Israeli Zionist Accused of Being Gangster’s

Documents show US kept mum about Eichmann: historian



June 7, 2006

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States learned the location and alias of fugitive Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann two years before Israel captured him but kept the information secret as part of its efforts to combat communism in post-war West Germany, according to a historian who reviewed newly declassified documents.

The Central Intelligence Agency knew Eichmann was hiding in Argentina in 1958 under the false name of "Clemens," but left it up to Germany to deal with him, said Canadian historian Timothy Naftali, who reviewed documents of the US National Archives released on Tuesday.

The papers also show that from 1952 West Germany knew that Eichmann was hiding in Argentina under an assumed identity, but kept quiet about it fearing the fugitive might talk about Hans Globke, a former Nazi in then-chancellor Konrad Adenauer's cabinet.

"When one knows the hunt for Eichmann was prolonged because the Israelis knew that he was in Argentina but did not know the alias under which he was hiding, one understands completely the importance of these documents," Naftali told AFP.

"The West Germans at the time had the responsibility of arresting or at least transmitting this information and it is they who are the most guilty," said Naftali, who teaches at the University of Virginia.

The Israelis finally kidnapped Eichmann, one of the main executors of Adolf Hitler's "final solution," the Nazi genocide of Jews during World War II, in Buenos Aires in 1960. He was brought secretly to Israel, where he was tried, convicted and hung in 1962.

The CIA documents reveal that the United States, at the request of West Germany, successfully pressured a US magazine that had acquired the rights to publish Eichmann's memoir, to delete a reference to Globke, Naftali said.

They also show that the United States used a large network of spies recruited among former Nazis and that the CIA had virtually no interest in arresting war criminals, focusing instead on Cold War issues.

"The American policy of the time was not to pursue Nazi war criminals. They thought that was the responsibility of the Germans," Naftali said the documents show.

Since 1999 a Congress-mandated task force has been researching the National Archives and documents as they are declassified to shed light on the relations between US authorities and Nazi war criminals after World War II.

The group's work also focuses on US aid given to certain leaders of the Japanese regime in power during the 1930s and 1940s.

Some eight million pages have been studied thus far, according to the National Archives.

The final report is due to be published in spring 2007.

The Zionist say this Telegram shows that the Arabs condemned the Israeli's for Eichmann capture which is not correct if you read the actual document shown above.

According to the document above, it was warning the Arab nations of 'the aggressive nature of Israel and should point out that "there are person's who stole Palestine." It does go to mention that since Eichmann was in Argentina at the time of his capture that full support should be given to Argentina because the Zionist where referred to as "Zionist gangsters". Land from planes, forge passports, exploit embassies, then exprees regret when caught.

Another bit of information Eichmann in 1939 was in Palestine with the idea of the European Jews immigrating there but nothing seemed to come of it in my findings so far.

From my understanding so far, sending the Jews to Palestine wasn’t to help them; but get them out of Europe before they decided on the Final Solution.

The original plan was for the wealthy Jews to pay their way out of Europe, also pay to help the poorer Jews to leave and apparently this plan did not proceed as planned.
