82 A Bad Habit [21]<br />

Abdul-Nasser. However, the truth about the wave of terror can now be<br />

found in a once-secret cable from Colonel Benjamin Givli, the head of<br />

Israel's military intelligence, who outlined the intended purpose behind the<br />

wave of terror:<br />

"[Our goal] is to break the West's confidence in the existing [Egyptian]<br />

regime. The actions should cause arrests, demonstrations, and expressions of<br />

revenge. The Israeli origin should be totally covered while attention should<br />

be shifted to any other possible factor. The purpose is to prevent economic<br />

and military aid from the West to Egypt." 25<br />

Ultimately the truth about Israel's involvement in the affair became<br />

public and Israel was rocked internally in the wake of the scandal.<br />

Competing political elements within Israel used the scandal as a bludgeon<br />

against their opponents. But the truth about Israel's use of a "false flag" had<br />

come to international attention and demonstrated how Israel was indeed<br />

willing to needlessly endanger innocent lives as part of its grand political<br />

strategy to expand its influence in the Middle East.<br />

BLAMING 'RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS'<br />

A shadowy "right wing" group known as "Direct Action" was accused<br />

of the attack on Goldenberg's Deli in Paris on August 9, 1982. Six people<br />

died and 22 were injured. The leader of "Direct Action" was one Jean-Marc<br />

Rouillan. Rouillan had been operating in the Mediterranean under the cover<br />

name of "Sebas" and had been repeatedly linked to the Mossad. All<br />

references to Rouillan's Mossad links were deleted from the official reports<br />

issued at the time.<br />

However, the Algerian national news service—which has ties to French<br />

intelligence—blamed the Mossad for Rouillan's activities. Angry French<br />

intelligence officers were believed to have leaked this information to the<br />

Algerians. Several top French security officials quit in protest over this coverup<br />

of Mossad complicity in Rouillan's crimes. 26 However, other Mossadorchestrated<br />

false flag operations also took place on French soil.<br />

On October 3, 1980 a synagogue on Copernicus Street was bombed in<br />

Paris. Four bystanders were killed. Nine were injured. The media frenzy<br />

which followed the incident was worldwide. Reports held that "right wing<br />

extremists" were responsible. Yet, of all of the "right wing extremists" held for<br />

questioning, none was arrested. In fact, all were released.<br />

In the upper echelons of French intelligence, however, the finger of<br />

suspicion was pointed at the Mossad. According to one report: "On April 6,<br />

1979, the same Mossad terror unit now suspected of the Copernicus carnage<br />

blew up the heavily guarded plant of CNIM industries at La Seyne-sur-Mer,<br />

near Toulon, in southeast France, where a consortium of French firms was<br />

building a nuclear reactor for Iraq.<br />

"The Mossad salted the site of the CNIM bomb blast with 'clues'<br />

followed up with anonymous phone calls to police—suggesting that the<br />

sabotage was the work of a 'conservative' environmentalist Troup—'the<br />

most pacific and harmless people on earth' as one source put it." 27
