Gilad Atzmon looks at some of the hidden reasons for Israel’s economic success, from money laundering by criminal Russian oligarchs to arms trading, human organ trafficking and harvesting, and other types of international organized crime.
We learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around.
How come? you may ask. Besides maybe avocados, oranges and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any consumer goods. Israel claims to be advanced in hi-tech industries but somehow the only advanced Israeli software ever to settle within our computers have been their Sabra Trojan Horses. In the land they grabbed by force from the indigenous Palestinians, they are yet to find any lucrative minerals or oil.
Money laundering, blood diamonds, arms dealing and organ trafficking
So how is it that Israel is impervious to the global financial disaster? How can Israel be so rich?
Israel may be rich because, according to the Guardian,“out of the seven oligarchs who controlled 50 per cent of Russia’s economy during the 1990s, six are Jewish”. During the last two decades many Russian oligarchs have acquired Israeli citizenship. They also secured their dirty money by investing in the kosher financial haven; WikiLeaks has revealed lately that “sources in the [Israeli] police estimate that Russian organized crime [the Russian mafia] has laundered as much as 10 billion US dollars through Israeli holdings".1
As if this is not enough, Israel is also prosperous because, every so often, it is caught engaged in organ trafficking and harvesting.
In short, Israel is doing better than other countries because it runs one of the dirtiest unethical economies in the world. In spite of the Zionists' initial promise to bring about a civilized, ethical Jew, Israel has instead managed to develop an outstanding level of institutional dismissal of international law and universal values. It operates as a safe haven for money made in horrendous global criminal activities. And it employs one of the world’s strongest armies to defend the wealth of just a few of the wealthiest Jews around.
Increasingly, Israel seems to be nothing more than a humongous money laundering haven for Jewish oligarchs, swindlers, weapons dealers, organ traffickers, organized crime and blood diamond traders. Such a realization can certainly explain why Israel is totally impervious to social equality within its borders.
Poor Israelis
Since Israel defines itself as the Jewish state, one may expect the Jewish people to be the first to benefit from their country’s booming economy. This seems to be not at all the case. In spite of the economy's strength, Israel’s record on social justice is appalling. In the Jewish state 18 families control 60 per cent of the equity value of all companies in the land. The Jewish state is shockingly cruel to its poor. As far as the gap between rich and poor is concerned, Israel is listed right at the top of the scale.
The meaning of all of this is pretty devastating. Although Israel operates as an ethnocentric, racially-orientated tribal setting, it is proving to be totally careless towards its own tribe. In fact, in the Jewish state a few million Jews are serving the darkest possible interests, the fruits of which are to be enjoyed by just very few rich villains.
Smokescreen
But there is a deeper and far more devastating meaning implicit in all this. If my reading of the Israeli economy is correct and Israel is indeed a monstrous cash haven for the dirtiest money around, then the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is, at least from the Israeli-elite's perspective , nothing but a smokescreen.
I hope that my readers and friends will forgive me for saying it – I hope that I will forgive myself for saying it – but it seems to me that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Israel's horrendous crimes against the Palestinian people, actually serve to divert attention away from Israel's complicity in some colossal and global crimes against vast populations around the world. Instead of addressing the above relentless greed-driven attempt to grab wealth at the expense of the rest of humanity, we are all focusing on a single territorial conflict that brings to light just one devastating criminal side of the Jewish national project.
It is more than likely that the vast majority of Israelis also fail to detect the role of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a smokescreen. The Israelis are indoctrinated to look at every possible issue from a national security perspective. They have failed to realize that along the intensive militarization of their society, their Jewish state has become a money laundering haven and a refuge for villains from all over the world.
But here is some bad news for Israel and its corrupted elite. It is just a question of time before the Russians, Americans, Africans and Europeans – all of humanity – begin to grasp it all. We are all Palestinians and we all share one enemy.
I would even take it further and argue that it is possible that, before too long, some deprived Jews and Israelis will also begin to realize how deceptive and sinister Israel and Zionism truly are.
