Did Israel Provide the U.S. with the Intelligence on Isis-K, by Larry Johnson
I am kicking myself because I did not bookmark the article or email I read earlier today that mentioned in passing that Israel provided the United States with the intelligence that led to the State Department issuing the March 7 warning of a possible terrorist attack within 48 hours. If anyone has the link let me know.
If this is true it raises all sorts of new angles to consider. For example, a member of Netanyahu’s ruling party said this in October:
Amir Weitmann, the head of the libertarian caucus in Israel’s Likud Party, appeared on Russia’s state-run RT News network this week and spoke about fighting between Israel and Hamas militants, as well as Russia’s war with Ukraine.
While speaking about recent claims relating to al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, Weitmann criticized Russia, saying that “we’re gonna finish this war, we’re going to win because we’re stronger. After this, Russia will pay the price, believe me, Russia will pay the price.”
“Russia is supporting the enemies of Israel. Russia is supporting Nazi people who want to commit genocide on us and Russia will pay the price,” Weitmann said. “We’re gonna win this war. Afterwards, we’re not forgetting what you’re doing, we’re not forgetting, we will come, we will make sure Ukraine wins. We will make sure that you pay the price for what you have done, you as Russia.”
Israel is making other moves to support Ukraine in its war with Russia. On March 2:
Israel’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said the Middle Eastern country was “working to provide Ukraine with early warning systems” in a speech on Wednesday. . . .
The Israeli announcement had not “come out of the blue,” Amir Weitmann, the head of the libertarian caucus in Israel’s ruling Likud Party, told BI. . . .
Nonetheless, this was “just the beginning” of Israel’s commitment to Ukraine, the politician said.
“Israel will take a more aggressive stance against Russia” from now on, he believed, adding that if the Ukraine war is not over by the time Israel has dealt with its local problem. “Israeli weapons would find their way to Ukraine.”
That is a threat and it is not an idle one. And it raises the legitimate question — was Israel involved in any way with helping facilitate the 22 March terrorist attack? Let me add one more piece to the puzzle. Here is a video of an ISIS operator pronouncing judgment on another Muslim for supporting Hamas. Let that sink in for a moment.
If it turns out that Israel had knowledge of the plot a did not make an attempt to warn Russia then relations between Israel and Russia will be in shambles.
Now for something to entertain you this Easter Weekend. Pyotr Tolstoy does a masterful job of trolling the French over their support for Ukraine. It is masterful.
Finally, I had a great chat today with Ania. We focused almost exclusively on the situation in Ukraine and the 22 March terrorist attack:
