JINSA Blames Iran for Hamas’ Glorified Bottle Rockets

Friday, Jan 2, 2008
On December 29, Yahoo Finance posted a JINSA press release making the absurd claim that Iran is facilitating Hamas rocket attacks on Israel. “The role of Iran in the training and buildup of the Hamas arsenal has been regrettably overlooked by the world’s media and many of its political leaders,” said Tom Neumann, executive director of JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. “Hamas’s rocket attacks have become longer range and more lethal as a result of Iranian assistance and training,” he said.
As William O. Beeman argued on December 29, this claim is nothing short of preposterous. “No one promulgating the theory that Hamas’s attacks on Israel are directed by Iran bothers to think much about geography. Hamas has been effectively sealed off from the world by Israel, and by Egypt,” writes Beeman. “The Israelis have essentially controlled the import of food and medical supplies. The idea of Iran shipping arms to Hamas under these conditions is patently absurd. The rockets launched against Israel that started the current conflict were clearly homemade, low-level weapons, not sophisticated arms.”
Hamas’ rockets are “little more than slingshots against Israel’s incredible military might, and they’re used out of desperation by Palestinians who’ve never been accorded the democratic space within which to gain redress of their eminently just grievances,” explains Dennis Rahkonen. “Conscientious Israelis acknowledge that the Hamas rockets rationale is fraudulent.” He cites Jerusalem Post writer Larry Derfner, who writes that the ” [Palestinian] Kassam [rockets] have terrorized the 25,000 people in Sderot and its environs, but have caused very, very few deaths or serious wounds. By contrast, Israel has terrorized 1.5 million Gazans, locked them inside their awfully narrow borders, throttled their economy, and killed and seriously wounded thousands of them.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
JINSA’s press release is simply a continuation of the neocon and Likudnik effort to ramp up public support for an attack on Iran. JINSA’s board of advisers includes Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, John Bolton, Douglas Feith, and Dick Cheney — the people who brought us the Iraq invasion and occupation. JINSA operatives are ensconced in the Pentagon, the Naval Academy, the Military Academy at West Point, and the Air Force Academy. The 501(c)(3) organization describes itself as “the most influential group on the issue of U.S.-Israel military relations,” that is to say it is influential in pushing an agenda that has thus far resulted in the murder of a million and a half Iraqis.
JINSA operatives work from within the military-industrial complex. According to The Nation writer Jason Vest (The Men From JINSA and CSP), Leon Edney, David Jeremiah, and Charles May, all retired U.S. military officers, have been consultants to Northrop Grumman, which has built Israeli ships and planes. JINSA advisers May, Paul Cerjan, and Carlisle Trost have also worked for Lockheed Martin, which has sold F-16s, flight simulators, and rocket systems to Israel. Trost has served as a member of the board of General Dynamics, whose subsidiary Gulfstream has a $206 million contract with the Pentagon
“Over the past 25 years, pro-Israel forces have established a commanding presence at the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, the Center for Security Policy, the Foreign Policy Research Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute, the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis, and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). These think tanks are decidedly pro-Israel, and include few, if any, critics of U.S. support for the Jewish state,” Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer wrote in their 2006 paper “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.”
As The Forward reported on December 19, the in-coming Obama administration is receptive to JINSA demands. “In their first meeting with Jewish leaders Thursday, the Obama transition team proved that change is indeed on its way. For the first time in years, a full spectrum of Jewish groups sat around one table for a lengthy, detailed and civilized discussion about the future,” Nathan Guttman wrote. Representatives included the “hawkish ZOA and JINSA.” ZOA, short for the Zionist Organization of America, is specifically tasked with attacking critics of Israel nominated for important government positions and regularly ships off activists to Israel for leadership training programs.
JINSA and its neocon and Likudnik operatives may have engaged in a “civilized discussion about the future” with the Obama transition team, but its agenda is anything but civilized. The Obama administration will continue the Bush legacy of allowing Israel to slaughter the Palestinians and paying them handsomely to do so. Since 1979 and the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty — no peace for the Palestinians, however — Israel has annually received up to $3 billion in aid.
It will be business as usual for JINSA after Obama takes office. Attacking Iran remains squarely on the table. In the meantime, the corporate media will continue to make excuses for Israel’s savage bombardment of Gaza, depicting Hamas’ pathetic and glorified bottle rockets as an existential threat to Israel, a state armed to the teeth with the latest U.S. mass murder technology.

Sir, I am about as anti zionist as anyone. But I do not want to see a single “JEWS HEBREWS AND ZIONISTS” have the slightest harm come to them. I am just fed up with the actions of the zionist directed towards arabs and muslims. And I am sick of there influence on our government. Up until a couple of years ago, I was a “lets just nuke the whole place and turn it into a parking lot” type. But I came to realize that I was one of the bad guys. I had to put away my tribal impulses that supported us vs them, and started supporting right vs wrong. I am not saying that the muslims are perfectly innocent, but they are indeed being treated unfairly and I would like to see it stop. And I repeat that I don’t wish harm on a single jew.

I agree, #2. I think you have said it perfectly.

Sick of zioclowns.

ISLAM WANTS TO CONVERT EVERY ONE THE JEWS HEBREWS WANT THE WORLD AND AMERICA IS LEADING THE WAY.I DO NOT FEEL HATE TOWARDS ANY ONE BUT IF BY CHANCE I CAN HELP TO STOP THE ATROCITIES FOR A BETTER TOMORROW FOR MY CHILDREN THEN I WILL TRY IF A GOD IS ON MY SIDE OR NOT BECUASE I DO NOT FEAR ETERNAL DAMNATION IF IT MAKES 1 DAY BETTER

Hear is a very disappointing article which explains that the truck carrying “grad missiles” that the IAF bombed was only a welding truck used by a welder. Also killed were a bunch of his children.

John Kent:
Muslims may not be the most friendly and respectful people in the world, but they don’t actively go around forcing people to convert. With some exceptions, the pre-colonial Muslim world was relatively calm. When we blame Muslims for extremism, we have to look toward the globalists who lit this fire, not the ignorant masses in the Middle East who don’t know any better.
Israel is an extremely wicked country and most Jews are too. With that being said, I have to agree with Sick of Zioclowns, I don’t want them hurt either.
As for the article, I wish Iran would help the Palestinians, they might be able to shoot down some of those planes and stop any a ground assult dead in its tracks. Bullies don’t like it when someone can fight back.

Apartheid Israel must end now!

John Kent:
Sure, I know Islam is a way of life and sure, they have no problems lying. Other than trying to set up some shiria (sp?) law in parts of Europe, they don’t go around forcing people to convery. Our immigrant scum (from south of the border) try to bring their filthy, third world life here too. They may take over some town or city, but they don’t force everyone to speak Spanish. It is common for cultures who come into a new area to want to create a small version of their home, the Chinese do it everywhere.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:38 am
JOHN KENT you can go to the front lines if you really want to. What prevents you from getting to Gaza and helping the down trodden Hamas fighters? The front lines are not in the USA! You say that only because it gives you an excuse to just “talk” and not be responsible for action. Let’s jus say that the front lines were in the USA what are you doing to help the Palistinians in the US? I’ll bet nothing. You are just a bag of wind and a coward. You want to help? Get off your duff, get on a plane and get yourself to Gaza, if you dare.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:53 am
i would love to just need millions of dumb americans to fund my war .coward no, i have done my tour of iraq thank you.the cowards are ones hiding in the shadows

A message for the Saudi Run Kurt Nimmo.
Kurt – how about you go to Israel and have these ROCKETS shot at YOU DAILY?!
How about bringing the kids, and having them go into shock daily and have
epileptic fits from it, and not be able to go without diapers, and not sleep and
not be able to go outside to play and have to live in a bomb shelter all the time,
and SLEEP in a bomb shelter all the time?! Why don’t YOU go and get shot at
while YOU are farming?! Why don’t YOU live your life with Muslims throwing
rocks and fire-bombs at you and your car?! Why don’t YOU go see the large
palaces built by the NWO Aristocracy in the PA and in GAZA?! Why don’t YOU
go and see how Hamas and Fatah are the ones, and how Egypt and the rest
of the Arab Muslim States and UNWRA are the ones keeping the regular Gaza
and PA people down?! Why don’t YOU walk into an Israeli hospital and see how
the Israeli Jewish people are helping the hurt Arab/Muslims even as they are
trying to kill the Jewish people?! Why don’t YOU Kurt go and see how aid,
and gasoline, and oil, and food, and electricity are actually being SUPPLIED
to Gaza BY Israel even as Hamas and all the Terrorists there are trying to kill
the Jewish people in Israel daily? Maybe you’ll even get lucky and be in the
restaurant or bus that the next suicide bomber blows themselves up in!
Oh, but then you wouldn’t be able to write any more of your one-sided
Saudi NWO inspired piece of garbage articles… Wouldn’t THAT be too
bad.
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:31 am
As much as i am sickened by the nazi like actions of Israels pogroms
The lack of understanding and pro slaughter propaganda posted by some of the braindead
leave me speechless
Iran is next and this is the warm up for the clinically insane elite to mesmerize the sheeple
It gets alot worse before it gets better but i do wonder how many will be slaughtered
until the mass awakening
May great spirit quicken the pace
peace love and light brothers and sisters

@ John Kent,
No point in wasting your wisdom on a bunch of jew gatekeepers that have almostly totally infested this comment site as they obviously don’t respect free opinions or intelligence.

Blame the profiteers, not Iran.
When you see such madness; when you see pointless, perpetual violence; look for the profit motive. Someone has a clear and pressing motive for the violence to continue. Except for very rare psychotic people, no one likes the mortal violence that keeps occurring in Gaza. People, left alone, settle their differences so as to preserve their lives and offspring – except when another party continues to incite violence.
Look for whoever has a motive in this madness.
A good place to start is the arms manufacturers that supply the Israelis. Another good place to look is those in the financial sector that have investments tied to the military industrial complex in the U.S.
Those that hold sway over the direction and action of our nations are plainly benefited by war and disarray If we continue to leave them in power, our children and grandchildren will suffer greatly.
Criminals run your society and all you have to do to dissolve their power is to stop using their money. The money is the control mechanism that keeps all of us economically enslaved. When we stop using the currency that they supply to us, the Federal Reserve will dissolve and the politicians they employ will be out of a job.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Lets get Bush and Cheney , its there fault , cheney has been sneeking into gaza and firing those rockets. I saw his wife in the hobby shop buying EVERY estes rocket. Alex called me and wants me on the show to tell all 3 of his audience what i saw!
January 2nd, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Shirley you must be kidding, what your name’s not shirley. Well every one knows that iran would NEVER do anything to hurt it’s good friend Israel. i’m sure that as the article says that everything is locked up so tight that nothing is getting in or out so those rockets must be being made by mussilm holy men out of thin air and a lotta prayer – no wait it’s all a figment of our collective imagination – no wait it’s those evil nasty jews sneaking in & targeting themselvs, i mean it’s not like iran would ever lie about a thing like that, they have no ill will towards israel at all. Anyone with any level of intelegence can plainly see that iran has never instigated any trouble in that region or any other for that matter. They are just a friendly little group of murdering, thieving, lying, bloodthirsty, shiftless, arogant, selfabsorbed, psychopathic, delusional, craven, cowardly, jealous minded mussilim’s that want to destroy the world if it wont convert. No need to keep an eye on them at all!!…

both sides of this war are wrong. its very much an unending pissing contest between two groups of people who despise one another. Our biggest mistake was to take sides in this.

It’s time to let the Middle East countries kill each other to the end.
January 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 am
“It’s time to let the Middle East countries kill each other to the end.”
The problem is it could easily spark a world war, if the united states followed strict non-intervention policy it would not be such a problem.
January 3rd, 2009 at 4:27 am
TIME TO STAND-UP & BE COUNTED FOLKS. LET’S WIN THIS INFOWAR THAT WE’RE IN !!!

January 4th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
John Kent stop spreading lies about Islam. Are you govt. ops.? One of the most TOLERANT rulers was CYRUS THE GREAT who allowed jews, muslims and christians to live in harmony. Don’t pretend to be some expert on Islam like Jason ugly Seickman. You’re both spreaders of disinformation. Fuck off
