Please pass this on, the most important action you can take
EVER!!!! How can you stop your hard earned tax dollars from going
to israel??? The amount of funding the United States gives Israel
each year is more per capita than the tax refund U.S. citizens
got this year. Each year since 1948 we have been giving Israel
over 2 billion dollars a year in grants and military equipment so
they can continue their brutal occupation and apartheid. That's
about $680,000 an hour--non-refundable! If you think this money
could be better used for American health care, schools, and
spending, President Bush has a comment line. And he wants to hear
from you! If you think that the amount of money we give to Israel
is unreasonable,please call the White House at (202) 456-1414 to
ask them to stop. Dial this number and follow the instructions to
leave a comment. You must call between 9 & 4 pm EDT. You may
also be asked if you favor the establishment of a Palestinian
State.The only way there will be lasting peace in the Middle East
is through the creation of the State of Palestine. You guys know
what to do--let's stop the insanity...NOW!!!! all the best,

Hello everyone! Please take a moment to send a similar
letter to FOX news, which for once, did, something courageous and
worthy of support in their 4 part series on Israeli espionage in
the US. They are probably being flooded with negative mail from
the Israeli lobby, so it is very important they receive some sort
of support in acknowledgement for their news piece in our favor.
Simply cut and paste the e-mail addresses below & send your
own personal note. special@foxnews.com

Today's vote in the UN is another blow to the Arab
leadership. Time and time again the US veto's a UN resolution
that is supported by the entire world and yet those Arab deadbeat
Governments keep going back to this useless UN organization.
Can't those clowns get the message that this approach does not
work and try a different approach. This is nothing but a proof
that the Palestinian problem is an Arab leadership problem and
there is no one to blame but those clowns. For all Palestinians
keep up the struggle and soon justice will prevail.

Cameron!!!!!! ________________________________ TRANSCRIPT:
___________________________ BRIT HUME, HOST: It has been more
than 16 years since a civilian working for the Navy was charged
with passing secrets to Israel. Jonathan Pollard pled guilty to
conspiracy to commit espionage and is serving a life sentence. At
first, Israeli leaders claimed Pollard was part of a rogue
operation, but later took responsibility for his work. Now Fox
News has learned some U.S. investigators believe that there are
Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S.,
who may have known things they didn't tell us before September
11. Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron has details in the first
of a four-part series. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS
CORRESPONDENT: Since September 11, more than 60 Israelis have
been arrested or detained, either under the new patriot
anti-terrorism law, or for immigration violations. A handful of
active Israeli military were among those detained, according to
investigators, who say some of the detainees also failed
polygraph questions when asked about alleged surveillance
activities against and in the United States. There is no
indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks,
but investigators suspect that they Israelis may have gathered
intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it. A
highly placed investigator said there are "tie-ins."
But when asked for details, he flatly refused to describe them,
saying, "evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is
classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been
gathered. It's classified information." Fox News has learned
that one group of Israelis, spotted in North Carolina recently,
is suspected of keeping an apartment in California to spy on a
group of Arabs who the United States is also investigating for
links to terrorism. Numerous classified documents obtained by Fox
News indicate that even prior to September 11, as many as 140
other Israelis had been detained or arrested in a secretive and
sprawling investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in
the United States. Investigators from numerous government
agencies are part of a working group that's been compiling
evidence since the mid '90s. These documents detail hundreds of
incidents in cities and towns across the country that
investigators say, "may well be an organized intelligence
gathering activity." The first part of the investigation
focuses on Israelis who say they are art students from the
University of Jerusalem and Bazala Academy. They repeatedly made
contact with U.S. government personnel, the report says, by
saying they wanted to sell cheap art or handiwork. Documents say
they, "targeted and penetrated military bases." The
DEA, FBI and dozens of government facilities, and even secret
offices and unlisted private homes of law enforcement and
intelligence personnel. The majority of those questioned,
"stated they served in military intelligence, electronic
surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units."
Another part of the investigation has resulted in the detention
and arrests of dozens of Israelis at American mall kiosks, where
they've been selling toys called Puzzle Car and Zoom Copter.
Investigators suspect a front. Shortly after The New York Times
and Washington Post reported the Israeli detentions last months,
the carts began vanishing. Zoom Copter's Web page says, "We
are aware of the situation caused by thousands of mall carts
being closed at the last minute. This in no way reflects the
quality of the toy or its salability. The problem lies in the
operators' business policies." Why would Israelis spy in and
on the U.S.? A general accounting office investigation referred
to Israel as country A and said, "According to a U.S.
intelligence agency, the government of country A conducts the
most aggressive espionage operations against the U.S. of any U.S.
ally." A defense intelligence report said Israel has a
voracious appetite for information and said, "the Israelis
are motivated by strong survival instincts which dictate every
possible facet of their political and economical policies. It
aggressively collects military and industrial technology and the
U.S. is a high priority target." The document concludes:
"Israel possesses the resources and technical capability to
achieve its collection objectives." (END VIDEO CLIP) A
spokesman for the Israeli embassy here in Washington issued a
denial saying that any suggestion that Israelis are spying in or
on the U.S. is "simply not true." There are other
things to consider. And in the days ahead, we'll take a look at
the U.S. phone system and law enforcement's methods for wiretaps.
And an investigation that both have been compromised by our
friends overseas. HUME: Carl, what about this question of
advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on 9-11? How clear
are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known
something? CAMERON: It's very explosive information, obviously,
and there's a great deal of evidence that they say they have
collected ÿ none of it necessarily conclusive. It's more when
they put it all together. A bigger question, they say, is how
could they not have know? Almost a direct quote. HUME: Going into
the fact that they were spying on some Arabs, right? CAMERON:
Correct. HUME: All right, Carl, thanks very much.

The Bush Administration has frozen the assets and has
confiscated the records of the largest Muslim Charity in the
United States, the Holy Land Foundation. That charity collected
Zakat and Sadakat money and diverted them to needy people in
Palestine. Therefore, you are urged to please sign the petition
listed below demanding that the U.S. government reverse its

Hey Guys! Thanks for voting in the CNN poll--you all rock!
Now, here's another action item. Every single congressman and
senator voted to express soidarity with Israel in the "war
against terrorism" However, 11 of them voted against that,
and they deserve our thanks. I called all 11 and thanked them
from my cell phone during my morning commute and it only took me
about 15 minutes--you can do the same! Please call them and thank
them for being politicians of conscience, and that we destroy our

inflammatory resolutions. the names and numbers are: Neil

There is an Arab-American who is running for Congress and
he needs all of the support he can get. His name is Pete
(Butrous) Dagher and he lives in Chicago, Illinois. Please send a
campaign donation (even if it is small) to: Pete Dagher for
Congress, PO Box 34586, Chicago, IL 60634. We need more Arabs in
the Jewish-controlled Congress in order to reform it and clean
out all of the Zionist corruption which caused great havoc and
harm to the Arab people. I urge you to make a donation to help
Pete as well as any other Arab-American who is running. The Jews
have always supported their people with money and we should be
doing the same thing! LONG LIVE PALESTINE AND LONG LIVE THE ARAB

Sharon came to u.s and told Bush what to say.Being mad at
Bin Laden Bush swallowed the whole thing . Also Israel put out
their big guns to aequate the Hamas attack with 9/11 attack on
US.Hamas dont like Arafat yet the idf attacks Arafat and not
Hamas who then win twice...Sharon has been indicted before a
world court as a war criminal...yet no mention of that in US
press.We should spread the news...Also explain to the people u
work with that resistance to a 34 year occupation is not
terror,,,

Sharon has vowed revenge and war in retaliation for the
suicide attacks that took place over the weekend. Lets think
about this, over the past year he has used severe aggression and
brutality against the palestinians without a word of condemnation
from the US. In the past year, over 800 Palestinians have lost
their lives, innocent unarmed rock throwers. Now Sharon vowed war
against the Palestinians. What do you call what has been
practiced against the Palestinians over the last year? Hasnt it
been a war, an unjust war all along? It is a bad situation that
will only get worse. Sharon got the green light from President
Bush to do what he needs to do to defend Israel. This is Sharons
dream. How long will the arab world stay quiet? I predict there
will be severe consequences and no one will speak up. May God
bring peace to our war torn country...
