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".

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.
