The statement below is opinion from Chuck Fall, TAP Board member and president of TAP.

TAP recognizes that for such a small country, Israel wields an inordinate amount of influence within the United States government. This shows up in wide reaching influence from the American / Israeli political action committee wherein every Federal representatives and senators each has an AIPAC handler); influence shows up in the high number of dual-Israeli / USA passport holders in state offices, and in the “special relationship” that provides Israel billions in military aid every year.

And now the USA is complicit in the Gaza genocide on account of its unmitigated support for Israel.

Truth Action Project stands in solidarity with all the people of the middle east to live in peace, with the freedom to travel and work and study, and live in a society that follows humanitarian / egalitarian values and respects the universal declaration of human rights.

All people have a “right” to live where they are born, and displacement of people violates basic human rights and needs to stop.

TAP finds that Israel, as a national entity, is a project of the Anglo-American NATO alliance, and qualifies as a western stronghold in the Middle East. Israel and the USA are joined at the hip as it were, and both are owned by the billionaires. The critical point is that there is a global, transnational plutocracy that transcends all nation states, but in the case of Israel, is tied to the Anglo-American power structure that is tethered to the banking system.

In the case of Israel, Zionism, a nationalist ideology for a Jewish state in Palestine, deserves condemnation on account it rationalizes genocide and ethnic cleansing, and the displacement of the Arabic population. They do this under the false claim that displacing Palestinians is necessary to make Israeli people safe from Palestinian terrorists.
Israel was created by the Billionaires. The idea for the state of Israel did not come organically from the Jewish grass roots, but was a European invention of the British / Anglo American billionaire class. The purpose for Israel was to insinuate a western oriented client state to advance the western empire project in the middle east. The Zionist explanation for the creation of Israel is to provide Jews a homeland in which can never be another holocaust.

Meanwhile, Israel was initiated as a national possibility in the mid to late 1800’s by European Jews who used the idea of a return to Israel to cover what is really a European colonial project. Functionally, Israel, as a Zionist state, serves a military purpose for the USA / Anglo Atlantic Western power structure.

TAP accepts that power is based in the control of money and wealth (banking and business entities) and the agencies of state, especially the national security agencies. Israel is as controlled by the billionaire elite as are the people of Europe, the UK, the US and other nations.

TAP does not accept that a Jewish elite holds the ultimate power that runs the world. We remain agnostic relative to claiming to know exactly the nature of the power elite that pull the strings of power.

It is a distraction to the fact of ruling class domination in the USA, Europe and Israel to claim that an alleged cabal of Jews secretly runs the USA through a Zionist occupied government. TAP does not endorse this position. However, as stated, Israel yields an inordinate amount of power, beyond a doubt.

Any multigenerational conflict will be decided by demographics. Any population targeted for extermination will increase it‘s birthrate. The Palestinians have one of the highest birthrates in the world. If the Palestinians continue to increase their numbers, they will achieve a political majority in the state of Greater Israel. If Israel wants to stay a democracy, there will be a future Palestinian Prime Minster of Israel. This is unacceptable to Zionist ideologues in Israel.

Zionist solutions to the increased Palestinian birth rate are genocide, ethnic cleansing, and expulsion.

What happened on Oct 7, 2023?

Israel is considered to have one of the best intelligence services in the world. This intelligence service would understandably focus on Gaza. It is difficult to believe anything could happen in Gaza without Israeli knowledge. Israel has absolute control over all of Gaza’s borders. It is hard to believe any weapons could enter Gaza without Israeli knowledge.

With the modern Israeli surveillance system, how could anything happen in Gaza without Israeli knowledge?

There was a 6 hour stand down order to defend the villages that were raided on October 7 by Hamas. The attack was like the September 11th attack on the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center. The authorities knew before hand the attacks would occur and in effect stood down to allow hostage taking.

The USA and Israel used the attacks to create a terrorist bogey man enemy to galvanize the country to go to war. When governments want to do something unpopular, they resort to false flags to create popular support for what would otherwise be unpopular government action. On the issue of the October 7th surprise attack by Hamas on Israeli villages near Gaza: it was a false flag event. It was not a surprise to Israeli Mossad.

Israel has used the 10/7 attack to rationalize the complete destruction of Gaza. 10/7 was somehow contrived to give Israel a reason to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.

Meanwhile, International justice agencies have condemned Israel for genocide. The mass starvation of the Gazan population shows beyond a doubt that Israelis are committing genocide.

The USA is complicit in genocide. The “special relationship” between Israel and the USA national security establishment must end.

We call for the American Israel political action committee (AIPAC) to be recognized as a foreign influence operation and be barred from lobbying members of Congress.

We call for employees of the US government to have only one passport, be a citizen of the USA, so there is no doubt about allegiance to the USA. We support legislation that would bar duo-passport holders from holding office and / or seats in government agencies.

Finally, denouncing Israel and calling for Divestment and Boycott and Sanction of Israeli industry and business and stock market holdings is a free speech right that cannot be abrogated by presidential decree or federal law.

Legislators who have accepted AIPAC campaign finance contributions, and voted to finance Israeli military at the time of the Gazan genocide, should be scrutinized for complicity in Palestinian genocide in the Gaza annihilation, and be subject to prosecution for aiding and abetting a war crime / act of genocide / mass starvation.

In the end, to solve the problem of state crimes like the 9/11 event and more recently, the Israeli annihilation of Gaza, and 10/7, TAP acknowledges that we the people must build a mass movement with the express purpose of removing the super rich ( the .01% that control deep state and continuity of government actors) from power, for they, the power elite, ultimately bear responsibility for actions of state in the matter of September 11th, and more recently the Gaza genocide.

A stated intention to remove the super rich that operate the deep state from power, sets for the truth movement its North Star, so we the people can elect people with integrity into office, advance grand jury investigations through appeals to our state attorney generals, and take other actions, to clear out the corruption that is endemic to Congress.

Moreover, Israel cannot / should not profit from the Gaza genocide. The only justice that makes sense is for Israel to become a union of all people living within its borders, organized as a confederation, as a secular state, that affords basic human rights for all, and is built on egalitarian principles and real democracy. A “two state solution” is code word for apartheid for Palestinian people.

In closing, there is no justifiable reason for Israel to conduct ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank. To understand Israeli belligerence against Gaza and the West Bank we only need look at the American ethnic cleansing of the “civilized tribes” out of the SE USA in the 1830 – 1840, called the Trail of Tears, from the journey native Americans traveled from the SE to Oklahoma territory west of the Mississippi. The evil behind expelling ‘civilized’ tribes is the same evil present in the Israeli annihilation of Gaza.

As a measure of American blood lust to dominate (like the israelis show), the United States Supreme Court held in favor of the tribes, recognizing they had rights to their land holdings in the Southern states. But it was Andrew Jackson, as President, who ignored the SCOTUS and defied them and carried out an ethnic cleansing campaign of the Cherokee and other tribes.

Israel is carrying out a “trail of tears” that has no exit for Palestinians. As we post this, President Trump has pressed Israel into a “ceasefire in exchange for prisoners” but the future remains opaque relative to the future of Gaza and an actual peace.

No matter what historical parallel we may cite, Israel is beyond a doubt carrying out an ambitious plan to secure western hegemony over the middle east. TAP opposes crimes by the state, and the United States imperial project. Visit The Truth Movement Can Lead on Israel – Palestine Peace Possibilities for more information.

After thoughts are the opinion of Chuck Fall and not a TAP Board of Directors statement:
Some in the political truth movement have focused on Israel as the tail that wags the American dog. They claim that Israel / Zionists / Jews are the puppet master of USA deep state and caused 9/11. TAP, as an organization, does not endorse this perspective. We do not subscribe to theories of a Zionist occupied government, nor of a Jewish conspiracy to control government secretly.

In terms of power structure, TAP is agnostic on who or what is the ultimate power holder, puppet master, of the global power structure. Catherine Austin Fitts has said, if you can name them, they are not the deep plutocracy. But those that are known are fair game for criminal prosecution.

In the case of the September 11th “attacks” on the world Trade Center and the Pentagon, identifiable people should be held to account like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Bob Mueller, Michael Chertoff, and a host of others who conspired in a grand web of treason to harm the American people and the republic for which we stand.

Meanwhile, TAP subscribes to a theory of political power that holds that a plutocratic elite is real, and is historically situated in the banking cartels and in private equity, and corporations; the problem of a ruling power structure is not the ethnicity or the religious affiliation of the powerful, the problem is that the powerful have the capacity to exercise the power at all.

We find Whitney Webb’s characterization of the powerful as like the mob, or mafia, is apt. Indeed, Michael Parenti, a hard critic of the ruling class, used the term “gangster state” to characterize how the USA functions internationally, and even domestically.

As critics of the big lies, TAP endeavors to advance a criticism of Israel that is above reproach. We strive for a clinical and detached perspective on power and its use. Our criticism targets the behavior and not the ethnicity of the powerful.

We encourage words like plutocracy, oligarchy, predator class, power elite, ruling class, trans-national Globalist elite, to describe the powerful dominator class. These words have no ethnic connotation and name the problem. We recognize that non-government entities, equity funds, and corporations are elements in the network of the power class.

The opposite of plutocratic power is people power. TAP recognizes that we need a democracy movement of the people and by the people to restore integrity to our republic which is corrupted by plutocratic control.

The problem of Israel as a cruel power structure in the Middle East must be confronted.

TAP accepts that Zionism is a nationalist Jewish political ideology that has made Israel into an ethno-state that has built an apartheid system, following a settler-colonial model.

But the Billionaires in the Anglo-American power structure enabled Israel, in effect, brought Israel into being.

Through Israel, the western plutocracy entrenches western power in the region.

Israel is carrying out the Gaza genocide based on a big lie that killing Palestinians is necessary to protect Israelis from Hamas terrorists. Israeli war crimes show up in the utter destruction of civilian sites; the mass starvation is proof of genocide. The disproportionate use of force belies the claim that the destruction is necessary to make Israelis safe from Hamas terrorists. The Israeli demonization of Arabs creates a bogey-man enemy that the (plutocrats) Zionists use to keep the Israeli people in a state of terror.

Early history of Israel: Israel was advanced in the late 1800’s as a European invention to insinuate a Western state power in the Middle East.

Israel, as a Zionist entity, serves as a soldier for the USA / Anglo Atlantic Western imperialistic power structure, and now, with the Gaza genocide, it shows how cruel they are; devoid of any humanity.

Israel’s special relationship with the USA starts at least with CIA agent Angleton setting up Mossad. However, in 1965 when Israel attacked and attempted to sink the USS Liberty, President Lyndon B. Johnson quashed any investigation. The Israelis were never held to account for the attack on the USS Liberty. And, Israel was permitted to develop a nuclear weapon, among other favors.

Moreover, Israel had prior knowledge of the September 11th, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers evidenced by Israelis arrested for behaving suspiciously, observing with a video camera the Twin Towers before they disintegrated. Later, one of the Israeli confessed to an Israeli journalist that he was there with others to “document the event.”

Four Israelis were apprehended by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents on suspicion of having knowledge of Twin Towers’ attack. They were held for several months, then quietly released into Israeli custody. Later one of the Israelis held told a journalist that he was there, in New Jersey, to video record the Towers’ collapse, admitting foreknowledge. This must be investigated, and demonstrates Israeli complicity in the 9/11 events.
