  • Industrien Løgn
    «I palestinerne like ille som jødene ble behandlet under andre verdenskrig.» I sa ni prosent i en meningsmåling fra HL-senteret at dette «stemmer helt». prosent sa «det stemmer nokså godt». Bare én av tre nordmenn hadde kunnskap nok om Midtøsten eller andre verdenskrig til å ta avstand fra denne horrible anklagen. Det er tydelig at det er svært god etterspørsel etter løgnindustriens varer og tjenester i Norge. Det er derfor denne boken er så viktig. Ben-Dror Yemini tar for seg en rekke av anklagene mot staten Israel, og viser med en jurists og forskers grundighet hvordan de bygger på løgn. Grunnleggeren av Human Rights Watch, Robert Bernstein, var en av dem som oppmuntret Yemini til å skrive denne boken. Bernstein mener menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner, inkludert den han selv var med å starte, hjelper dem som ønsker å gjøre Israel fredløs i det internasjonale samfunnet. Løgnindustrien begynte ut fra gode intensjoner, med en generasjon europeere som tok side med dem de så som den svake parten − palestinerne. Men på veien gikk noe forferdelig galt. Etter hvert var ikke intensjonene like gode lenger. Fra legitim kritikk av Israel ble sannheten vridd på og det endte opp i regelrette løgner. Løgnindustrien har skapt en av vår tids største svindelsaker. Løgnindustrien B-D Y ble født i Tel Aviv i 1954. Hans familie kom som yktninger til Israel fra Jemen. Han har studert samfunnsfag, historie og jus. I 1984 begynte han sin karriere som journalist. Fra 2003 til 2014 var han debattredaktør i avisen Ma'ariv. Siden våren 2015 har Yemini vært journalist og kommentator i Yedioth Aharonoth, Israel største betalingsavis.

  • Settling with Iran: $1.7 Billion and US Hostages
    Research Memo Settling with Iran: $1.7 Billion and U.S. Hostages By Behnam Ben Taleblu and Annie Fixler September 2016 Executive Summary On January 17, 2016, the Obama administration announced that Washington and Tehran had reached a $1.7-billion settlement on an outstanding claim against the United States for military equipment predating the 1979 Iranian revolution. On the same day, Iran released five American prisoners in exchange for the U.S. dropping the charges against seven Iranians and withdrawing Interpol notices for 14 others. In January, journalists and lawmakers began raising questions over the linkage between these two agreements – as well as the connection of both to the nuclear agreement. Administration officials denied any connection between the three. In August, The Wall Street Journal revealed that the administration had sent $400 million of the $1.7-billion settlement to Iran in cash on the same day that the hostages were released, renewing questions over whether the payment was “ransom” for the hostages. The administration argued that sanctions regulations required the funds be transferred in cash via foreign banks; however, existing regulations permit all transactions related to settlement payments from the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal. Therefore, it appears that the administration’s argument is flawed. This memo outlines the available information on the $1.7-billion settlement and the manner and timing by which the funds were transferred to Iran. Where Did the Money Come From? Prior to the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran was the largest recipient of U.S. military sales.1 As part of the U.S.-Iran Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, Tehran deposited funds in a “Trust Fund” held by the Defense Department.2 Just months after the revolution, U.S.
