31. FBI: JEWS NEED NOT APPLY for Arabic linguist jobs
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.22.06)
www.WorldNetDaily.com Despite shortage, loyalty issues, bureau snubbed 90 N.Y. applicants October 9, 2003 By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com Despite a shortage of Arabic translators, the FBI turned down applications for linguist jobs from nearly 100 Arabic-speaking Jews in New York following the World Trade Center attacks, WorldNetDaily has learned. The FBI's New York office in October 2001 asked a local charity that works with Arab Jews to submit applications for the linguist jobs, which are crucial to anti-terrorism investigations. But not one of the more than 90 applicants was hired, even though some had helped translate Arabic for Israeli radio and TV news stations and the Israeli army before coming to America, the charity's director says. ...''Maybe the FBI is not hiring Jewish people that often, I don't know,'' he said, suggesting the FBI fears offending the Muslim community. ...However, the head of the New York office recently invited a Muslim cleric to preach to New York agents about Islam's alleged peaceful attributes as part of a bureau-wide Muslim-sensitivity training program. FBI Director Robert Mueller has reached out to several Muslim-rights groups since the Sept. 11 attacks... Still, the FBI has been hard-pressed to clear a large backlog of untranslated documents and recorded dialogue in Arabic, information that could produce clues to terrorist plots in the U.S. ... Many of the translators that both the FBI and military have hired are Arab Muslims. The Army is investigating two Muslim linguists for possible spying... Gamal Abdel-Hafiz, an immigrant Muslim, twice refused on religious grounds to tape-record Muslim terrorist suspects, hindering investigations... A fellow FBI agent, Robert Wright, said Abdel-Hafiz finally explained to him that ''a Muslim does not record another Muslim,'' after first claiming he feared for his life. Other agents said he contacted Arab subjects under investigation without disclosing the contacts to the agents running the cases. Despite his divided loyalties, the FBI subsequently promoted Abdel-Hafiz by assigning him to the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, a critical post for intelligence-gathering. Three-fourths of the Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis. After Wright and another agent blew the whistle in the media, however, Adel-Hafiz was put on administrative leave... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35018

33. AIPAC: Target of witchhunt
Laura   (10.23.06)
It's clear that anti-Israel elements in the U.S. government are trying to undermine and even destroy AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobbying groups. Could this also be karl rove's promised "October Surprise" against Democrats. I certainly would not put it past this vile little snake to use Jew-baiting in order to win an election for the GOP. So much for the Bush White House being pro-Israel. They wouldn't hesitate to send Israel and its supporters down the river if it meant they can win an election.

39. Linda #31 Get a life twit
John ,   USA   (10.23.06)
You forgot to include the reasons FBI might have not hired the Jews for Arabic translators: That they were from Syria, or Jordan, or that they worked for the Israeli military. The FBI won't hire people that they regard as a posible security threat. You silly warped silly twit. If you're going to copy stories from WND, you can't edit the copy to suit your political agenda. They could sue you for that.

John ,   USA   (10.23.06)
It's much more simple. AIPAC has too much money in everybody's elections, so everybody regards them as the enemy to keep close. They will all accept the money, but at the end of the day they reguard AIPAC as just another obsticle to their own agenda. AIPAC stepped on the wrong side of the law, so they are only too happy to let them have it. Remeber that everyone regards them as a Jewish conspiracy, so it also reflects badly on the Jewish state. But they''ll still take the money. It's not a Republican or a Democrat thing especially.
41. AIPAC Must Go
Gene Machina ,   Los Angeles, USA   (10.25.06)
AIPAC is a subversive front organization for Israeli firsters. We don't need AIPAC. What we need are lobbying organzations whose first loyalty is the USA.

Stop messing up our country. You think we need you? Think again. We give you millions so you can just survive. What do we get in return? You probably do not even have the integrity to add my response
44. think about this-
Ryan ,   anytown, USA   (10.25.06)
Israel does not care about nor represent the Jews or that’s religion. Israel is a US military cash cow, a medium to bloat the budget of the pentagon and use leverage over the oil rich state of the Middle East. Its run my money loving greedy profiteers and was set up by the Zionist owners of private central banks such as the Rothchilds. Its purpose is not a homeland for a people of a certain religious faith. That idea in and of itself is ridiculous anyway. You know every other religion can go anywhere and does not attach itself to bloodlines or a piece of land. Israel attracts and fosters lunatics. It does not care one iota about Judaism. It hides behind religion and the guilt associated with WWII (despite the very principle founders of Israel financing the Nazis and cutting off immigration to other nations in order to force Jews to move to this new project) in order to dodge criticism for what can be described as an apartheid police state and warmongering liars. The purpose of Israel the plutocratic fear laden “democracy” is to expand and to spread “democracy” AKA central banking and control of the world’s money supply to the few state who do not already have it namely the “Arab world”. But this time Israel made a no-no and tried to fight on its own with out the big daddy US protecting them, and Israel is failing. Every kid they kill and every strike of aggression they make is a blow against their self. Russia has already called a spade a spade at the last G8 meeting. The world is tired of Israel’s bullshit. Crying anti-Semite has worn out and people are seeing through their deception. Israel kills little kids and uses collective punishment on people who are reacting to an occupation which is against international law to begin with. More over Israel has shown itself to be weak, regardless of all their toys, the military strength of the Zionist is marginal and their own people are protesting in Tel Aviv by the thousands. Nobody likes the Zionists including the Jews. It will be a great pleasure to watch Israel’s Zionists fall apart and the multitude of court cases in the US take down the Zionist Neocons in the US’s government and restore some sanity to our world away from religious fanatics or at least those who hijack religion with hatred and use then as business fronts instead of being the false hope yet comforting fairytales they are supposed to be. Israel’s days are numbered, they either end the occupation and withdraw ALL the settlements and end their aggression or they are going to get annihilated in the future.
