According to a
PressTV report, the CIA
conducted a study that "cast doubt over Israel's survival beyond the next 20 years."
The CIA report predicts "an inexorable movement away from a two-state to a one-state solution, as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial Apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947/1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region."
After having searched for this report online, I have found nothing except for blogs citing this Press TV article and others attacking it's supposed author, international lawyer Franklin
Lamb who is one of the few who has seen the actual report. The study, which has been made available only to a certain number of individuals, further forecasts the return of all Palestinian refugees to the occupied territories, and the exodus of two million Israeli - who would move to the US in the next fifteen years.
According to Lamb, the CIA report "alludes to the unexpectedly quick fall of the apartheid government in South Africa and recalls the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, suggesting the end to the dream of an 'Israeli land' would happen 'way sooner' than later."
The study further predicts the return of over one and a half million Israelis to Russia and other parts of Europe, and denotes a decline in Israeli births whereas a rise in the Palestinian population.
And apparently, "some members of the US Senate Intelligence Committee have been informed of the report." Interesting that PressTV is the only media that picked up this story. No word of it on NYT or any other media source. What is Jewish Chronicle's Oliver Kamm (a former
PressTV guest) have to say about this?
Press TV has excelled itself by running a story that no reputable news outlet had reported: a supposed CIA study predicting the collapse of Israel within 20 years. The only authority cited for this study was “international lawyer Franklin Lamb”. Lamb is a political activist described by Hizbollah’s TV station in Lebanon as “persistent in his support for the just cause of the Lebanese people’s resistance”.
