US to supervise construction of $100m. IDF complex

[toomuchtime_]

The US will supervise construction of a $100 million, five-story underground facility for an IDF complex named "Site 911," The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The Tel Aviv facility is expected to take more than two years to build, and proposals from construction firms are due on December 3, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers, which is responsible for supervising the project. The site will include classrooms on Level 1, and auditorium on Level 3, a laboratory, shock-resistant doors, protection from nonionizing radiation and very tight security, according to the Post.

Construction at the site will require high-level security access, with workers only being allowed to originate in a pre-ordained list of countries, and with the caveat that "the employment of Palestinians is forbidden," according to a notice by the Corps.

Site 911 will not be the first of its kind in Israel supervised by the Corps. The Washington Post cited the Corps publications as saying they had built "underground hangars for Israeli fighter-bombers, facilities for handling nuclear weapons (though Israel does not admit having such weapons), command centers, training bases, intelligence facilities and simulators."

According to the Post, the site will be one of the largest projects supervised by the US Corps in Israel, with each of the first three underground floors reaching around 41,000 square feet.

Perhaps making the necessary preparations for a surprise flyover visit to Qom, Iran, capital of the Mullahs? Maybe they score a three pointer and shoot a smart bomb down that well the 12th Imam is supposed to come out of.

well, i guess that puts another nail in the apartheid coffin.

israel should object to this discriminatory treatment of her citisens by the USA and if this is true, we should be ashamed of ourselves.

imagine if the USA was working with one of our allies on our soil on a project that ally had developed and was financing and that would be of benefit to our citisens...with the caveat that no african americans could work on the project?

I fail to see a connection between supervise and financing. I saw nothing about America funding this project in the article. But feel free to spin away.

First ask why we sent the Bin Laden loving Pakistanis about 20 billion since 2001, then ask why we send the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood animals 2 billion a year, then ask why Palestinian 9-11 dancers get 800 million a year.

You are as profoundly confused as ever. As the Israeli government uses the word, Palestinian refers to Arabs from the disputed territories, not to Arab Israelis.
