Mahmoud al Mabouh

Part 1 of 3
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
In a northern suburb of Tel Aviv in January 2010, a car pulled up to the main gate of Mossad, Israel’s KGB. The Institute’s Director greeted the Prime Minister as he stepped from his German Audi A6 limousine.
The Prime Minister was a thickset, meaty rather than fat man accustomed to associating with the rich and powerful of the earth on a conspicuously “more equal than” basis. The Director, who matched his colleague in brutality and bloody-handedness, was a squat, stumpy thug with a sagging gut like Ariel Sharon’s. Both men had the coarse features and easy arrogance of gangsters. Together they directed what admiring fellow Jews called a “‘Murder, Inc.’ from Warsaw to Bangkok, and from Paris to Dubai.”
The purpose of the meeting was to authorize the liquidation of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a 49-year-old Palestinian Hamas official who supposedly[1] forged secret connections between Gaza Palestinians and the Al-Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran.[2] The Jews had tried unsuccessfully to kill him on numerous occasions in the past.
Israel claimed Mabhouh played a key role in arms shipments from Iran to Gaza via Sudan, Egypt, and the Sinai. It is in the Iranian context that the elimination of Mabhouh must be understood, according to Uzi Mahnaimi of the London Times.
Jewish Death Squads
Viewed coldly, Jewish behavior evokes certain associations in the mind. Adjectives like bigoted, hypocritical, underhanded, treacherous, brutal, hateful, unfair, dishonest, intolerant, narrow-minded, defamatory, clever, sly, malicious, furtive and deceitful describe some of them.
Assassination is base. It is repugnant as an isolated phenomenon. But when it selectively targets hundreds (thousands?) of individuals for liquidation over long periods of time as a means of carefully steering ideas and human events in directions they would otherwise not have taken, it becomes particularly menacing.
It is an open secret that Jewish death squads roam freely, undeterred by borders and unencumbered by laws or mores that bind everyone else. Only Jews among the peoples of the earth are sanctioned by states and ruling cliques to commit the crime of assassination wherever and whenever they please, with impunity, without oversight, unaccountable to law.
We read that “when it comes to the undercover method of assassination, no espionage agency has more expertise than Israel’s Mossad.” “Assassinations are nothing new for the Jewish state.” And the long list of known killings is “just the tip of the iceberg; the majority of the missions have remained invisible” (emphasis added).
Discussing state-sponsored killings, Israeli Uzi Mahnaimi summarizes:
Mossad has had a reputation for ruthlessness since it hunted down the Black September terrorists who massacred 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Time and again its vengeful arm has reached out across the Arab world and into Europe, too, smiting enemies. One hit [that Mossad Director Meir Dagan] masterminded was in Damascus two years ago against Imad Mughniyeh, a founder of Hezbollah and one of the world’s most wanted terrorists. Mughniyeh was decapitated when the headrest of his car seat exploded—close to the headquarters of Syrian intelligence.
Six months later, Mossad, in co-operation with special forces, struck again at the heart of the Syrian establishment. General Mohammed Suleiman, Syria’s liaison to North Korea’s nuclear programme, was relaxing in the back garden of his villa on the Mediterranean shore. His bodyguards were monitoring the front of the villa. Out to sea a yacht sailed slowly by. No noise was heard, but suddenly the general fell, a bullet through his head.
Fawaz Turki, a Washington, DC-based journalist and author, writes that Murder, Inc.-style Israeli death squads are not new. They have snuffed out the lives of hundreds of activists, political leaders, journalists, commentators, intellectuals, militants, and others since at least 1942. According to Turki, many Jewish assassins in the Arab world (known as “Mistarivim,” or “Arab pretenders”), unlike the Ashkenazi Jews seen in the Dubai police footage, have been Oriental Jews born in Arab countries, who dress in native garb and speak accent-free Arabic.
The Briefing
Inside the Mossad briefing room, the Prime Minister, the Director, and an Israeli general met with selected death squad members. The Prime Minister and the General were informed that the Palestinian was traveling to Dubai, where Mossad planned to kill him.
Preparations had been in train since early November 2009. Israel knew Mabhouh’s travel itinerary. A large number of agents had visited Dubai between November 6 and November 10, and in recent weeks Jews had twice shadowed his every move on other Dubai trips, methodically laying the groundwork. The murder would take place in his hotel room. The squad had already rehearsed the kill in a Tel Aviv hotel without informing the management. They were not detected.
The death squad consisted of 26 members. Preparatory trips into and out of Dubai were made by 14 members of the team (11 males and 3 females) between March and November 2009. The airline routes used by the killers never originated from or departed to Israel, but rather from or to such countries as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Iran.
The hit squad assumed European, rather than Jewish or Israeli-sounding cover names and national identities:
Your Tax Dollars at Work: Eleven members of the Israeli-based international Jewish death squad that assassinated Mahmoud al-Mabhouh
France: “Peter Elvinger”—the cabal’s logistical coordinator.
Ireland: “Gail Folliard” (female), “Kevin Daveron,” and “Evan Dennings.”
Britain: “Paul John Keely,” “Stephan Daniel Hodes,” “Melvyn Adam Mildiner,” “Jonathan Louis Graham,” “James Leonard Clarke” and “Michael Lawrence Barney.”
Germany: “Michael Bodenheimer.”
The meeting between the Prime Minister and the Director drew to a close. Unbeknownst to either man, they had set in motion what would become the best-documented state-sponsored Jewish assassination in history.
Best-documented to the public that is.
Inside the Jewish establishment, selected Gentiles have long been privy to the precise details of many killings such as this.
Note
1. There was no trial; hard facts were never adduced in the light of day.
2. Hamas: A Gaza-based Palestinian social services, political, and revolutionary organization that combines Palestinian nationalism with Sunni Islamic fundamentalism. Gaza: A tiny strip of territory in the southwest corner of Israel disputed by Palestinians and Jews. Al-Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran: The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is an elite force distinct from the Iranian military. Its task is to safeguard the country’s revolution and Shia Islamic system. The Quds force is the operations arm of the Corps outside Iran.
