Many of these neocons had close ties to pro-Israel groups like JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security of America) or WINEP (The Washington Near East Policy – set up with support from AIPAC)”.^[1]</p> <p>JINSA has included neocons such as Perle, Michael Ledeen, Muravchik, James Woolsey, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, and Douglas Feith.

At age 23, Feith had helped draft JINSA’s charter in 1973.”</p> </blockquote> <p>WINEP was similarly born from pro-Israel interests facilitated by neoconservatives:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>“WINEP was established in 1985 by Martin Indyk, previously the Research Director at the leading pro-Israel lobby, the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Barbi Weinberg, a former Vice President of AIPAC, and was closely aligned with AIPAC from its inception.<br> </em>(As of 2006, fourteen members of the 100-plus Board of Trustees had served on the AIPAC executive board and some were founders or Directors of pro-Israel Political Action Committees.)<br> <em>…<br> “WINEP’s advisory board and list of scholars also included some neoconservatives…Woolsey, Perle, and Wolfowitz were all on the WINEP board. Muravchik and Pipes both served as Adjunct Scholars.

Israeli-US intelligence cooperation was at unprecedented levels. According to one Israeli general, “Israeli intelligence was a full partner to the picture presented by American and British intelligence regarding Iraq’s non‐conventional capabilities.”^[4]</p> <p>The <em>USA Today</em>, <a href="https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2002-11-03-israel-usat_x.htm">reported</a> in late 2002 that Israel was “secretly playing a key role in U.S. preparations for possible war with Iraq, helping to train soldiers and Marines for urban warfare, conducting clandestine surveillance missions in the western Iraqi desert and allowing the United States to place combat supplies in Israel”.</p> <p>Meanwhile, US Zionist neocons were in full force to push the War on Terror and the invasion of Iraq.&nbsp; Indeed, within the US, “a small band of neoconservatives, many with close ties to Israel’s Likud Party” were the “driving force” behind the Iraq war.

Gove has called Weidenfeld a “man of great wisdom and humanity” who he is proud to call “a friend.”</p> <p>Weidenfeld has been the president of the Board of Trustees for the ISD, which promotes CVE. Weidenfeld was a Zionist who co-signed, alongside extremist neocons, a petition which states that, “Israeli land concessions, will never bring peace”.<br> The petition, published by the rabidly bigoted, anti-Muslim Gatestone Institute run by the chief financier of transatlantic Muslim-hate, Nina Rosenwald, also postures a supremacist assumption, stating that “only a cultural revolution in the Arab world can achieve [peace].”</p> <p>Amongst the list of editors Gove thanks “in particular”, is Daniel Finkelstein.
