Chapter 6 – Israel and Bio-Weapons

Larry Romanoff
In November of 1998, the Western media (London Times, Foreign Report, Wired News) [1][2][3] reported that Israel was striving to develop what they called a biological “ethno-bomb” that could specifically target Arabs by focusing on their specific genetic traits. Of course, Israel panicked and denounced the stories as “a hoax”, a “blood libel” and “a work of science fiction”, claiming the views of all researchers was that the entire idea of and ethnic bio-weapon was “wholly fantastical”. Nobody agreed with them, but a second planned installment of the article which was to contain more detailed information never appeared, and the authors have since [declined to discuss the matter further. It is not difficult to imagine the pressure that was applied. A member of the Israeli parliament denounced the Sunday Times report, stating,“Morally, based on our history, and our tradition and our experience, such a weapon is monstrous and should be denied.” But morally, based on the Jews’ history, tradition, and experience, denial is not necessarily the most appropriate response.
The news items stated from reports that Israel was attempting to develop biological weapons that would be lethal to Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected. [4][5][6]It cited both Israeli and Western intelligence sources in claiming that Jewish scientists were trying to identify “distinctive genes carried by Arabs” to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus that would attack only those cells bearing Arabic genes, and that such a weapon directed at Iraq might be only weeks away from success. The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, stated that this “ethno-bomb” program was based at the top-secret Ness Ziona germ warfare laboratory south of Tel-Aviv, and was building on its progress on South Africa’s apartheid research in which Israel actively participated. In the last stages of Zimbabwe’s war of independence, the white government of Rhodesia contaminated the population with anthrax, resulting in at least 10,000 serious illnesses and many hundreds of fatalities. There were persistent rumors for years that Israel’s military was involved in this travesty. And this would not be the first time. Dr. Daan Goosen, The head of a South African chemical and biological warfare plant, said his team was ordered in the 1980s to develop a ‘pigmentation weapon’ to target only black people. [7]
The Jews in Israel were reported to have initiated a bio-warfare program against the Palestinians as far back as 1948 when, in their Nakba expulsion of Arabs, they poisoned all the local village water wells with typhus to prevent the Palestinians’ return. [8][9] Despite strident denials, this has been admitted by the Jewish newspaper Haaretz. [10] Since then, Israel has reportedly acquired many Jewish biowarfare agents from the former USSR, who are now working at Ness Ziona, at Ben Gurion University in the Negev, and the Rothschild-financed Ariel University.

And there does appear to be adequate documentation to evidence Israel’s assistance to the repressive regime in South Africa and that country’s “Project Coast”, which was a bioweapons program that existed for quite some time. According to one article in the Washington Post in 2003, Project Coast scientists “collected hundreds of strains of deadly pathogens … to use science against the country’s black majority population … to develop ways to suppress population growth among blacks … [and] to search for a ‘black bomb,’ a biological weapon that would select targets based on skin color”. It has been documented in several places that blacks have certain genetic factors that predispose them to some infections such as from HIV. As one writer noted, “The focus on a Zionist connection arises from the close cooperation between Israel and the apartheid South African regime in the development of genetic-targeted microorganisms. The fact that researchers of European ancestry have survived the first phase of the West African contagion tentatively points to a well-planned campaign of extermination of African people, and is therefore not just a mere public-health threat but a crime against humanity of the highest order.”
While the evidence of Israel’s attempts in this field are not to be dismissed, Jewish scientists of course do their best to dismiss the entire prospect of such weapons. One David Goldstein, an apparent geneticist at University College London, claims any such concerns are exaggerated. He said, “Trying to find a weapon that affects quite a few of one ethnic group and none of another ethnic group is just not going to happen. Because all groups are quite similar you will never get something that is highly selective. The best you would probably do is something that kills 20% of one group and 28% of another.” He stated that geneticists can distinguish only between people with ancestry traced to regions such as Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia, a claim that is of course totally false.
“Blood Borders” did not make a major impression in the United States; few Americans have even heard of it. The same cannot be said for the greater Middle East. Source
As one example noted by Watson, the US Armed Forces Journal carried an article in 2006 outlining a military strategy plan written by retired Major Ralph Peters which called for “ethnic cleansing” to be instituted in the Middle East so that the region could easily be dominated by the joint interests of Israel and the United States. Researching this topic is exceedingly difficult since the (Jewish-controlled) search engines and most information sites have been twisted to suggest the only ethnic cleansing considered for the Middle East is against Israel. The Jews almost always manage to twist circumstances to present themselves as the victims, when they are most often the perpetrators.
Even more to the point, the media reported that when an Israeli government spokesman was asked to confirm the existence of ethnic weapons, he did not deny that they had them, but rather said, “we have a basket full of serious surprises that we will not hesitate to use if we feel that the state of Israel is under serious threat.” Another paper reported an Israeli scientist stating the task was complicated because both Arabs and Jews were of Semitic origin, but he apparently claimed they had succeeded in pinpointing a particular characteristic in the genetic profile of certain Arab communities, particularly the Iraqi people.” These informed observations would appear to contradict the above statements of David Goldstein.
Mark Weber at the Institute for Historical Review, wrote that the Sunday Times report was especially credible, “given the prestigious paper’s past record of reliable reporting”. He noted two instances in particular:
The Defense Ministry has agreed to compensate close to 100 soldiers who say they suffered long-term health damage due to their participation in Anthrax vaccine experiments in the 1990s. Source
“In a detailed front-page report published on June 19, 1977, the Sunday Times first revealed to the world that Israeli authorities had been torturing Palestinian prisoners, that this torture was “widespread and systematic,” and that it “appears to be sanctioned at some level as deliberate policy.” At the time Israeli officials and Jewish-Zionist leaders in the United States protested the Sunday Times revelations, and denied the charge. Later, though, Jewish torture of Palestinian prisoners was independently verified by Amnesty International, and others. Another recentSunday Timesarticle revealed that Israeli jets have been equipped to carry chemical and biological weapons.“There is hardly a single known or unknown form of chemical or biological weapons … which is not manufactured at the [Nes Tsiona] Institute,” a biologist who is a former Israeli intelligence official told the newspaper. And the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot, citing a foreign report, has told readers that hundreds of bottles of deadly anthrax toxin are stored at the Institute. Media reports document only that Israel developed an “anthrax vaccine”, [11]but when a top-secret military biological-weapons lab develops a vaccine, it is only because they have already developed the pathogen.
The “ethnic bomb” claims have been given further credence in Foreign Report, an authoritative Jane’s publication that closely monitors security and military matters. It cites unnamed South African sources as saying that Israeli scientists, in trying to develop an “ethnic bullet” against Arabs, have made use of similar biological studies conducted by South African scientists during the Apartheid era (and later revealed in testimony before that country’s “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”). Foreign Report also says that Israelis have gained insights into the Arab genetic make-up by conducting research on “Jews of Arab origin, especially Iraqis“.
The Anti-Defamation League lost no time denouncing the Sunday Times “ethnic bomb” report. Abraham Foxman, national director of the influential Jewish-Zionist organization, called it “irresponsible and dangerous.” The ADL official went on: “This sensational story is reminiscent of the age-old anti-Semitic blood libel myth of Jews deviously targeting non-Jews with poison.” In response, Weber asked, “How does Foxman know that this report is not true? Do high-level Israeli officials routinely inform the ADL of the Zionist government’s top-secret military programs?” A senior Israeli government official similarly rejected the Sunday Times report, saying “this is the kind of story that does not deserve denial.” Such Israeli declarations are virtually worthless, however, considering that the Zionist state refuses officially to acknowledge that it has nuclear weapons, a fact that even authoritative American sources have confirmed.“
And, as Weber noted as well, we have Victor Ostrovsky, a former Israeli Mossad Agent who abandoned Israel and wrote a book titled “The Other Side of Deception”[12] in which he detailed some of Israel’s activities. He also wrote another book titled “By Way of Deception”, which is available here for download. [13] Here is a quote from Ostrovsky’s book regarding the Nes Tsiona research facility, which he described as “an ABC warfare laboratory, the acronym for atomic, biological and chemical:
“It was where our top epidemiological scientists were developing various doomsday machines. Because we were so vulnerable and would not have a second chance should there be an all-out war in which this type of weapon would be needed, there was no room for error. The [captured] Palestinian infiltrators came in handy in this regard. As human guinea pigs, they could make sure the weapons the scientists were developing worked properly and could verify how fast they worked and make them even more efficient.”

For decades, rumors and testimonies swirled about Jewish troops sent to poison wells in Arab villages. Now, researchers have located official documentation of the ‘Cast Thy Bread’ operation. [14][15]
This is partly an aside, but there were persistent media reports from several sources that Israeli labs were working on a COVID vaccine months before COVID erupted. All these reports were quickly deleted and the subject never appeared again, a strong indication that those reports were based on truth. You may think what conclusions to draw from this.
