(WMR) -- WMR has learned from a knowledgeable source with close ties to senior Department of Justice officials that the suspicious activities of young Israeli men and women who aggressively push Israeli cosmetic products at mall kiosks around the United States is not only tied to gathering intelligence from nearby military and government facilities but also to recruit American Jews for specialized �counter-terrorism� training at a militant Jewish training camp in the Catskills in upstate New York.

According to our well-placed source, retired and reserve members of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) are conducting paramilitary training at the Catskills camp. The camp once belonged to the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a designated terrorist organization in the United States.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was once a follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the founder of the JDL and the outlawed racist Kach Party in Israel. Many Kahanists openly celebrated the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. Rabin�s assassin, Yigal Amir, was associated with the Kahanists/Kachists and a former Mossad chief once told this editor that the fingerprints on the first assassination of an Israeli prime minister went right up the chain to Binyamin Netanyahu, the current Israeli prime minister. 

Today, the IDF training of militant Jews is conducted under the aegis of Kitat Konenut (KK), which is self-described as a �non political, non partisan team of freedom loving Americans devoted to teaching preparedness against terrorism and natural disasters,� adding, �Kitat Konenut trains with veterans of the Israel Defense Forces and incorporates elite Israeli fighting skills.�

Although it claims non-partisanship, the KK�s heroes are all Israeli terrorists, including Zionist fascist leader Zeev Jabotinsky; Avraham (Yair) Stern, the founder of the Jewish terrorist Stern Gang, and first Likud prime minister and one-time terrorist Menachem Begin. In fact, the Catskills camp is also sometimes referred to as �Camp Jabotinsky� and has been linked to the Jewish Defense Organization, a spin-off of the JDL.

The extreme-Zionist KK claims to have a close working relationship with the New York City Police and Fire Departments. KK also has a Los Angeles unit that claims members within the Los Angeles Police Department.
