Thank you for your kind response...Salaam Ibn Warraq<br />Thank you for your kind response. For your information there have indeed been a few Israel-related cables 'salted' (if that is the right word)into the stream of Wikileaks' released cables thus far. An early release related to a comment by Netanyahu to a US diplomat that he was aware that certain Arab nations had urged the US to attack Iran. At least this was stated in the media here in Australia. But I agree with you. We should wait and see, as the whole 250,000 (!?) cables are released, whether there emerges a body of content-significant cables relating to US-Israel diplomatic interaction before being any more than just suspicious that a Mossad 'chess play' might be the root cause of this remarkable world event. Come what may, all our lives are going to be altered to some degree by it. Best wishes.

Thank you for your kind words...Salaam Doctor Short,<br />Thank you for your kind words. Sadly some people get quite worked up over the small things and miss the bigger picture. I agree with your basic thesis. However, I will feel more confident in proclaiming it once the percentage of cables gives us a better base on which to make that assumption. It does occur to me that if Mossad are as clever as we suspect, then they would salt the results with a few harmless cables. The (so far) total silence on Israel may also be because the Americans and Israelis have a much more secure direc t link and maintain a lower level of diplomatic chatter. I would be interested in your thoughts. <br /><br />Our mutual friend told me much about you and it is an honour to have you post on our blog. I have never met an Isotope hydrogeologist before! <br />Salaam was shukran bizef.<br />IWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-43500735090457004612010-12-10T05:31:00.556+00:002010-12-10T05:31:00.556+00:00Thank you for Morocco-centric informed comment abo...Thank you for Morocco-centric informed comment about the Wikileaks thing. It is particularly gratifying to see that you highlight the conspicuous (and now statistically implausible) absence of cables dealing with exchanges between US and Israel diplomats and politicians. I don't think many people appreciate just how momentous the last week or two has also been for the Palestinian people (for whom I have great sympathy). Yet this has been well overshadowed by the storm of Wikileaks publicity. The peace talks have totally collapsed, Israel has asserted once again and arguably irrevocably their determination to densely populate and build over the West Bank - effectively denying for all time a Palestinian homeland and causing even the most left leaning US government of modern times (Obama) to bow in utter humiliation after having offered Israel crass military inducements worth US$ billions. A new development is that Israel now feels so powerful (as the biggest nuclear power in the Middle East) that it can now totally snub its longtime greatest ally (the US). This raises the question of whether this Wikileaks soap opera might not just be a horribly effective Mossad game play to keep the spotlight off the coup de gras of a State of Palestine! Have we all been fooled by the Great Wikileaks Distraction?Steve Shorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354306627017130838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-51564865532343620552010-12-10T02:18:56.701+00:002010-12-10T02:18:56.701+00:00Name callers usually say things that reflect on th...Name callers usually say things that reflect on themselves - and in this case rather badly.
