
colonial-settlement projects, and gross human rights violations against the
Palestinian civilian population.

A third difference is the sheer amount of aid the U.S. gives to Israel,
unparalleled in the history of U.S. foreign policy. Israel usually receives
roughly one third of the entire foreign aid budget, despite the fact that
Israel comprises less than .001 of the world's population and already has
one of the world's higher per capita incomes. In other words, Israel, a
country of approximately 6 million people, is currently receiving more U.S.
aid than all of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined when you
take out Egypt and Colombia."

Anyone care to argue that our Middle East policy is even-handed and

Israeli professor says 'We could destroy all European capitals'

Occupied Jerusalem: 1 February, 2003 (IAP News)

An Israeli professor and military historian hinted that Israel could avenge
the holocaust by annihilating millions of Germans and other Europeans.

Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem Friday,
Professor Martin Van Crevel said Israel had the capability of hitting most
European capitals with nuclear weapons.

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them
at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals
are targets of our air force."

Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, pointed out that "collective deportation" was Israel's only
meaningful strategy towards the Palestinian people.

"The Palestinians should all be deported. The people who strive for this
(the Israeli government) are waiting only for the right man and the right
time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis were of the opinion
that this would be the best solution, two months ago it was 33 per cent,
and now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent."

Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to
deport the Palestinians.

"I think it's quite possible that he wants to do that. He wants to escalate
the conflict. He knows that nothing else we do will succeed."

Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rouge state if it carried
out a genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld quoted former
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who said "Israel must be like a mad
dog, too dangerous to bother."

Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming a rouge state.

"Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather
the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us.
And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under."
