The Bush Admin takes it's cues from some interesting special interest groups in the war against Palestine (photo: leading republican zionist and Dick Cheney)

Who Has the Bush Admin's Ear in the War Against Palestine?

some leading personalities among Washington Insiders that are also leading zionists, some of whom will be participating in the American Israel Political Affairs Committee Conference (http://www.aipac.org) in Washington, DC on April 19th-22nd. More information for background on upcoming protests against the leading Israeli lobby in DC that weekend. Info on the protests, http://www.sustaincampaign.org (under intermittent denial of service attacks from Israel).


Within the Republican party there is a well connected group of zionist republicans, comprised largely of corporate globalizers:

info http://www.rjchq.org/bios.html and http://www.rjchq.org/bios2.html

some of whom sit on the American Jewish Committee which espouses racist and xenophobic informaton about Islam and Muslims:

"…undoubtedly the greatest immediate threat to the well being of the American Jewish community and its interests stems from large-scale immigration from the Muslim world.

"At the risk of being labeled the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread, it must also be acknowledged that classic Islam itself, the traditional faith - and not the hideous political ideologies derived from it - is itself not unproblematic in its attitudes towards Jews, Christians, and other non-Muslims." reported at http://www.cair-net.org/asp/article.asp?articleid=694&articletype=1

Another group with dual representation among Republican Zionists is the JINSA, a reactionary military think tank dedicated to promoting Israeli militarization:

Their advisory board includes some of the leading war hawks that have called for a re-ignition in the war against Iraq, such as Eugene Rostow and notably, Richard Perle (http://www.jinsa.org/about/adboard/adboard.html?documentid=754).

Among other interesting issues in the Administration is the level and interaction of defense contractors with Israeli military-industrial interests. The chief person in charge of Defense contracts and spending is a zionist:

Dov Zakheim
Defense; Under Secretary for Comptroller
charged with overseeing the finances of the government's largest bureaucracy, Zakheim draws on his experience as corporate vice president of Systems Planning Corporation International, a major defense contractor which specializes in technology and research as well as political and military consulting. Zakheim also sits on the advisory board for Northrop Grumman, and counts among his clients Conexor and Saab Corporation. He was also an adjunct fellow for Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, a position that paid him slightly more than $10,000 to supplement his SPC International salary of more than $277,000.

An interesting look at who deals in the administration is it's connection to zionist Bush Pioneer Maurice Greenberg (http://www.tpj.org/pioneers/maurice_greenberg.html) as you look through administration financial holding you will repeatedly find members that have shares in Greenberg's AIG financial services group.

for a list of Bush administrators with holdings in financial services companies go to http://www.public-i.org/cgi-bin/WhosWhoSearch.asp?SortBy=Industry&Display=List

Among the industries that have the most sway are military contractors. Israel is one of only two non-NATO states to be allowed to compete with American companies for DOD contracts. Is it surprising that so many Department of Defense administrators would also have financial holding in companies led by zionist or be outright zionists themselves? Again people must ask the question is the latest round of hostilities about Israeli security or is it about the securities of rich zionists businessman that have no interest in the average lives of Israelis, and especially not those of Palestinians.
