NOT A WORD ABOUT NATO IN LIBYA BY PAMELA GELLER AND ATLAS SHRUGS. GELLER HAS LOST IT ON THIS ISSUE. DITTO WITH ROBERT SPENCER ON JIHADWATCH. TED BELMAN VERY BELATEDLY IS TRYING TO ADDRESS THE THREAT TO ISRAEL FROM NATO’S MURDER CAMPAIGN IN LIBYA. TED IS A JEWISH PATRIOT DESPITE HIS ATROCIOUS RELIANCE ON US IMPERIALISM.
IN LOOKING AT THE POLITICAL POSITION OF STEPHEN LENDMAN THESE 2 THINGS NEED TO BE KEPT IN MIND
1. THE SO CALLED “LEFT2 TODAY ARE A BUNCH OF ANTISEMITES AND SO IS LENDMAN. COMES OUT IN EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS SITE, NOT LEAST HIS GUESTING OF GILAD ATZMON ON HIS RADIO HOUR
2. YET LENDMAN HAS TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MURDEROUS ROLE OF OBAMA, CAMERON/HAGUE, AND SARKOZY WITH THEIR NATO IN LIBYA. SPENCER AND GELLER THE GREAT ANTI JIHADISTS HAVE BEEN HIDING IT, SINCE THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY SHRILLS FOR THE US P[OWER MACHINE
THEREIN LIES THE CRISIS OF LEADERSHIP TODAY. THE LEFT MUST FACE DOWN NATO/UN/HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH/SOROS ET AL. AND AS IT DOES THIS, UNLIKE LENDMAN, THE LEFT MUST SEE THAT THE HOLOCAUST DID NOT FINISH IN 1945, AND THE NARRATIVE OF THE “PALESTINIANS” SERVES TO FINISH THE HOLOCAUST OF THE JEWS
ONLY 4INTERNATIONAL CAN CARRY THIS OUT
I AM PUBLISHING 2 ARTICLES BY LENDMAN, PLACING THEM SIDE BY SIDE HERE. ONE SHOWS HIS CORRECT ANALYSIS TOWARDS NATO IN LIBYA. THE SECOND SHOWS LENDMAN TO BE ANTISEMITIC (QUITE APART FROM HIS GUESTING OF ATZMON)

NATO’s Planned Bloodbath in Tripoli
NATO’S Planned Bloodbath In Tripoli – by Stephen Lendman
NATO intends to get the bloodbath it wants through intensified terror bombing and low-level strafing of civilians and nonmilitary sites.
No matter that it grossly violates international and constitutional law, what Washington-led member states long ago trashed.
Through August 22, air operations included 19,877 sorties and 7,505 strike ones, with no elaboration of their intensity or deadliness. What is known is that powerful, high-explosive munitions are used, able to cause deadly force casualties and destruction.
In recent days, strikes intensified. Without them, rebels would disintegrate and collapse. Most of them are little more than ragtag mercenary hooligans, imperial tools, used for what won’t benefit them.
It’s largely true of all wars, especially America’s waged for conquest, dominance, plunder and exploitation, never for democracy or humanitarian reasons Washington doesn’t give a damn about and never did.
NATO is no different. Established in April 1949, a previous article said it calls itself a “political and military alliance for peace and security.”
In fact, it was more for offense than defense. Cold War hysteria was contrived to incite fear and assure an arms race for corporate enrichment. Napoleon once said, “Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self-interest.”
Until the Soviet Union dissolved, communism was the alleged enemy. Today it’s terrorism, as bogus now as then. Both, however, were used for hugely profitable imperial wars from Korea to Libya to numerous proxy ones, as well as trillions of dollars for military readiness – in fact, scandalous amounts in America without enemies for justification since WW II.
Strategically intervening under US control, NATO, in fact, threatens world peace and human survival. In November 2010, Robert Griffiths, general secretary of Britain’s Communist Party (CPB) said:
Under NATO, “(a) global military and reconnaissance infrastructure is being created to support US, British and western European big business interests, especially energy, financial and armaments monopolies.” What began “as a cold war provocation against a non-existent Soviet threat (now) invent(s) or exaggerat(es) threats from so-called failed or rogue states, Islamic fundamentalism and cyber-terrorism.”
Petre Ignat, general secretary of the New Communist Party of Romania, called for NATO’s disbandment, saying:
“We cannot and will not recognize such a murderous alliance, with such a horrible track record….which includes the murder of thousands of innocent civilians in places like Bosnia, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. We cannot and will not recognize an alliance which, through its aggressive policy of expanding East and setting up new military bases there, through its gross interference in other countries’ internal affairs, through its gross violation of international law, can only increase the likelihood of an inter-imperialist war between Western imperialism and emerging capitalist powers, like Russia.”
Its original member countries included America, the five (1948) Treaty of Brussels states (Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg), Canada, Portugal, Italy, Denmark and Iceland. It’s now expanded to 28 states and dozens of partners, threatening world peace and stability.
Membership, however, is a bonanza for Western and Israeli weapons industries as current members and entering states must maintain modern arsenals to state-of-the art readiness, despite no enemies except ones Washington creates to wage wars.
Today, Libya is Exhibit A for NATO lawlessness, attacking a nonbelligerent country for colonization, dominance and plunder, not liberation. Libyans resolve to resist, doing what they can despite ferocious air attacks.
On August 22, government spokesman Musa Ibrahim said Sunday casualties included 1,300 killed, another 5,000 or more wounded. Local hospitals can’t keep up, yet casualties mount as street fighting continues.
The Australian AP quoted Hugo Chavez denouncing NATO’s war, saying:
Western powers are “destroying Tripoli with their bombs,” while street clashes continue. He added that bombs are “falling on schools, hospitals, workplaces, and farmland.”
“Let’s pray to God for the Libyan people….They’re practically demolishing Tripoli with their bombs” to take over another country. “It’s the excuse to intervene and seize (it) and its riches.”
Independent journalists on the ground are threatened and targeted. They’ve also been confined to their hotel, knowing exposure risks being shot by snipers. They’re marked men and women, making it essential they get help to leave. It’s too unsafe to stay.
In a morning email, Lizzie Phelan said:
“I am extremely exhausted, confused, a little scared, and I was feeling a little nervous about making the necessary political points (on Press TV live with this writer Monday morning) because of the present situation.”
Nonetheless, she felt buoyed being on air with a friend and supporter. She called it “massively reassuring and a timely reminder amidst my exhaustion of what we are fighting for.”
She also highlighted the death and injury toll. In the past two days alone, it surpassed Israel’s three-week Cast Lead slaughter. Moreover, much more is likely, besides the last six months toll, ravaging populated Libyan areas without letup.
What greater reason to indict NATO as a killing machine, a destructive US-led evil force everyone needs to understand, condemn, and struggle to abolish.
As long as this monster exists, no one anywhere is safe!
On August 21, Voltaire Network’s Thierry Meyssan headlined, “NATO carnage in Tripoli,” reporting on what he witnessed firsthand, saying:
On August 20, NATO launched “Operation Mermaid Dawn.”
“The Sirens were the mosque loud speakers which were used to launch Al Qaeda’s call to revolt against the Gaddafi government. Immediately ‘sleeper cells’ went into action. Organized in small, highly mobile, groups, they carried out multiple attacks.”
The overnight toll left about 350 killed, another 3,000 wounded. Early Sunday, conditions stabilized ahead of greater evening violence, supported by NATO drones, other aircraft, and “helicopters straf(ing) civilians in the streets with machine guns to clear the way for the jihadis.”
Ahead of the attacks, “a NATO warship….anchored just off the shore of Tripoli, delivering heavy weapons and debarking Al Qaeda jihadi forces, which were led by NATO officers.”
The Rixos hotel where Meyssan, other independent journalists, and Western ones stay came “under heavy fire.” By evening, another 1,300 dead and 5,000 wounded were reported. The toll keeps mounting.
UN Resolution 1973 empowering NATO to protect Libyans, in fact, facilitated their slaughter.
Heavy fighting is reported in Tripoli. Independent journalists are threatened with death, supported by NATO and rogue Western journalists. They’re known, so if exposed outside, they face execution. Mahdi Nazemroaya had a near miss. Franklin Lamb was wounded in the leg. He’s OK and recovering.
Nazemroaya said he “was putting up a sign on top of (his) hotel. (He) took the initiative to do that and write ‘Press’ (on it) – and a sniper shot at” him.
Other than during NATO bombing and strafing, he believes Libyans will fight to defend their country. The possibility of being NATO ruled is too intolerable to accept.
It’s an exploitive killing machine, wanting Libyans exploited, not liberated. At 5PM Monday Tripoli time, Franklin Lamb told Press TV that large explosions were heard nearby, likely 1,000-pound bombs, he believed.
On August 22, Nazemroaya’s Global Research.ca article headlined, “Western Media Complicit in NATO’s ‘Humanitarian Bloodbath,’ ” saying:
He and other foreign journalists are trapped in their hotel “as practically all the staff and security personnel have run for their lives.”
Calling the situation “critical,” he expected “the next several hours (to) be decisive.”
Despite ongoing intense NATO bombing and strafing civilians, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon brazenly called conditions in Libya “a hopeful moment,” shamelessly calling on Gaddafi to cease fighting and surrender.
A NATO tool, he opposes his right of self-defense, adding that he’ll tried by the International Criminal Court. In fact, it’s an imperial tribunal, a hanging one, convicting by accusation. At the same time, it absolves Western war criminals entirely, solely targeting their victims.
Nazemroaya said NATO’s using “Yugoslavian” tactics against Libya, “bombing out military and civil infrastructure to clear the way for the rebels.”
“NATO (heavy bombing and strafing) did all the work here….and their leaders must be help accountable as war criminals for killing civilians.”
At the same time, Washington and its NATO partners turn a blind eye to atrocities in Bahrain, Egypt under military junta rule, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, other pro-Western rogue states, and Israel’s crimes of war and against humanity against Palestinians.
Nazemroaya and other independent journalists are endangered. As a result, they need exit help to leave. Their lives are literally on the line.
He said “(t)wo of Gaddafi’s sons have been arrested with some reports suggesting the leader himself is in a specialist cardiac unit in a town 14 kilometers east of (Tripoli). Following a night of chaos in the capital, crowds have gathered in the city’s central square waving revolutionary flags.”
On Sunday, Gaddafi appealed to Libyans to deter the rebel offensive, saying:
“It is the obligation of all Libyans. It is a question of life or death.”
He’s made past similar appeals. It bears observing. At most, hundreds of insurgents (as few perhaps as three or four hundred) now terrorize Tripoli because of heavy NATO support. Without it, they’d be easily routed.
The situation remains chaotic, violent and fluid. Events are fast-moving. What appears one way can shift quickly to another.
Moreover, Gaddafi isn’t at issue. Libyans will decide their fate, not him, TNC turncoats, insurgents, or NATO, though a long liberation struggle may lie ahead.
Nonetheless, a shameless August 22 White House statement said:
“The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator.”
In fact, if justice prevailed, Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy, and other NATO war criminals would face international court prosecutions for waging war against humanity.
Ongoing ruthlessly for over six months against Libyans alone, it rages lawlessly out of control because justice humanity cries for is denied.
Unless gotten, people everywhere won’t be free. The stakes are that high.

Another Israeli False Flag?
Another Israeli False Flag? – by Stephen Lendman
Mossad and Shin Bet (Israel’s Security Agency) have long, odious histories of committing them. More on that below.
At issue now is whether the August 18 bus and other attacks inside Israel were committed by external elements or Israel, and if so, why?
Also at issue always is cui bono? In fact, Hamas and various Palestinian resistance groups have nothing to gain. Clearly Israel benefits greatly at least two ways:
(1) The upcoming September UN General Assembly vote on Palestinian self-determination Israel very much wants to derail.
(2) Weeks of nationwide internal social justice protests Netanyahu also wants to diffuse and end.
Both are compelling reasons for employing tried and true tactics – change the subject by diverting public attention.
In this case, scaring people enough to put safety above pocket book issues, as well as getting UN member states perhaps to rethink the wisdom of supporting Palestinian sovereignty at this time, with Israel allegedly under attack.
Whether it works will be known when the UN General Assembly meets in September. What’s clear is that last March, Israel informed all Security Council members and prominent EU countries that if Palestinian self-determination efforts within 1967 borders persisted, unilateral Israeli steps would follow, implying harsh ones.
In addition, diffusing social justice protests temporarily worked based on an August 18 Reuters report, saying:
Campaigners “called off planned weekend demonstrations against the high cost of living after a series of terror attacks in the south left seven people dead.”
Of concern is how to reignite protest energy after it wanes, even for a short time. Resumption often lacks initial levels of passion, mass support, and commitment to stay the course, especially when people have other daily priorities, besides worrying whether their country is under attack.
Add it up and it suggests classic false flag reasons, perhaps with planned follow-up attacks for reinforcement. They’re likely if Israel also has another objective in mind – using the attacks as pretext for Cast Lead II.
Israel blamed the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees (PRC – a coalition of resistance factions) for launching internal attacks.
PRC spokesman Abu Mujahid told AFP:
“We salute (the operation) and we are proud of it, but we do not claim it. The occupation wants to pin (it) on us in order to escape its own internal problems.”
Hamas also denied responsibility, spokesman Taher al-Nunu telling AFP:
“These (unfounded) accusations are an attempt to distract from the Israeli domestic crisis.”
As expected, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak pointed fingers, despite no corroborating evidence, saying:
“The source of the terror incidents is Gaza and we will act against them with all our strength and determination.”
Also as expected, New York Times coverage was pro-Israeli. On August 19, Heba Afify and Isabel Kershner headlined, “A Long Peace Is Threatened in Israel Attack,” saying:
“A cross-border terrorist attack and an Israeli retaliation (threatened) to undermine” peace with Egypt, with no evidence, except rhetoric, to suggest either.
Afify and Kershner implied Israel was right, saying “attackers were Palestinians from Gaza who had crossed into Israel from the Egyptian Sinai, an assertion Egypt rejected.”
Based on no evidence whatever, Israel’s scripted story is that Gaza-based “terror” operations “began weeks” earlier, likely “involv(ing) 10 to 15 terrorists,” entering Israel “with rifles, explosive belts, grenades, (and) heavier weapons.”
Yet Times writers didn’t question how they managed unspotted, given tight Israeli security and high-tech surveillance, assassinating children and farmers on the slightest pretext.
As for a “long peace,” there’s been none for decades. Daily, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) and other human rights organizations document regular Israeli bombings, shellings, Cast Lead, Mavi Marmara and other massacres, shootings, targeted assassinations, other attacks, casualties, incursions, Gaza under siege, mass arrests, illegal settlement expansions, bulldozed homes, theft of Palestinian land, dispossessions, and overall Israeli lawlessness – enforcing militarized hell on Palestinians, not peace.
On August 19, PCHR discussed Israel’s response to internal August 18 attacks, saying:
Israeli forces “launched a series of air attacks against civilian-populated areas in the Gaza Strip,” including “extra-judicially executing Kamal al-Nairab, Secretary General of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), 4 PRC leaders and a two-year old child….”
Other strikes injured 23 Palestinians, including seven children, six women and three police officers.
On August 20, various news agencies said Israeli air attacks and shelling raised the death toll to 16 and counting. In response, Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades armed wing suspended its unilateral ceasefire, a spokesman saying:
“There can be no truce with the Israeli occupation while it commits massacres against the Palestinian people without justification.”
In fact, blaming victims, lawlessness, violence, crimes of war and against humanity, collective punishment, intimidation, attacking unarmed civilians, and overall brutality are Israeli specialties. Combined, they define a rogue state, defiant of international law principles, pursuing its own interests extrajudicially, and getting away with it.
Gazans now worry about a possible Cast Lead II, Israel using perhaps false flag attacks as pretext to launch it. Again, it’s the oldest trick in the book, Israel expert at it like America.
Previous Israeli Targeted Assassinations and False Flags
An Israeli specialty, they began well before 1948 during the Mandatory Palestine period when Jewish terrorist groups targeted Jews, Brits and Arabs. Involved were paramilitary Hagana members, Irgun headed by future prime minister Menachem Begin, and Lehi (also called the Stern Gang) led by another future prime minister, Yitzhak Shamir. They were rogue killers before entering politics.
In November 1944, Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, Britain’s Middle East minister of state, near his home in Cairo.
In September 1948, it also killed UN mediator Folke Bernadotte in Jerusalem, five months after Israel was established. Yitzhak Shamir personally approved the assassination.
In July 1946, Irgun bombed the King David Hotel, massacring 92 Brits, Arabs and Jews, wounding 58 others, an operation future prime minister David Ben-Gurion approved as head of the Jewish Agency at the time.
Before and after May 1948, many thousands of targeted killings occurred or were attempted, most little remembered today except among relatives and their descendants.
Little wonder Israel’s history is so bloodstained, involving individual and mass killings, including on April 9, 1948 (during Israel’s “war of independence”) when Irgun, Lehi and complicit terrorists slaughtered well over 120 Palestinian men, women and children in the bloody Deir Yassin village massacre. On April 14, The New York Times reported 254 killed.
Post-1948, Palestinian supporters were targeted regionally and in Europe. Waves of successful and attempted assassinations occurred, notably against high-profile figures.
In 1954, Israeli agents in Egypt planted bombs in various buildings, including US and UK facilities, using evidence to implicate Arabs. The so-called Lavon Affair failed when a device prematurely detonated, letting Egyptians capture and identify one of the bombers. In turn, it led to rounding up an Israeli spy ring.
More recently, Hamas member Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed in Dubai after two earlier failed attempts. Abu-Dhabi’s the National reported he was poisoned, drugged, and suffocated after previously surviving a failed shooting. Found dead in a Dubai hotel on January 20, 2010, police accused Mossad of murder.
Earlier incidents included Palestinians Abdel Wael Zwaiter, shot 11 times by Israeli agents in Rome after returning home from dinner. It was the first of dozens of retaliatory assassinations against persons suspected of involvement in the 1972 Munich summer Olympic killings of Israeli athletes, coaches and officials, allegedly by Black September members, a resistance, not a terrorist organization.
On June 14, 1980, Yahia El Meshad, then head of Iraq’s nuclear program, was found bludgeoned to death in his Paris hotel room. No one was arrested, but French authorities named Israeli intelligence.
On August 20, 1983, Mamoun Meraish was shot and killed while driving in Athens. Israeli agents were blamed.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Mossad was implicated in numerous Beirut and other car bombings, one of its specialities.
On January 6, 2007, Haaretz reported that newly released British documents claim Shin Bet collaborated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in the hijacking of Air France 139 from Israel, diverted to Entebbe, Uganda.
Arab terrorists were falsely blamed. Elite Israeli commandos led by Yonatan Netanyahu, Bibi’s older brother, became instant heros for their “miraculous” rescue. An unnamed UK diplomat blamed Israel, saying:
“The operation was designed to torpedo the PLO’s standing in France and to prevent what (was seen as) growing rapprochement between the PLO and the Americans.”
British diplomat DH Colvin included information in the document that Israel and the PFLP collaborated. Haaretz said it “was written on June 30, 1976, three days after the hijacking and prior to the rescue operation.”
On September 25, 1997, two Mossad agents with forged Canadian passports attacked Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in Jordan, spraying him with an unknown poison. He survived and recovered to explain.
In January 2002, a car bomb killed former Lebanese cabinet minister Elie Hobeika and three bodyguards. In 1982, he was involved in the infamous Sabra and Shatilla camp massacres. Days before his assassination, he expressed willingness to implicate then Defense Minister Ariel Sharon’s direct role. Clearly, Mossad killed him to prevent it.
In May 2002, Mossad murdered Mohammed Jihad Jibril, son of Ahmed Jibril, founder and head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
In August 2003, Mossad assassinated Ali Hassan Saheh, Hezbollah’s top security officer. Prime Minister Sharon ordered Meir Dagan, its head until January 1, 2011, to conduct assassinations abroad.
No explanation is needed for why Mossad exists. It functions as a de facto Murder, Inc. within or outside Israel, making Mafia families seem benign by comparison.
From 2002 – 2006, it was responsible for numerous car bombings, killing Hezbollah, Hamas, and other officials regionally.
On February 12, 2008, a car bomb killed Hezbollah member Imad Hugniyeh in Damascus. Mossad again was responsible.
On August 1, 2008, it killed Muhammad Suleiman, a Syrian army officer close to President Bashar al-Assad, shot by snipers offshore near his vacation villa.
Rafik Hariri’s Assassination
On February 14, 2005, compelling visual and audio evidence revealed real time intercepted Israel aerial surveillance footage of routes former Prime Minister Hariri used on the day his motorcade was attacked. Clearly, Israel was involved.
Washington blamed Syria. Assad denied responsibility. Hezbollah was later falsely named. It was a typical Mossad assassination though no one at the time knew for sure. The blast ripped a 30 foot crater in the street, injuring over 100 besides those killed.
An International Court of Justice (ICC) Special Tribunal (STL) investigated Hariri’s killing. On January 17, its sealed indictment was released, Canadian prosecutor Daniel Bellemare saying the next day that the confidential document was important for the people of Lebanon, the international community, and “for those who believe in international justice.”
On June 30, arrest warrants for four Hezbollah members were issued. None were detained. At the time, Hezbollah said no arrests would be made, calling the tribunal a Washington/Israeli manipulated sham, covering up a classic Mossad operation.
On August 17, the 47-page indictment was released, holding Hezbollah members responsible based on falsified evidence. Those named include Mustafa Amine Badreddine, Salim Jamil Ayyash, Hussein Hassan Oneissi, and Assad Hassan Sabra. Badreddine was called the mission head.
No evidence proves it or that others named were involved. Clearly, Hezbollah had nothing to gain from the assassination but plenty to lose if, in fact, responsible.
A Final Comment
Later evidence may prove one way or the other whether Israel staged the multiple August 18 attacks. It has much to gain by doing so. Hamas, PFLP, and other Palestinians, however, have everything to lose, so why risk involvement? No advantage comes to mind.
In contrast, Israel has compelling reasons as explained above and may succeed precisely as planned. In fact, if Cast Lead II is intended, a trifecta of successes may follow. Palestinians and working Israelis, however, will suffer enormous defeats.
As a result, public awareness of what’s at stake is essential to derail Israel’s latest scheme. Failure to do so is an unacceptable option.

conclusion FROM READING lENDMAN’S ARTICLES by FELIX QUIGLEY
THESE 2 ARTICLES BY LENDMAN WERE WRITTEN WITHIN 2 DAYS OF EACH OTHER
THE ARTICLE ON LIBYA IS VERY CORRECT AND PERFORMS A USEFUL PURPOSE IN EXPOSING THE ROLE OF NATO TODAY
THE ARTICLE ABOUT ISRAEL IS TOTAL FASCIST ANTISEMITISM IN ACTION
My conclusion about all of this is that Lendman is probably too far gone to do anything about, but that the forces to defend Israel are nevertheless going to come out of the left. In other words the question is how Lendman is totally right on one, wrong on the other. I put this down largely to ideology, the ideas in peoples’ brains. And these ideas are largely picked up from the “Palestinian narrative”, a very complicated thing indeed, because it brings into play so many factors (here think Jewish traitors like the early Benny Morris and his myths about 1948, think Jewish traitors and liars today like Finkelstein, think an Israeli leadership of the state itself acting like toadies to US Imperialism, think the growth of bureaucracy inside Israel especially the IDF top leaders, think the depth and persistence of Hajj Amin el Husseini Nazi antisemitism, think US recruitment of the Nazis post 1945 and US elitist hatred of the Jews (Pollard), but above all think the absence in the situation of Trotskyism which in itself has the material for a whole book.
