MARTIN INDYK INVESTIGATION
by Emanuel A. Winston,
a Middle East analyst & commentator

American Ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, has been charged with mishandling security information by using a laptop computer considered insecure and recalled . The following outcry is that all diplomats take their work home and while traveling - just to keep up with the work load. Therefore, it must be concluded that it was not merely the act of putting classified information into the computer but the substance of that information.

Many in Israel and America have never trusted Indyk nor his intentions against Israel. Going back in time might prove revealing. In 1996, it was disclosed that Indyk was secretly involved in giving away the Golan Heights to Hafez al Assad of Syria despite Assad's repeated pledges to one day destroy Israel.

Presumably, at that time he would have been working in this direction, with Shimon Peres as well as Yossi Beilin and Dennis Ross pushing hard to force Israel back to a 1967 border line and then to the 1947 borders. Apparently, this would have involved the approval of President Clinton and the State Department under Madame Albright.

I wrote an article February 1, 1996 "Indyk Gives Away the Golan". For almost three weeks we sent advisories to the American Congress, Media and influentials, detailing all the reasons why this foreign policy would be extremely dangerous to Israel and also the America. When the hearings on the issue of the Golan were finally to take place (after the issue had been declared: "Premature for discussion" by all involved, Martin Indyk and former Israeli Ambassador Itamar Rabinovich came into the hearing room. Indyk had some articles and Email messages in his hand and declared that: "Because of Manny Winston and Murray Kahl (who puts out vast quantities of Email information revealing some of these issues) - we cannot have peace with Syria [by giving away the Golan Heights - ed. Note]". Now, what was it that we uncovered in our flooding information into the conduits of the powers-that-be? Don't know - but, so far, we still have the Golan. And some secret or secrets were almost jeopardized. Hearings were the last thing that Indyk, the State Department and the Leftist Government of Rabin, Peres, Beilin wanted.

Sen. Jesse had promised full and open hearings on the suitability of Indyk to be Ambassador to Israel in 1995. The subsequent hearings were neither open nor very deep. So, let us go back to those paper- thin hearings.

Let's begin the Indyk investigation from the office of Senator Jesse Helms and his assistant Daniella Pletka. When Indyk was being considered for office though hearings held by Sen. Helms, he was contacted by experts who wished to speak against the confirmation of Martin Indyk. But, Helms insured a soft hearing with a few witnesses. Helms' assistant Pletka, a fellow Australian and close friend of Indyk, ran the show, wrapping a protective screen around Mr. Indyk. Indyk's association with British Intelligence was not brought up and he was easily cleared for the position as Ambassador to Israel. Dennis Ross and Daniella Pletka were known to be close associates on matters concerning the Middle East. Pletka was considered a Left wing Liberal who seemed to be dedicated to blocking access to her boss, Senator Helms by those who objected to Israel's Left Wing government giveaways. Pletka was later caught on a secret trip to visit Yassir Arafat , embarrassing Helms who was considered to be "Mr. Conservative". However, he did not fire Pletka.

When Indyk was elevated to be Ambassador to Israel , another Helms hearing was to take place. This time Helms virtually disappeared, throwing the hearing to Sen. Sam Brownback, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - who was thought to be merely a soft Senator - not known for tough probing questions. Here again Pletka set up the agenda and again only softball questions were asked.

Many Middle East experts who knew that Indyk had a separate agenda were not allowed to testify. In fact, the hearings were called so suddenly that it was only by chance that anyone knew they were taking place. Indyk was to join the leftover James Baker crew (called Bakers' boys) of Dennis Ross, Aaron Miller and Daniel Kurtzer who assembled for the single purpose of assisting in the re-partition of Israel.

Clinton wanted Indyk in as his personal Dove to push through a game plan to re-partition Israel as the point man inside of Israel. Indyk became the most objectionable and provocative Ambassador that any country, let alone Israel, had to put up with. He did not even attend Israel's Independence Day celebration, which was intended as a big insult and polished his image as an Arabist working for the Arab nations. Working with Dennis Ross and the Leftist Labor Party, he undercut the political Right, in effect, becoming a spokesman for the Labor Party of Israel.

That Martin Indyk recently called for Israel to share the Temple Mount with her sworn enemies, the Palestinians under Yassir Arafat was the greatest insult of all. What are his motivations?

Indyk was, indeed, an intelligence agent in Australia (as quoted in the NEW YORK TIMES 9/23/00) as Deputy Director of Australia's Intelligence for the Middle East (1) He may have also been working for British Intelligence and brought here to the U.S., given instant citizenship, made Ambassador to Israel in order to act against Israel - now as a U.S. agent - then, indeed, let it be publicly exposed.

Let us know of his covert connections to the U.S. Government and what his total mission was to be . Let us hear of any connections he had with the CIA and President Clinton. Let us know if Dennis Ross or Daniella Pletka knew and participated in an ongoing intelligence operation against Israel. Clearly, this seems to be a closing circle connected to Arabist individuals in the U.S. Government who are comply with requests made by various Arab countries.

If Indyk and Ross, among others had a pro-Arab agenda, then let us back track this investigation to its true roots and see what exactly they have done and on whose orders. Be assured that whoever is running Indyk, they will jump in to stifle any investigation of how Indyk got his job as Ambassador to Israel - twice. What were his orders? How many controls (bosses) did he work for?

Clearly, his close linkage to Dennis Ross and Daniella Pletka should be looked into. I wonder how Sen. Jesse Helms will explain his role in slipping Indyk into the 2 positions he held inside of Israel - without questioning his unusual background..

The question of why an Australian/British Intelligence Agent was invited to America, given instant citizenship, made Ambassador to Israel in 1995 - despite valid and strenuous objections - must be looked into. His actions as an ally of the Left Wing Israeli Government and his hostility to any Right Wing opposition must also be investigated. (When Bibi Netanyahu was elected, Indyk was called back and appointed as the State Department's Deputy Director on the Near East. When Barak replaced Netanyahu, in 1999 Indyk was again appointed Ambassador to Israel - again with a 'softball question' hearing.)

Obviously Indyk, using the protective coloring as a Jew, was sent to into Israel as a Jew, but to provoke and disrupt any opposition to the re-partitioning of Israel. This was reaffirmed when he stated last week that "Jerusalem can not be under the sole sovereignty of one country (Israel); it must be shared". How ridiculous! The unified sovereignty of the Holy Jewish City as the Eternal Capital of the Jewish people for 3000+ years was always a consensus issue, even for the Left.

On a September 26th radio interview, Collete Avital, (a dedicated Leftist and former Ambassador to New York City) maintained that Barak has not crossed any 'red lines'.(3) What a distortion of truth!

As I indicated earlier, perhaps there was a loss of information which compromised President Clinton and/or the State Department in their manipulation of a hostile Foreign Policy towards Israel. It was well known that Indyk was a frequent visitor to the Gulf Nations, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman plus Egypt and Syria. (Jews aren't allowed into many of the these countries - but the State Department Jews are offered superb hospitality - for some reason.)

We have observed the secret meetings and the results of those shadowy discussions. This includes Oslo - which was kept from the Israeli people and their Knesset (Parliament) for a reason. When Yossi Beilin was asked why he and the Left had not informed the Israeli people that they were negotiating with Arafat's PLO, he simply stated: "We kept it a secret because they would have stopped us." (4) (We can vouch for the truth of this extremely bizarre admission because he said it at a Conference held at Bar Ilan for the Winston Institute for the Study of Prejudice. (He was invited against our strenuous objections but the resulting tape of his speech was priceless in its astounding revelations.)

There were other secret meetings and plans as recently as exposed in NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE: The Lost Peace Plan by Michael Hirsh, September 28. )This expose was the 1995 Yossi Beilin/Abu Mazen Plan to divide Jerusalem. The secret document was printed in full on the NEWSWEEK web site at Newsweek @msnbc.com. (4)

Here again, enter Martin Indyk, who while receiving an honor at Hebrew Union College, stated: "Jerusalem cannot be under the total sovereignty of one nation; it must be divided." This from an American Ambassador (cum agent; cum provocateur) - and a Jew. I would guess that the Mossad picked up the information from Indyk's computer and dutifully gave it over to PM/DM Ehud Barak. Barak would then have handed it over to Clinton, which may have been the REAL REASON provoking Ambassador Indyk's recall under a security breach cloud as a mere excuse to cover the more serious breach of "secret" American Foreign Policy to divide Jerusalem and put Israel's most Holy Jewish site under control the either the PLO, the Arab nations or the United Nations - all of whom have been hostile to the Jewish State to varying degrees.

While this is, of course, merely speculation based upon our personal knowledge of Indyk's previous insults, violations of proper Ambassadorial behavior, record of Indyk's interference in Israel's policies and conduct of government. And Indyk stands accused of revealing Clinton's true intentions to divest Israel of sovereignty in Jerusalem. The facts that Barak's close linkages with Beilin (now Israel's Justice Minister) and Clinton are all dedicated to following their 'secret plans' make my speculations highly probably.

I cannot help but wonder if James Baker's crew of Jewish penetrators, Ross and now Indyk, will again be retained by the incoming American President. Remember, after Bush and Baker was defeated, Rabin, Peres, Beilin asked an agreeable Clinton to return the Baker's Jewish team of Ross, Miller and Kurtzer.

If ever there was a need to lift the sewer lid that just can't stay closed on Clinton Foreign Policy maneuvers, particularly in the Middle East, now is the time - but don't count on it.
