"Jordan seeks return of Dead Sea Scrolls" by Associated Press | January 15, 2010
AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan’s tourism minister said yesterday that her country was seeking the help of Western nations to regain possession of the Dead Sea Scrolls Israel seized from a Jerusalem museum during the 1967 Mideast war.
It's been 43 years?
Maha Khatib said Jordan has given up hope that Israel would give back the more than 2,000-year-old scrolls and now hoped Western nations would return them to the Arab kingdom when they host them in exhibitions.
I would, too; they never give back anything .
But no preconditions.
So what lies is the Jewish state covering up now?
Israel rejected the Jordanian claim to the scrolls, which include the earliest known version of portions of the Hebrew Bible and have shed important light on Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity. Their origin is the subject of heated academic debate....
Seems like that happens EVERY TIME Israel is involved with anything, doesn't it?
And the Jewish state covering up it's KHAZARIAN ROOTS to CLAIM BIBLICAL LINKAGE when it its the PALESTINIAN GENETIC CODE that is closer to the original inhabitants doesn't make anyone fel any better about this.
Here's the last you heard about Jordan, btw:
"CIA bomber coerced to work for Jordan spy agency" by Jamal Halaby, Associated Press Writer | January 5, 2010
So he was TORTURED to make him "cooperate?"
No wonder he CHOSE HIS MOMENT!
He KILLED his TORTURER, didn't he?
ZARQA, Jordan --The suspected Jordanian double agent who killed seven CIA officers in Afghanistan was thrown into jail by Jordanian intelligence to coerce him to track down al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Mideast counterterrorism officials said Tuesday.
The 32-year-old doctor's allegiance was to al-Qaida from the start, however, and not to his Jordanian recruiters or their CIA friends -- and it never wavered, a Middle East counterterrorism official told The Associated Press.
Okay, ABOVE it says 36-years old, so WTF, CIA?
You CAN'T EVEN GET the AGE RIGHT?
He and two other counterterrorism officials gave identical accounts of how and when Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi was recruited....
And THAT is NEVER a GOOD SIGN because it SHOWS COLLABORATION and GETTING YOUR STORIES STRAIGHT, right?
All four spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on matters involving the CIA and Jordan's national security. Family and friends said al-Balawi, a father of two young daughters, had practiced medicine in a clinic at a Palestinian refugee camp near Zarqa, the hometown of slain al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
There you go!
Yup, *ew media tries to drag Palestinians into it!
Remember when the first claims to 9/11 were allegedly from a Palestinian group?
Turned out to be bogus, but PATTERN ESTABLISHED!!!
One high school classmate, Mohammed Yousef, described al-Balawi as "brilliant," well-spoken and well-mannered, though he kept mostly to himself and did not mingle much with relatives or friends. The doctor also spoke openly about wanting to die in a holy war, Yousef said, adding that in Internet postings he called tirelessly for jihad against Israel and the United States....
PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT!!!!!
Was it from Texas or Maryland?

New York Times Admits War on Terror is U.S. Creation
Jordanian intelligence was aware of these provocative statements when they arrested al-Balawi last March after he signed up for a humanitarian mission to the Gaza Strip with a Jordanian field hospital in the wake of Israel's offensive there, the counterterrorism officials said.
Oh, yeah, then he certainly was a "terrorist," wanting to help those poor people.
Al-Balawi was jailed for three days and shortly after that, he secretly left his native Jordan for Afghanistan, they said, suggesting he had agreed to take on the mission against al-Qaida.
Once in Afghanistan, al-Balawi provided valuable intelligence information that helped foil al-Qaida terror plots on Jordan, the officials said. His Jordanian recruiters then offered al-Balawi to their CIA allies.... On Dec. 30, the Jordanian was invited to Camp Chapman, a tightly secured CIA forward base in Khost province on the fractious Afghan-Pakistan frontier, according to a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a foreign government official.
He was not closely searched, according to former and current U.S. intelligence officials, apparently because of his perceived value as someone who could lead American forces to senior al-Qaida leaders. Shortly after the debriefing began, al-Balawi set off his explosives, a former U.S. intelligence official said. The blast killed seven CIA employees and Ali bin Zaid, a senior Jordanian intelligence officer and relative of Jordan's King Abdullah II....
A Jordanian official denied al-Balawi was a double agent, saying he was a sometime contact of Jordanian intelligence who had no formal role as an intelligence officer. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the government's sensitive intelligence contacts.... Still, the case raises uneasy questions about how the CIA could have been duped for so long.
PFFFFFFFFTTT!
A U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday the danger of using informants is inherent but unavoidable. He said intelligence agencies have to rely on unsavory individuals to penetrate terrorist groups because no one else has the access.....
They ARE unsavory individuals!
And what my printed paper whacked:
Questions also remain about why the bomber was not searched for weapons or explosives prior to his meeting with CIA officers, which is standard protocol even for visiting dignitaries, said a senior foreign government official and more than a dozen former CIA officers....
Yeah, now THAT REALLY STINKS!!!
Former CIA officers said the large group and failure to screen for a bomb suggest a lapse in what the CIA calls "tradecraft" -- standard operating procedures meant to maximize security, secrecy and intelligence gathering.
That statement makes me sick. Crafts are things you make for a summer fair, not slaughtering innocent men, women, and children with drone attacks.
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed they used a turncoat CIA operative to carry out the attack, saying it was in revenge for a top militant leader's death in a U.S. missile strike. It was impossible to verify the claim independently, but it is highly unusual for the Pakistani Taliban to claim credit for an attack in Afghanistan....
Then I'M DOUBTING IT WAS THEM!
Jordan has a vested interest to fight al-Qaida, which has plotted several deadly attacks against the pro-U.S. Arab kingdom.... The bombing of the CIA base was an embarrassment for Jordan. The country's pro-U.S. government has gone to great lengths to conceal its connection with the attack on the CIA to avoid angering Arabs already disgruntled with Washington's Mideast policy, which they regard as biased in favor of Israel.
Which it is, big-time!
Al-Balawi came from a nomadic Bedouin clan from Tabuk, in western Saudi Arabia, which has branches in Jordan and the West Bank. He was born in Kuwait in 1977 to a middle-class family of nine other children, including an identical twin brother. He lived there until Iraq's 1990 invasion of the rich Gulf nation when the family moved to Jordan. He graduated with honors from an Amman high school and studied medicine in Turkey.
Yup, your "doctor" terrorist.
So when did Ultra or Bluebird get to him, huh?

"Battle over Kafka’s letters and notebooks takes surreal legal twist" by Howard Schneider, Washington Post | January 17, 2010
TEL AVIV, Israel - Franz Kafka’s name is synonymous with mind-numbing bureaucracy, and even 85 years after his death, it’s easy to see why....
Aaaah! Kafka ka-ka all over my Sunday Globe.
A legal dispute pitting Israel against the heirs of Kafka’s literary executor and putting the nation in competition with a German archive in a battle that comes with mystery, including tales of a secret Swiss safe. The papers are in at least a half-dozen bank boxes in Tel Aviv and Switzerland and may - or may not - contain unpublicized letters and writings by Kafka, a Czechoslovakian Jew and seminal figure in 20th-century culture. No matter what they include, academics consider them a literary gold mine....
Why does Israel always hide and steal s***?
And the unending Jewish self-promotion of the papers -- a bit much on a Christian day of worship, doncha think?
Government archivists in Israel want to inspect the papers and, they hope, eventually possess and keep them out of the hands of a competing German archive, which is seeking to purchase them from Brod’s estate.
That DOES SEEM to be an ANNOYING PATTERN with them, doesn't it?
The documents “are valuable for the history of the Jewish people and the State,’’ said a statement by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which oversees the Israeli state archives. “The State Archivist is of the opinion that it is better that these materials not be removed outside of Israel.’’
Those materials are now under the authority of an Israeli family-court judge trying to disentangle what has been, in effect, a 40-year-long dispute over Kafka’s literary executor, Max Brod’s will....
Can't like, the U.N or some third-country handle this? Sort of a conflict of interest to have the state of Israel do it.
Besides, Palestinians were in line first; their beef at least 62 years old now, if not longer.
When Brod died in 1968, he left his papers in the possession of his long-time secretary and friend, Esther Hoffe, and when she died two years ago, they came into the hands of her daughters, Eva and Ruth. The Hoffes say the documents are the private property of the family; the Israeli government asserts that Brod intended for Esther Hoffe to transfer the papers to a public archive, such as a university or library in Israel.
So they can hide what, huh?
"'Kafka's lifelong dream was to make aliyah'
.... Kafka scholar Mark Gelber, a professor at Ben Gurion University told New York Times that the writer's "intimate connections to Zionism and Jews" was among the prime reasons his lost writings should remain in Israel. "This material belongs in Jerusalem," he was quoted as saying. "Brod became a Zionist before the First World War, lived and worked here and is buried here. Less well known is the fact that Kafka was a totally engaged Jewish personality and writer with many intimate connections to Zionism and Jews."
No, because if that were the case, the Zionist would be showing the stuff off. It's always the same thing with these concealing creeps.
But in his new book, "The Tremendous World I Have Inside My Head: Franz Kafka: A Biographical Essay," Louis Begley posits that despite the writer's preoccupation with his Jewish identity, he was neither a Zionist nor an active member of the Jewish community. "I admire Zionism and am nauseated by it," Mr. Begley quotes from Kafka.
Oh, YES, NOW we see why THESE NOTES must be kept in Israel.
Yes, indeed!!!
Gelber and other Kafka scholars say, however, that Kafka was not only devoted to Zionism and the study of Hebrew, but possessed a
life-long dream to move to Israel.
But he never got around to it, huh?
Those arguing on behalf of Kafka's devotion to Judaism hope his works will stay in Israel to be included in the Zionist archives, but as of yet, the fate of this piece of his legacy remains unresolved.
And probably will for a long time.
--more--"
A similar challenge by the government in the early 1970s failed. Now that Esther Hoffe is dead, the state has intervened again....
Yeah, everybody knows about the famous NaZionist relentlessness.
Brod arrived in Israel in the late 1930s....
fled the Nazis....
The who?
Nazis....
Oh, yeah, them.
How long ago was that now?
Who lines up with a loser after 60+ years, anyway?
