Mr. Pompeo Goes To Israel - Pedantic Political Rightwing/Leftwing Discussions Over Israel - "Startup Machine Juggernaut" - Private Equity Flows

Ed.'s note: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is one of many Americans including Vice President Pence who are Christian-Zionists behind America's foreign policy towards Israel. This bizarre relationship is becoming increasingly complex considering this news from Breaking Defense. China doesn't necessarily recognize Christian-Zionists and so it makes no difference to the Chinese when they invest in Israel's infrastructure and tech corporations. What this "specific political warning" to Israel means is no more technology transfers and Chinese investments into Israel's tech sector that benefits China to the disadvantage to America.

What does the Empire's agony mean for the "Jewish state of Israel"?

Critics in Israel say Netanyahu using coronavirus as pretext for massive power grab

The parallel problem here is the far right Jewish community in New York behind the Tikvah Fund, a "pugnacious neoconservative" organization of right wing Jewish politics. The Tikvah Fund is the primary financial backing for the Shalem Center in Israel. This center is a rightwing think tank in Israel. The Shalem Center educates Israelis on how to be good political "Israelis" with all that curtails. The internal politics in Israel is between what has been called "post-Zionism" and the far right wing in Israel represented by Benjamin Netanyahu. The Shalem Center was established in 1994 by the American Jewish scholar Yoram Hazony. The think tank "intended to confront what he saw as the dangers posed by post-Zionism", financed by conservative Jewish funders in America. Hazony had served as "Benjamin Netanyahu's ghost writer and was one of his advisers." One of these "conservative Jewish funders" is Ronald Lauder who it is alleged helped get Benjamin Netanyahu in office. The executive vice president of the Tikvah Fund was director of the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation in Germany. The Tikvah Fund is where Israeli far rightwing politics, private equity capital flows to Israel and "academic discussions" converge.

Conservative Money and Jewish Studies: Investigating the Tikvah Fund

This "post-Zionism" political idea in Israel requires looking at it from the perspective of Israel operating espionage and spy networks inside American institutions that go back decades removing technology out of America and transferring this technology to Israel under the BIRD Foundation and such Acts as S.2673 - United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 making the removal of technology out of America legal. This is the big political discussion that is not taking place. The other aspect that is not being discussed is the flow of private equity capital into Israel and China by such private equity firms as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). KKR is where ex-US Army General David Petraeus was hired as chairman of KKR's then newly created KKR Global Institute in May, 2013. KKR is invested in the Dutch-American NXP Microprocessors and these microprocessors are used extensively in the EUV (extreme ultra violet) machines manufactured in the Netherlands by ASML that China wants access to. ASML is the world's supplier to the semiconductor industry including to Taiwan's TSMC that China covets. While the Tikvah Fund where Petraeus is going to give a presentation focuses on academics arguing Jewish leftwing or rightwing politics concerning Israel, the fact is technology should take precedence in any political discussions.

US To Israel: No More Chinese Deals; Pompeo's Flying Visit

Israeli officials said the message relayed during Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's hours-long visit included a very specific political warning – Israel must stop any action that strengthens the Chinese Communist Party, even if that means canceling projects already planned.

TEL AVIV: The United States delivered a clear message to Jerusalem today – avoid further involvement of China in the Israeli economy. The message was one of the main reasons for the very short visit of American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Jerusalem — one day before the new cabinet is sworn in.

"The fact that the visit takes place in these problematic times proves its urgency" an Israeli source said. Pompeo came to Israel with a very strict message – stop all Chinese investment in Israel, either in high tech companies or infrastructure.

Israeli officials said the message relayed during Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's hours-long visit included a very specific political warning – Israel must stop any action that strengthens the Chinese Communist Party, even if that means canceling projects already planned.

Israeli sources said that the strict demand also stems from the suspicion in Washington that China is responsible for the effects of the coronavirus.

Good relations between Israel and China have caused heartache in the relationship between Washington and Jerusalem. For example, Israel was forced to cancel the sale of the Phalcon Airborne Early Warning System to China during the Camp David summit after money had changed hands. Israel was forced to compensate China for the cancellation.

As Breaking D readers know, Israel's National Authority for Data Protection barred China from building communications infrastructures of any kind in the country, and Israeli communications companies are not using Chinese components in their communications equipment. The new directive will force big companies and organizations with national security implications to refrain from using Chinese made systems and components in their different installations.

A Tikvah Live Webcast with General David Petraeus

Monday, May 18, 2020 | 7:30 PM EDT

We will email instructions for accessing the livestream to all registrants.

The COVID-19 crisis has turned the world upside down: national economies around the world seem headed for far-reaching unemployment and possible depression; the free flow of people and commerce between nations has been radically curtailed; medical and educational systems are under great strain or not functioning at all; and all the problems of the world that challenged us before this crisis have not magically gone away. What are the key issues that American leaders should be thinking about on the world stage? How will the current economic and social crisis affect the world's most dangerous and unstable nation-states? Will regimes fall—or fall into tyrannical or terrorist hands? How will the balance of power among the great nations—America, China, Russia—shift? And amid this crisis, what opportunities might exist, if any, to advance democratic freedom around the globe and to develop new forms of technological and social innovation?

Join us for a conversation with General David Petraeus, former Commander of U.S. Central Command and former Director of the CIA, as we assess the fault lines, threats, and opportunities of the current moment and beyond. General Petraeus will be interviewed by Vance Serchuk, Executive Director of the KKR Global Institute and former senior advisor to Senator Joe Lieberman.
