ISRAEL'S DOUBLE GAME IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: ARMING

TERRORISTS WITH KHMER ROUGE WEAPONS

WMR's report yesterday on the U.S. naval buildup in Southeast Asia,

particularly in Cambodia, coincides with a major Israeli intelligence

and weapons smuggling operation in the region.

Israel has been a major, albeit covert, player in Southeast Asia since

Israeli multi-billionaire tycoon Shaul Eisenberg began supplying

weapons to Cambodia's genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s.

Eisenberg, a close business partner of China's military, was also

anearly arms supplier to Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. Eisenberg was

active with Asia's Jewish community during World War II, not as an

compatriot of the Allies but as a close intelligence and business

partner of Japan's Imperial government, which was allied with Nazi

Germany and Fascist Italy in the Axis Alliance. Escaping Nazi-

controlled Europe, Eisenberg settled in the Far East, making his

primary bases of operation Japanese-occupied Shanghai and Japan

itself. In Shanghai, Eisenberg, along with Imperial Japanese military

intelligence units, formed units of future Jewish terrorist groups -

the Irgun and the Shanghai Betar (Betar was founded in the 1930s by

the Polish Zionist Yakob Jabotinsky, a supporter of Italian Fascist

leader Benito Mussolini, to battle the British for control of

Palestine and the ideological godfather of later neoconservative

oracle Leo Strauss). The Japanese taught the Jewish paramilitary

forces in Shanghai, including some who escaped from Joseph Stalin's

Jewish Autonomous Region creation in the Soviet Far East on the

Chinese border, how to disrupt colonial occupiers' logistics and

command and control elements, strategies that had been successful

against the British, Dutch, French, and American colonial authorities

in Asia. The Irgun and Betar gangs would eventually use the knowledge

gained from the Japanese in their terror campaign against British and

Arab forces in Palestine following World War II. Eventually, Irgun and

Betar veterans would form the present-day Likud Party, now headed by

Binyamin Netanyahu, a noted extreme right-winger.

After the war, Eisenberg began selling war surplus material, including

iron and steel scrap. Married to a Japanese woman, Eisenberg

established the Israel Corporation, a huge holding company , which,

during the 1970s, began to secretly export Israeli military equipment

and weapons to China. Under a Panama-based company called United

Development, Inc., Eisenberg also began exporting weapons to Central

America's most insidious dictatorships, including that of Anastasio

Somoza in Nicaragua. Eisenberg's vast holdings eventually included

Israel Aircraft Industries and Zim Israel Navigation Company.

As the United States faced imminent defeat in the Indochina War at the

hands of the Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian communist-nationalist

forces, Eisenberg wasted no time in cashing in on America's defeat and

the new power alignments in Southeast Asia. He began selling weapons

from his new business partner - China - to the Cambodian forces of

Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. After the defeat of the U.S.-backed

military government of General Lon Nol, installed after Richard

Nixon's National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, a close friend of

Eisenberg, ordered the CIA to overthrow Cambodian head of state Prince

Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia fell victim to a bloody civil war between

Vietnamese troops backing Pol Pot's one-time ally Hun Sen and the

Chinese-backed "Democratic Kampuchea" government of Khmer Rouge leader

Pol Pot.

It was no mistake that the Gerald Ford administration and Secretary of

State Kissinger backed the Khmer Rouge. Kissinger and Ford's long-time

Michigan financial backer, industrialist Max Fisher were both

financially and ideologically linked to Eisenberg. Ford's supposed

"grand moment" - the repatriation in 1975 of the crew of the U.S.

"merchant" (spy) ship, the SS Mayaguez, from Khmer Rouge forces was a

Kissinger- and Eisenberg-designed ruse designed to build up Ford's

support in the face of the American military defeat in Southeast Asia.

That ruse came at the cost of 41 Marines and countless Cambodian

military forces and civilians.

Kissinger authorized Eisenberg to begin a discreet program to

modernize China's armed forces with $10 billion in Israeli and U.S.-

designed weapons, re-exported through Israel. The reason -

neoconservative to its roots - was to have China counteract Soviet

military power in Asia and beyond.

As a result of Eisenberg's Israel-China military alliance, Pol Pot's

Khmer Rouge forces were amply supplied by Israel and China. Logistics

were no problem since Eisenberg's Israel Corporation owned a 49

percent share in Zim Shipping, the world's third largest shipping

company. Although Eisenberg died from a sudden heart attack in Beijing

in 1997, the weapons smuggling activities of his friends in Mossad and

Zim Shipping continue to plague Southeast and South Asia.
