Ari Ben-Maneshe, an Iraqi Jew who grew up in Tehran, spent ten years working for Israeli intelligence brokering arms deals between Israel and Iran to fuel the war with Iraq in the 1980’s.

In his book, he acknowledges his actions contributed to the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Iranians for the sake of Israel.

In retrospect, he concluded that Jewish Supremacy is evil.

He ends the book by writing:

“And to my former colleagues, the international arms merchants, with whom I had so many dealings, are not out of business, not by a long shot. If there isn’t a big war going on at any given time, there are always a number of small wars … to continue to generate profits for them. As I sit here, I imagine them around their tables, waiting for the next big one, just like Iran and Iraq. Perhaps India and Pakistan. Plenty of cannon fodder to be equipped, a balanced enough conflict to last a long time, no one in the West to care who gets killed – a real goldmine.

I am a humbler man today than I was in the 1970s when I joined Israeli intelligence. I’ve learned the hard way that everyone makes mistakes, some of them so big that they are irrevocable. I’ve also changed my view of Israel and the Jewish people. When I was young, I shared with many Israelis a deep nationalistic feeling – the self-righteous and arrogant belief that we were right and everyone else was wrong, that it was more important for Jews and Israel to survive than others, that we were – as the Bible says – the chosen people. I still believe that Jews are chosen. But no longer can I accept the premise on which the Iranian arms deals were based: “Better that their boys die than ours.” People are people. We are all chosen.”
