The Israel/India Alliance
January 6, 2010 by Jeff Gates · 28 Comments
Below is the fourth installment in a 5-part series regarding Pakistan
In April 2009, Tel Aviv signed a $1.1 billion agreement to provide New Delhi an advanced tactical air defense system developed by Raytheon, a U.S. defense contractor. That agreement confirmed what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier announced: “Our ties with India don’t have any limitation….”
In May 2009, Israel delivered to India the first of three Phalcon Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) shifting the balance of conventional weapons in the region by giving India air dominance over Pakistan.
Israel has overtaken Russia as India’s chief arms supplier as New Delhi announced $50 billion in defense modernization outlays from 2007 to 2012. The fast emerging fact patterns suggest there is far more implied for Pakistan in this “special defense relationship” than meets the eye.
In August 2008, Ashkenazim General David Kezerashvili returned to his native Georgia from Tel Aviv to lead an assault on separatists in South Ossetia with the support of Tel Aviv-provided arms and military training provided by Israel Defense Forces. That crisis ignited Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Russia, key members of the Quartet (along with the EU and the UN) pledged to resolve the six-decade Israel-Palestine conflict.
Little was reported in mainstream media about the Israeli interest in a pipeline across Georgia meant to move Caspian oil through Turkey and on to Eurasia with Tel Aviv a profit-extracting intermediary undercutting Russia’s oil industry. Nor did mainstream media report on the self-reinforcing nature of serial well-timed crises that emerged in a compressed time frame.
For example, on August 7, 2008, the ruling coalition led by Asif Ali Zarderi called for a no-confidence vote in Parliament on president Pervez Musharraf just as he was scheduled to depart for the Summer Olympics in Beijing. On August 8, heavy fighting erupted overnight in South Ossetia while the heads of state of both Russia and the U.S. were in Beijing.
What other crises were then unfolding? But for pro-Israeli influence inside the U.S. government, would our State Department have backed the corrupt Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, leading to record-level poppy production involving Karzai’s brother? Is the heroin epidemic presently eroding Russian society traceable to Israel’s fabled game theory war-planners who are infamous for disabling their targets from the inside out?
Three months after the crisis in Georgia, a terrorist attack in Mumbai renewed fears of nuclear tension between India and Pakistan. When the Mumbai attackers struck a hostel managed by Chabad Lubavitch, an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect from New York, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced from Tel Aviv: “Our world is under attack.”
See: “Israel and 9-11”
By early December, Jewish journalists were arguing that Israel must “fortify the security of Jewish institutions worldwide.” In the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security continued its policy of dispersing U.S. taxpayer funds to protect synagogues and Jewish community centers.
Pre-Staged Plausibility
Soon after “India’s 9-11” was found to include personnel recruited from Pakistan’s western tribal region, President Zardari announced an agreement with Taliban tribal chiefs to allow Sharia law to govern a swath of the North West Frontier Province where Al Qaeda members reportedly reside.
The perception of Pakistani cooperation with “Islamic extremists” created the impression of enhanced insecurity and vulnerability for the U.S. and its allies. That perceived threat was widely reported by mainstream media as proof of the imminent perils of “militant Islam.”
With religious extremists portrayed as operating freely in a nuclear-armed Islamic state, Tel Aviv gained traction for its claim that a nuclear-Islamic Tehran posed an “existential threat” to the Jewish state. Meanwhile Israel’s election of an ultra-nationalist governing coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu further delayed resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
More delay ensured more extremism and gained more media traction for those marketing a perpetual “global war on terrorism” and its thematic counterpart, The Clash of Civilizations. After the assault in Mumbai, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni argued: “Israel, India and the rest of the free world are positioned in the forefront of the battle against terrorists and extremism.” By its exclusion, Pakistan was implicated as harboring terrorists.
Few Americans understand that Pakistan is dominantly Sunni and, unlike Iran’s Shi’a, abhors theocratic rule and the religious extremism common to Al Qaeda as well as the assorted strains of fundamentalism found among the Taliban. Game theory war planning suggests that Pakistan, not India, was the target of India’s 9-11. As with our 9-11, the strategic objective was not the event itself but the anticipated reaction—and the reactions to that reaction.
Advised by legions of Ashkenazim, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s October 2009 mission to Pakistan was a diplomatic disaster. Right on cue, a terrorist attack in Peshwar killed dozens just as she arrived in Islamabad. Abrasive, arrogant and aloof, our top diplomat reinforced Pakistani concerns that their nation is surrounded by hostile forces.
Clinton’s behavior fueled fears that the government of Pakistan is being set up for portrayal as a “failed state” by ultra-nationalist Jewish advisers to a nation—the U.S.—it has long considered a friend. When Barack Obama hosted the prime minister of India for his first state dinner, the anxiety level in Pakistan was heightened—particularly among those familiar with the dominance of Ashkenazi advisers in the Obama White House.
Societal Conflict—By Consensus
Meanwhile, India’s oligarchs continued to amass wealth and influence at a record pace as the caste system maintained its stranglehold on Hindu society. By 2007, India’s 40 billionaires had amassed a combined wealth of $351 billion, up from a combined wealth of $170 billion just since 2006. Though New Delhi cites the success of its high-tech sector and its “Bollywood” film industry as signs of a burgeoning middle class, the reality is far from reassuring.
As in Russia where the wealth from privatization migrated to a small cadre of dominantly Ashkenazi oligarchs, a similar oligarch-ization is ongoing in India. While maintaining a vast underclass of “untouchables” mired in grinding poverty, India’s policy making elite gravitated to an economic model that traces its U.S. roots to the University of Chicago where Barack Obama taught for 11 years while he was being groomed for political office.
The “Chicago Model” advances in plain sight behind an implied assumption that financial freedom is an appropriate proxy for personal freedom. Despite facts confirming that wealth and income are concentrating at record rates worldwide, this “consensus” model insists that nations vest their faith in the infallibility of unfettered financial markets.
As that finance-fixated mindset morphed into the “Washington” consensus, the U.S.-dominated international financial institutions imbedded this narrow worldview in law worldwide. As with ordinary Russians, ordinary Indians see their rising prosperity dominated by an caste oligarchy that steadily amasses outsized wealth along with disproportionate political influence.
As wealth concentrates, democracies become unworkable; as income concentrates, markets become unsustainable. Those profiled in Guilt By Association and the forthcoming Criminal State series are skilled in displacing facts with what targeted populations can be deceived to believe. Today’s money-myopic “consensus” traces its roots to a subculture within a subculture within a subculture whose belief in the unbridled pursuit of money preempts all other values.
The India-Israel alliance has inflicted on the economy of India the same paradigm that is systematically disabling the U.S. economy—from the inside out—while creating record gaps in wealth and income. Pakistan has an opportunity to resist the embrace of this flawed model and, by so doing, inspire other nations—including the U.S.—to devise a sensible path forward.
Next in the series: When Will Israel Assassinate Barack Obama?
According to the Press Trust of India (PTI) – Seven Indian states (Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bihar, Orrisa, Andhra Pradesh, Chatisgarth and Jharkhand) have selected 30 senior officers for a special task force to deal with current Moist groups fighting against New Delhi. These police officers will go through a 30-day training at Ghatsila (Jharkhand). The instructors include Israeli experts (Massad, Sayeret Matkal, Shin Bet, Yamam, etc.)on so-called ’counter-terrorism’. Knowing the past record of these Israeli terrorist agencies in the assassinations of the US, European and Muslim leaders – one would not be wrong to guess that ‘task’ of the 30 Indian officers would also include the target assassination of Moist leadership. Israeli sources have confirmed that the current Israeli ‘assassination list’ includes Iranian president Ahmadinejad, Turkish prime minister Erdogan, Venezuela president Hugo Chavez, Hizb’Allah leaders Sheikh Nasrallah and Hamas’ leader Mishaal. Israel’s has just assassinated one of the founder of Hamas’ miltary wing, IZZ al-Din Qassam Brigades, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. Israel did not even spared its fellow Jewish US ambassador to Lebanon, John Gunther Dean, during 1978-81 (both parents Jewish), because he was against Israeli attack on Lebanon…….

India is foolish to trust the Israelis- they will just use the Indian soldiers to fight another proxy-war for Israel. We were stupid enough to send our boys to Iraq as canon fodder for the insatiable Israeli War Crimes Machine. Israelis only care about Israelis and their own Zionist-Traitor loyalists.

Public opinion in India is quickly swaying towards Israel and most Indians admire pro-active approach to take out its enemies. The recent survey conducted in the name:Branding Israel shows that India is the most pro-Israel nation in the world surpassing even the US. India, no matter is a tolerant nation but needs to protect its citizens,who are living under the virtual fear of terror strikes. This change of public opinion is causing the politicos to publicly flaunt the affair with Israel which was until now kept a secret ,the admiration for Israel not extending beyond the defense forces until recently. The voices of pro-Palestine India is fading and is changing to pro-Israel. Israel may not the best of friends India should keep,but for the moment, this friendship is rightly the need of the hour.

Please read the recent 7-part series on Pakistan for a contrary interpretation of events in the region and the likelihood that India will rue the day that it formed a “special relationship” with Israel.

Thanks for your comment. Though I understand the sentiment, that’s easier said than done when other nations are poking their noses into Pakistan’s business.

The article was interesting but there was a flaw in its reasoning where India is concerned. The caste system is to a degree important in social alliances but when it comes to the business world and politics, the caste system has taken a back seat to money power. None of the richest Indians is from the top caste. A few of them come from lower castes and a few of the richest Indians are Muslim and many are non-Hindu (Zorastrians, Jains). Similarly in politics, most of the states are now ruled by former backward castes and there has been such a reversal in a couple of states that now the former top castes are now at the bottom of the economic ladder. In the entertainment world, most of the highest paid entertainers are Muslim and backward castes. In sports, most of the top earning atheletes are Christian, Muslim or backward caste Hindus. India has 160 million Muslims and only Indonesia and Pakistan have a larger Muslim population among all the Muslim countries in the world. So to focus on the caste issue as the dominant factor in politics and business is to misunderstand the profound changes underway in India. Similar to China, India is undergoing a mass transformation and there are major changes happening on almost a daily basis. The argument used by Mr. Gates would have been more appropriate of the India of a couple of decades ago,

Thanks for that helpful and informative comment. Much appreciate it. The real point here is that the “Washington” consensus creates oligarchies wherever it operates, as chronicled in Chapter 6 of Guilt By Association. The identical process concentrating wealth and income in India is having the same impact in China, Indonesia, Thailand and so forth. I hope you enjoy the book. And, again, thanks.

@John Smith. All rich indians are from upper caste,barring few non-Hindus who can be counted on finger tips.Most of rich businessmen,industrialists are Vaish.Name a single Dalit who owns a big industry.Entertainer,just three or four,could be highest paid Muslims,but have you gone through Sachar Commitee report?Every day changes are taking place,no doubt.Number of billioniares has gone up,extremely poors are poor and 77 percent population live on $0.4 a day.

The members of Hindu upper-class (Brahmin) are like Jewish rabbis and they have never been part of Hindu business community. No Indian state is governed by non-Hindu leader. No low-caste Hindu has ever been allowed to become prime minister of India, though one of Congress Party president was from Dalit community but he was overpassed by Dr. Morarji Desai as the prme minister of India.
At a recent meeting the United Nations Human Right Council, to the much dismay of HinduFascist groups (Hindutva) – has passed a resolution, equated Hindu caste system with “discrimination and violation of human rights”.

Israel is very active in India and its activities have been challenged by many Indian government officials, politicians and security officials.

Indians(Hindus and Christians mostly) are generally clueless about Israel and admire the way they carry out genocide in Palestine. Indians are extremely naive and childlike when it comes to their understanding international politics.
Indians admire the oligarchs and don’t mind living a pitiful existence in virtual slavery. The country is in a total mess yet people still believe that India is ‘shining’ because half assed journalists and corrupt politicians tell them so.
Indians cannot tolerate criticism of the country either. The standard reply is – “If you don’t like it, get the —- out”. Indians do not have a sense of humour either about themselves or their country.
India is headed for disaster.. yes there will be quite a few millionaires and billionaires – but the vast majority don’t realize where the country is headed.
Jai HO!

Dear Mr. Gates:
Mr. Dsouza apparently believes that there is something (supernatural?) about the State of Israel that causes progress and prosperity for any nation wise enough to realize Israel’s extraordinary nature and engage it. Apparently, to Mr. Dsouza’s mind, the United States was a backwater prior to its recognition of Israel in 1948. Winning World War II? Well, that apparently was a fluke. The belief of most Americans of a certain age that their country has been going straight to hell in the proverbial handbasket for two or three generations? Simple dementia, apparently…. Mr. Dsouza similarly feels that India’s rise in recent years is a result of its realization that engaging the State of Israel is the golden ticket to national progress and prosperity. (I assume from his surname that Mr. Dsouza has more than a passing familiarity with the Subcontinent. Whether his request is directed toward New Delhi, Washington, or some other capital that has yet to see the light of Zionist engagement, one may only speculate, absent a clarification from Mr. Dsouza himself.) F.W.I.W.

You right Mr. Gates; this guy doesn’t make any sense at all. Most probably he is writing for the fun of it.

Mr. DSouza is a Christian and is probably from Goa (am I right Mr. DSouza?). Israelis (taking a two year sabbatical after two years of compulsory military service) account for a huge amount of tourism in that state. Goan locals wouldn’t actually suffer if Israelis didn’t visit but foreigners are generally preferred customers (even though they are low budget tourists). And then again, people are generally ignorant and uninformed all over India about the atrocities Israelis commit on a daily basis. Many who do know actually admire their murderous ways – this I’ve noticed across all levels of society within India. ‘Your enemies enemy is your best friend’ they say, but Israel doesn’t care about friends. Indians don’t realize this.

Mr. Gates, your articles have been very insightful about the power relationship in the US,and how the US leaders are being controlled by Zionist money, coercion and threat. As casual observer of politics from Europe, I have noticed this domination of Jewish influence on the US and UK. Yes, India is currently pro Israel, but when the British were here, the same clique who controlled British East India company, and later on the Viceroy of India, Mountbatten and his wife Edwina, are close to the UK oligarchy which is essentially Jewish.
My analysis is Indian leaders at the top do not distinguish Israel and other European country. Indians lack a sense of self esteem when confonted by (white/caucasian) people. My point for stating this is because India is close to Russia. Russia has long been a zionist country. Indians (the Brahmin and the upper castes) who dominate the Indian politics and business think of themselves as Aryan descendents. That Aryan theory was again a fraud creatded by the British, to manipulate the Indians 200 years ago so they will not be hostile to the British (As Brits are white Aryans). At the heart is this Ashkenazi manipulation of India through Aryan theory 200 years ago, which still continues today.
Tata the industrialist is advised by the Rothschilds, so do the Birlas and Lakshmi Mittal. I believe the Rothschilds may already have stakes in Indian corporations thorough intermediaries. I am not suprised of the current charm offensive towards India. India is very corrupt and pliable to money.

Dear Jeff,
An interesting read & a very good article. Let me cite a recent example – Flotilla. Everyone saw what israeli terrorists did.
Now coming back to the alliance. My enemy’s enemy is my best friend. A very famous saying amongst the Pashtuns, who have, proudly since Alexander’s era, have never been ruled. But in their books, all these alliances, have come to a miserable end, resulting in death to both the original enemies.
Pakistan as we know is not a sublime country, yes it has an incompetent, corrupt & weak government; which will definitely be overturned soon. This is a different debate, let’s not get into this. I brought this fact, so as to highlight that Pakistan has been suffering from cross border terrorism, since 1947, from India. They have attacked Pakistan two times, resulting in bangladesh. Alex Jones has time & again mentioned the malicious intentions of india in his radio show. Let me reiterate that india is not even a close resemblance of USA, so if it thinks it can have all the israeli weapons & attack us, or even think of annihilating us…it shouldn’t because we are not afghanistan, & we did not make the nuclear bomb for boasting our capabilities. We just made it to thwart any harmful intentions from our neighbor india.
This is a scorpion-centipede alliance, which we know for a fact, has never exited in mother nature, never worked in the past, & never ever will work in the future.

If defending against foreign invasion is wrong, then i guess EVERY self respecting nation is guilty of it. What Israel and India do is what any two nations would do, in their best interest. Pakistan is judged by the company it keeps, of corrupt chinese generals, north korean dictators, Taliban and al quida terrorists and some of the worst perpetrators of genocide in recent history in 1971 style nation defending, self serving army generals. Rightnow the biggest and most prevalent export from Pakistan is ISLAMIC TERRORISM. And it IS ISLAMIC. Cause that’s how the support is harnessed, in the name of Islam. Islam is perfect, but the followers are NOT. They bring a bad name to a perfectly peaceful religion, so what else can anyone else look at. 2 nations that were created on the basis of religion, one is Pakistan , another one is Israel. There is nothing stopping Pakistan to influence and lead the islamic world, but alas, Pakistan’s brand of islam, is not shared or even tolerated by anyone in the islamic world. India would go where ever it needs to go, and Israel would do what it needs to do. Pakistan has taken a turn for the worst, by looking to artificially create an identity by disowning its great hindu past. It got what it wanted, now it is the same zionist and Islam hating USA and UK and other european countries, that are keeping it afloat. Jews and Hindu’s have a VERY VERY old tradition and culture. IF you call these two religions as having survived, without threatening the world peace, UNLIKE islam, where you can’t even enter the holy city, if you are not a muslim (so much for following islam) , Islam and specifically Pakistan has a lot of answering to do. Don’t blame the entire world, for all your personal faults and short comings.
Israel and India stand on their own, and no one can stop that or change that.

Did you ever set foot into the sacred places of the Jew people? Bu this I mean that if you’re not a Jew and it happens that you die in Israel, you will not be allowed to be buried there. This is just one of the many Talmudic laws to prevent Gentiles peoples from being in Israel. Regarding your statement,” Islam is perfect but the Islamic people are not,” this expression can be applied to all human beings, for as St. Paul put: “all of us fall short to the Glory of God.” Except of course if you are a Jew because, according to them they are the “elected people.” And finally a question fallows, elected by whom or who elected them?
[Reply]
Indians and Israelis should be natural friends. It’s the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” kind of thing. Hindus know firsthand of the violence associated with living amongst a large Muslim community, and they are weary of it–just like the Isrealis.

D’souza apparently does not comprehend that the US lost its innocence when it befriended Zion. Its been down hill from there ever since. Domestic productivity is decreasing but vicious appetite to make the Broader Middle East safe for its master seems to be the order of the day for the US.
The US needs to uphold its own interests in the Mid. East NOT those of Zion International Inc.

I have often noticed striking similarities between the US and India – false pride, arrogance, ignorance, greed, corruption and so on. Unfortunately India has imbibed the negative from the worst of the west.

It is impossible not to see the hypocrisy of Israel. Israel is selling to a third country USA’s technology. This’ a real proof on who calls the shots in America. I ask myself is it Israel through its powerful lobby the AIPAC who directs the foreign diplomatic policies of the USA? And if it does, military technology it must be also at its disposal. India is our best proof of the AIPAC‘s absolute power over our “we the people.” What would you say about?
[Reply]
Rodolfo – There is no doubt that major Jewish Lobby groups like AIPAC, ADL, CFR, AJC, etc. not only control US foreign policybut are also behind the current anti-Muslim hate campaign. Max Blumenthal in his recent article “The Great Islamophobic Crusade” dealt with these issues.
