ABRAMOFF'S TIES TO ISRAELI EXTREMISTS

JUAN COLE - Abramoff's dense network of illicit finances and phony
charities might end some political careers in the United States. But the
investigation into his activities by the FBI also shed light on the ways
in which rightwing American Jews have often been involved in funding
what are essentially terrorist activities by armed land thieves in
Palestinian territory.

Indeed, it was this terror funding of Israeli far right militiamen that
tripped Abramoff up, since the FBI discovered that he had misled Indian
tribes into giving money to the Jabotinskyites, and then began wondering
if he had defrauded the tribes in other ways. (You betcha!) The Indian
leaders were furious when they discovered they had been used to oppress
another dispossessed indigenous people, the Palestinians, calling it
"Outer Limits bizarre" and saying that they would never have willingly
given money to such a cause. . .

But here's a prediction. None of the Jewish extremists, some of them
violent, who are invading the West Bank and making the lives of the
local Palestinians miserable will ever be branded "terrorists" by the US
Government, and Abramoff's foray into providing sniper lessons will be
quietly buried. Terror isn't terror and aggression is not aggression
when it has lobbyists in Congress who can provide luxury vacations and
illegal campaign funding.
