NEW MILITARY BASE ON WEST BANK BORDER

HEY, WHO IS THAT BUILDING A MASSIVE (HALF THE SIZE OF TEL AVIV) NEW MILITARY BASE ONTHE WEST BANK BORDER USING ARAB LABOR? IS IT ISRAEL? CALL THE U.N! IS IT THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY? HAVE THE IDF SHUT IT DOWN! OH, NO, WAIT. IT'S THE GOOD OLD U.S. OF A.

Why is the U.S. building a gigantic military base on the West Bank border?
The sudden appearance south of Rosh Ha'ayin of a massive army "supply base," built by the U.S. army engineering corps for the IDF with Arab workers, has raised eyebrows and suspicions about the real purpose and intended users of the massive facility. According to an IDF spokesman, the new base (dubbed "Nachshonim," after a nearby kibbutz) and located less than 10 minutes east of Ben Gurion airport, will be used as a storage facility for reservists' equipment, including beds, uniforms, etc. Still, the base's massive size -- dozens of huge warehouses, with reinforced bunkers, watchtowers, and tunnels -- casts a shadow of doubt over this singular explanation for its use. ...

According to one former American soldier who viewed photographs of the base (and who would only speak on condition of anonymity) "I saw these kind of installations when I was in the [U.S.] military. For years I was stationed at a base where a major part of it was like this. These are not barracks of any kind. The metal facilities built up on the rocks are huge electronic facilities, probably filled with CIA and extensive phone and other electronic monitoring stuff. I have seen bunkers like this before, at a base in California. It is a missile launch bunker. Somewhere within a mile to 5 miles are silos with the missiles in them," he said. .... The fact that the base's construction was commissioned to an Arab contractor (listed on the sign outside the base as "Mustafa"), and according to eyewitness reports, has utilized busloads of Arab construction workers, would suggest that there is no top secret information contained within, at least at this stage, or that the ultimate purpose might not be limited to, or primarily intended for, the IDF.
