| Israeli Mossad murdered 530 Iraqi scientists |
|
| 
Assassinations of Iraq academics in Iraq never existed prior to April 2003
|
Al-Jazeera, London 5/9/2006
Numerous reports for many months have
stated that with collaboration from American occupation forces,
Israel’s espionage apparatus, Mossad, slaughtered at least 530 Iraqi
scientists and academic professors.
Persistent Israeli hit squads against Iraqi scientists had been
active in Iraq since April 2003, but the latest chapter was uncovered
on Tuesday, 14 June 2005 by the Palestine Information Center
which, citing a report compiled by the United States Department of
State and intended for the American President, stated that Israeli and
foreign agents sent by Mossad, in cooperation with United States, to
Iraq, killed at least 350 Iraqi scientists and more than 200 university
professors and academic personalities .
According to the
report, which was referred to the U.S. president George W. Bush, Mossad
agents had been operating in Iraq with the aim of liquidating Iraqi
nuclear and biology scientists, among other scientists, and prominent
university professors.
That was after the U.S. failed to persuade those scientists to cooperate with or work for it.
"Israeli commandos had been operating on Iraqi territory for more
than a year, the focus of their activities being the assassination of
Iraqi scientists and intellectuals. The Zionists resorted to the
large-scale assassination campaign after the failure of American
efforts that started immediately after the American occupation of Iraq,
aimed at attracting a number of Iraqi scientists to cooperate and go to
work in the United States,” The Palestine Information Center quoted the report as saying.
"Some Iraqi scientists were forced to work in American research
centers; however, the majority of them refused to cooperate in certain
fields and fled the U.S. to other countries", it further stated.
The Pentagon agreed with the suggestion of Mossad, which believed
that the best way to get rid of those scientists was to "physically
eliminate them".
The American security service provided Israel with complete
biographies on the Iraqi scientists and academics to facilitate killing
them, the report said, adding that the Mossad campaign targeting Iraqi
scientists is still underway.
- Below
is a presentation by Dr Ismail Jalili titled “Plight of Iraqi
Academics”, in which he details Mossad crimes against the Iraqi
scientists.
The presentation was made during Madrid International Conference on the Assassinations of Iraqi Academics on 23-24 April 2006.
Dr. Jalili notes that:
-
Many assassination attempts resulted in the death of other family
members and escorts which have not been included or referred to in this
study.
- Multiple assassination attempts are ongoing.
- Repeated threats to life are made to force people to leave Iraq.
- Considerable numbers of threats to life go unreported.
- In the last week of April 2006, a mass campaign was reported in Mosul of threats to doctors calling on them to leave Iraq.
- Assassinations of Iraq academics is a new phenomena in Iraq, that never existed prior to April 2003.
- The pattern indicates a sinister campaign and motives.
-
The assassinations, kidnaps and threats to life forcing academics and
doctors to leave Iraq do not follow any religious or sectarian pattern.
- The only dominant pattern is that the absolute majority of victims are ethnically Arabs.
The presentation affirms the following:
-
The defence of Iraqi academics and medical professionals should begin
by condemning the illegal war and occupation that created the situation
in Iraq where assassinations are endemic and go unpunished.
-
Occupying powers and their collaborators are responsible for the
protection of the lives of Iraqi civilians and imputable under
international law for the failure to do so.
-
The assassination of Iraqi academics and health professionals is part
of a conscious attempt to prevent Iraq from regaining its just
independent and sovereign status.
-
Defending Iraqi academics and health professionals is not separate from
the necessity of being in solidarity with the Iraqi people and their
national anti-occupation movement.
-
Iraqis, like all people, have a right to science and education and to
enjoy the inalienable rights of freedom of thought, expression,
research and innovation.
-
The right of families of assassinated health professionals and
academics to have the killing of their loved ones investigated by an
independent and competent body, and compensation paid, must be assured
in all cases.
Delegates
who attended the seminar reaffirmed their commitment to work with
determination to raise at all levels the issue of the criminal
destruction of Iraq’s professional and intellectual wealth.
In particular, delegations committed to:
- Demand that UNESCO act in defence of Iraq’s intellectuals and professionals.
-
Demand that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
fulfill its duty to protect the lives and human rights of Iraqi doctors
and academics, and all Iraqi civilians.
-
Spread awareness of the issue of the assassination of Iraqi academics
and doctors with the appreciated commitment of Autonomous University.
-
Madrid to transmit the key concerns of this campaign to Spanish
universities, the International Federation of Universities and the
Association of Arab Universities of the Arab League.
-
Call upon the world’s media to understand that the killing of Iraqi
academics and health professionals is a result of the occupation, not
sectarian civil war.
-
Continue working to build an international solidarity campaign linking
Iraqi academics in exile and in Iraq with their peers in universities
worldwide.
-
Press national and regional parliaments to raise and discuss the
criminal destruction of Iraq’s intellectual and professional class.
-
The undersigned affirm that they will continue to cooperate in their
denunciation of the occupation and its numberless crimes and always
stand in solidarity with the people of Iraq. | |

TARGET IRAN!
(May 31, 2006)
BUT using the newest high-tech precision bombing to destroy Iran's growing capabilities and subverting/infiltrating the country to either take it over or neutralize it one way or another...now that's another matter. And that in fact is what Bush/Cheney and the Neocon/Evangelicals have the Pentagon and CIA working overtime to undertake. And that is why the Israeli Ambassador at the United Nations actually proclaimed in public yesterday that World War III has already started.
The Neoconization of America
(May 30, 2006)
This column from the pages of the LATimes over the weekend at least begins to examine what has happened to the collective USA and both of the major parties in what let's charitably call 'world outlook'. And those with an all-important Washington memory can recall that the 'Prince of Darkness' himsself, Richard Perle, got his start on Capitol Hill as foreign policy assistant to one of the most prominent Democrats of yesteryear, 'Scoop' Jackson.
Apocalypse Now - 2006
(May 29, 2006)
How appropriate on the American Memorial Day to loudly and eloquently be warned that all so many have fought and died for is now terribly endangered -- put at risk in fact as never before by the very officials with the flags in their lapels ad nauseum proclaiming their patriotism while more than ever endangering their countries future and indeed the entire world.
Pushing and Preparing the Palestinians for Civil War
(May 28, 2006)
The goal now is Plan B -- to foment a Palestinian civil war attempting to mask the imposition of worse-than-Apartheid realities on the now seriously fragmented and far more destitute Palestinians. In the process the Hamas Palestinians have been pushed into alignment with Iran and Syria along with the Arab nationalist and Islamic forces that continue to hold out against U.S.-Israeli hegemony -- the 'new world order' promoted by the Zionist Neocon minions who still hold Washington in their grip, albeit less firmly than before the Iraqi debacle.
'The Israel Problem' - Dangerously Out Of Control More Than Ever
(May 27, 2006)
Largely because of powerful 'Israel Lobby' efforts by Kissinger and subsequent Administrations have all failed and 'The Israel Problem' has not only horribly metasticized but is more negatively consequential and more dangerously out of control than ever.
ISRAELIS Further Expand, Wall In, Divide and Rule
(May 23, 2006)
This is the map experts now believe the Israelis are trying to create. By doing so they not only expand considerably beyond the 1967 boundaries but they keep and fortify the bulk of settlements built since '67 and at the same time they institutionalize a novel kind of Middle East militarily-controlled apartheid upon the Palestinians -- a situation unknown anywhere else in the Middle East or indeed in the world.
Propaganda War - US and Israel still far in lead
(May 20, 2006)
The PROPAGANDA WAR is a major aspect of what may yet prove to be only the opening phases of the 'Clash of Civilizations' -- one the Israelis are more responsible for than any other party other than the Americans.
Palestinian Civil War Looms Closer Than Ever
(May 18, 2006)
Mahmoud Abbas is traveling here and there around the world essentially lining up money, guns, and clandestine support his largely corrupt and discredited 'Fateh' faction of the Palestinian movement. This as the Israelis, always of course with considerable American help and involvement, are pushing hard for the Palestinian civil war they have wanted, but failed until now, to be able to ignite.
TARGET IRAN - READY AND WAITING
(May 17, 2006)
U.S. and Israeli military 'exercises' have been underway, both announced and no doubt unannounced. Clandestine U.S. and Israel special forces, along with CIA and Mossad operatives, are on both sides of Iran in Afghanistan and Iraq, and probably operating clandestinely in Iran as well. Top Jewish American Neocons long associated with Israel have publicly proclaimed Iran could be successful bombed 'in just one night'. Last week Israel's senior 'statesman', Shimon Peres, proclaimed that 'Iran too can be wiped off the map'. And yesterday this from The Herald in Scotland:
WORLD JIHAD 'TSUNAMI' HYPED BY ISRAELIS
(May 16, 2006)
"An impending world jihad 'tsunami'... may
soon descend on the entire Middle East."
US Readies for Iran
(May 13, 2006)
"Let us face the truth, Just like Iraq, all the talk about Iranian nuclear activities is a smoke screen for something else. The most likely answer is a combination of the United States strategic interest in oil, containment of China and Israeli interest. But in 2006 governments are understandably shy about mentioning neo-colonialism and greed as the reasons for invading other countries."
Jewish-Israeli Lobby Nervous in Washington
(May 12, 2006)
The Jewish-Israel Lobby is showing increased signs of nervousness and insecurity in Washington, as this article from THE FORWARD demonstrates. This in the aftermath of the spy scandal in which two of the most senior AIPAC personnel are no trial and 'The Israel Lobby' paper published by Professors John Mearshimer at the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt at Harvard in The London Review of Books.
Israeli-Jewish Lobby Increasingly Nervous in Washington
(May 12, 2006)
The Jewish-Israel Lobby is showing increased signs of nervousness and insecurity in Washington, as this article from THE FORWARD demonstrates.

Israelis With U.S. Help Slaughter Hundreds of Iraqi Scientists and Professors
(May 10, 2006)
Numerous reports for many months have stated that with collaboration from American occupation forces, Israel’s espionage apparatus, Mossad, slaughtered at least 530 Iraqi scientists and academic professors.
Assassination Plot of Palestinian President Say Israelis
(May 7, 2006)
Whether true or not, the Israelis have long wanted to provoke a Palestinian civil war, and now they are closer to their goal than ever, especially with the White House and Congress on board in the USA more than ever, and the confused and insecure CIA in chaos. This report should be taken with extra skepticism in view of how quickly the Israelis rushed it into the headlines.
'The Israel Lobby' - Part II
(May 5, 2006)
They unleashed a most unusual political, as well as academic and intellectual, firestory with their 'The Israel Lobby' article published in March in The London Review of Books. And we now know that the article was actually commissioned by and then rejected for publication in New York by The Atlantic -- formerly The Atlantic Monthly before the cut-back in publishing schedule. Rather hypocritically for a magazine supposed to stand for serious journalism, open debate and freedom of the press The Atlantic has nevertheless clamped a 'No Comment Top Secret' stamp on this whole episode and somehow convinced the Professors to do so as well. But the issue and the debate, so vital actually to Americans, does non-the-less continue in The London Review of Books where this follow-up letter appears in the current just published issue:
Israel's Disaster - Past and Present
(May 4, 2006)
Finally top American academics from leading American universities have joined the contemporary political scene. If their insights and concerns are brushed aside -- as the politicians and the special interest groups keep attempting -- the perils we all now face partly because of their long past absence from the real-time policy debate will only increase. Credit the Iraq war for stirring things up so....credit a backlash against the hardline Zionist Neocons and the far-out Christian Evangelicals...credit a new sense of involvement and 'activisim' from segments of the intellectual community. But whether this is truly a new day is yet to be seen.
