Lubomyr Prytulak Comment
24Apr99 Clinton's Jewish connection
Prominent and influential Ukrainians, like Bohdan
Krawchenko and Bohdan Hawrylyshyn, as well as significant members of the
Kuchma administration, recently were, and today may continue to be, George
Soros employees.
Clinton's Jewish
Connection
by Lubomyr
Prytulak
Monica Lewinsky knows it, and is
unafraid to say it. Ms. Lewinsky's lawyer, William Ginsburg knows
it, and is unafraid to say it. Bill Clinton has a strong Jewish
connection:
Monica Lewinsky believes
President Clinton is good for Israel and the Jews and does not want
to see him forced from office, her lawyer said in an interview
published today.
"On the contrary," William Ginsburg was
quoted as saying when asked by the daily Yediot Ahronot if Ms.
Lewinsky wanted to see Clinton step down over their alleged sexual
affair.
"We are fans of President Clinton and admire his
positions and policies concerning Israel. Clinton is very
positive toward Israel and the Jews, and Monica and I are Jews," the
lawyer was quoted as saying.

Why should we care? We
should care because the poor economic performance of Ukraine is in the
interests of Israel, so that Bill Clinton, and thus the US, are in a
position of having a conflict of interest with respect to Ukraine, a
possibility I will comment on further below.
But if we had only the
opinions of Ms. Lewinsky and Mr. Ginsburg to rely on, we might be left
short of completely convinced. For that reason, I offer below
statements of Israeli political commentator Israel Shahak who not only
reinforces the Lewinsky-Ginsburg view that Clinton has a strong Jewish
connection, but provides detail as well.
Quoted material below,
then, is from Israel Shahak's book, Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and
Foreign Policies, 1997. My comments follow farther
below:
Unless Israel soon acquires
its own sources of income, its emancipation from American tutelage
will remain contingent on the weakness and crassness of Clinton's
foreign policies and on the recent remarkable gains in influence of
organized US Jews upon his administration. The situation in
this respect was well summarized by Haaretz correspondent
Orri Nir who reported (6 July) that 'Clinton feels committed to the
Jewish vote and even more to Jewish campaign donations', and that
his administration 'has a firm "Jewish connection" '.
(Israel Shahak, Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign
Policies, Pluto Press, London and Chicago, 1997, p. 64)

Oren ... admits that 'Clinton
loves Israel effusively and even more the American voters who
support Israel.'
(Israel Shahak, Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign
Policies, Pluto Press, London and Chicago, 1997, p. 95)
|
Unless the American Jews so
accommodate themselves [to Israeli leadership], they can in his
[Nir's] view damage Israel badly, when 'an administration with a
"Jewish connection" as firm as Clinton's sits in the White
House. Since Clinton feels so committed to the Jewish vote and
even more to Jewish campaign donations, Jewish opinion has a great
importance.'
(Israel Shahak, Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign
Policies, Pluto Press, London and Chicago, 1997, p. 130)

A deeper ... insight came from
the pen of Meron Benvenisti writing for Haaretz (15
July). His opinions deserve to be quoted at length.
After noting that 'the Jewish American community' bears no less
responsibility than anybody else for 'the status quo' in the
Territories, Benvenisti proceeds to describe this community's ways
of influencing US policies. He recalls that 'when the [US]
mission headed by Denis Ross came to Jerusalem, a Hebrew paper
[Maariv] described it as "the mission of four Jews", and
gloated with pride while talking about the Jewish and even Israeli
roots of all its members.' Other papers did likewise.
The 'Israeli roots' of those US diplomats comprising what went under
the name of a 'peace mission' included the fact that a son of one of
them was said to be studying in a Hesder Yeshiva, to receive
military training there. He was also said to be a sympathizer
of Gush Emunim and was awaiting the opportunity to serve in the
Israeli Army in the Territories. Benvenisti's comment is that
'the ethnic origin of American diplomats sent here to promote peace
may be irrelevant, but it is hard to ignore the fact that
manipulation of the peace process was entrusted by the US in the
first place to American Jews, and that at least one member of the
State Department team was selected for the task because he
represented the views of American Jewish establishment. The
tremendous influence of the Jewish establishment upon the Clinton
administration found its clearest manifestation in redefining the
"occupied territories" as "territories in dispute". The
Palestinians are understandably angry. But lest they be
accused of anti-Semitism, they cannot, God forbid, talk about
Clinton's "Jewish connection".

Policies, Pluto Press, London and Chicago, 1997, pp. 130-131)

According to Israel Shahak,
Gail Pressberg is president of the US Friends for Peace Now, and
would be aptly described as "White House superintendent of Jewish affairs"
(p. 138). The first four sentences below are Gail Pressberg's, with
Shahak's comments following:
'We also run a campaign to let
thousands of our supporters cable the White House or address it
otherwise. We are using all our influence to make the papers
accept for publication lots of articles authored by both Israelis
and Americans who support the Israeli government. We provide
instructions to anyone willing to subsequently write letters to the
editor.' It can be presumed that Peace Now influences the
papers and to all appearances even more the television, not only in
order to publish what it wants to be published, but also in order to
conceal what it wants to be concealed from public knowledge.
This is, after all, what all US Jewish organizations have done for
years, with considerable success.
Two conclusions can, in my
view, be drawn from the developments described in this report.
The bulk of the organized US Jewish community is totalitarian,
chauvinistic and militaristic in its views. This fact remains
unnoticed by other Americans due to its control of the media, but is
apparent to some Israeli Jews.
(Israel Shahak, Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign
Policies, Pluto Press, London and Chicago, 1997, pp. 138-139)

The Shahak quotations above
occasion several observations:
(1) The
epithet is Shahak's. The expression "Clinton's Jewish
connection" is not mine but Israel Shahak's.
(2) The taboo is North American. The
prohibition against speaking about Jewish control of the White House, as
by referring to "Clinton's Jewish connection" is largely a North American
phenomenon, and does not extend to Israel or to the Israeli
press.
(3) The surprise is
Israeli. Israelis themselves are surprised at the
extent of Jewish control of the Clinton White House.
(4) Ukraine is under Jewish influence.
Viewed together with other material that has been published on the
Ukrainian Archive, Ukraine may be said to be under Jewish influence,
possibly even under Jewish domination: (i) the US exerts powerful
influence over Ukraine at a time when Jews exert a
historically-unprecedented influence over the US White House; (ii) when
Ukraine's first post-independence president, Leonid Krawchuk, was about to
win a second term in office, Leonid Kuchma had that presidency purchased
for him by the Hungarian Jew, George Soros, and Leonid Kuchma ever since has
been turning Ukraine into the Sicily of Europe (with apologies to Sicily
for sullying it with this metaphor); (iii) prominent and influential
Ukrainians, like Bohdan Krawchenko and Bohdan Hawrylyshyn, as well as
significant members of the Kuchma administration, recently were, and today
may continue to be, George Soros employees.
(5) Ukrainian economic success would be against Israeli, and
therefore against US, interests. Were Ukraine
thriving, then the question of the authorship of its fate would be
necessary in order to know on whom to bestow recognition and thanks.
As Ukraine is being plundered, however, the question of the authorship of
its fate is necessary in order to know on whom to bestow blame, and in
order to understand from whose control it is necessary to seek
emancipation. In fact, Ukraine's disastrous economic performance is
to the benefit of the United States and Israel. To restrict
ourselves to the single greatest benefit and single greatest beneficiary:
Israel has plundered the former Soviet Union — and thus Ukraine
proportionately — of something in the order of one million of its citizens,
a disproportionate number of whom are scientists, engineers, and other
people of accomplishment or talent. Now Israel speaks openly of
plundering one million
more. This plundering would not have been possible had Ukraine's
economy improved incrementally year after year following independence,
instead of deteriorating year after year. Thus, for Ukraine to have
developed a strong economy following independence would have been against
the interests of Israel, and as the US White House is influenced by Israel
— perhaps on Ukrainian questions one might say even controlled by Israel —
then a strong Ukrainian economy would also have been seen by Clinton as
against the interests of the US.
