Israel seems to have a nasty habit of using false information to drag the U.S. into wars.
An Israeli attack on a 1967 U.S. Navy ship initially believed to be an Egyptian military strike, killed 34 Americans and almost launched WWIII. The attacks on 9/11 started two terrible wars that have strapped the U.S. economy and claimed many lives. Israel keeps repeating that Iran has nuclear weapons with no proof, eternally drawing the U.S. toward confrontation. Will the American public someday grow tired of being drug around by the nose to fight wars for Israel’s security and benefit? |
(SALEM, Ore.) – They say when you are in the military, that you are expendable; flat out government property. For Uncle Sam’s sake you will do what you’re told and if that includes dying, well… then you have to die.
This flies for many patriots and maybe it should, but not if you come to learn that you aren’t even fighting your own war. What? That’s right, the war in Iraq, starting with the destruction of the World Trade Towers, the inexplicable collapse of Tower Seven, the Pentagon and Shanksville incident, have Israel’s not so well hidden signature scrawled all over them[1].
This kind of thing has been going on for some time, and at one point it almost launched a Third World War.
The money trail is generally what leads to a guilty party, but in life there is more than just a desire for money; there is still a desire to seize land and practice racial bigotry through apartheid laws at minimum, and outright scathing brutality and murder at the other end.
This is the gift for humanity that religious extremism bears. Sometimes they are people like the Taliban, Hell bent on enforcing some neo he-man woman hater’s club mentality based on a warped and twisted version of Islam, and then you have the form of religious extremism that invades American households and is rampant among even very docile members of the Christian and Jewish faiths. It is called Zionism, though I suspect most Christians still don’t fully comprehend what that means. They think of Mount Zion and Bible songs and prayers.
But what they are supporting, is the genocidal elimination of the people who occupied 99% of what is now Israel, prior to 1947. The Israelis have taken almost all of what was Palestine, and people in places like Gaza are caged in like animals and rarely if ever allowed to enter or leave. People dig tunnels to bring in support, including food and other essentials denied them by the Israelis, and the American media portrays these poor people living in the foulest conditions known to man, as terrorists.
Their soldiers of war are mostly little children with rocks. Throwing one at an Israeli soldier takes a lot of guts, because the soldiers shoot the children dead for it.
The Six Day War
In 1967, Egypt massed troops on the Sinai Peninsula. Israel viewed this as a provocative move. They sent an envoy to talk to U.S. Sec. of Defense Robert McNamara, who said in a recent interview, that his only message to Israel, was to not attack Egypt.
The Israeli envoy is quoted saying he thought he “had a green light for the attack” – which McNamara strongly denied.
Israel dismissed McNamara’s suggestion, and launched a Pearl Harbor style attack on Egypt’s military. It was on day four of the Six Day War that jet fighters began circling the U.S.S. Liberty, a Navy spy ship off the coast of Gaza in place to monitor the events of our “ally” Israel.
The Americans say that after the initial Israeli jet flyovers, three different aircraft, also French made Mirage fighters, but with no national markings, began attacking the Liberty. The details of this are posted in another article that gives a better idea that was republished yesterday[2].
I also recommend watching the BBC documentary below to get a much better idea than I can give you. Several of the quotes in this story are from that program, and I have also written to a few of the survivors, which I consider an honor.
After the fighter jet attacks came the Israeli Navy, and before it was over, a torpedo slammed into the Liberty. 34 Americans killed, 171 wounded; many very badly.
The U.S. Navy finally received the Liberty’s SOS call and an A-4 Skyhawk attack jet was launched off the deck of the U.S.S. America en route to Cairo, to drop something called a Bullpup Missile[3].
