What the Nation of Israel Is All About

An Attempt to Drag America Into Israel’s War

The following text speaks for itself.

On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked the American naval vessel USS Liberty in international waters, and tried to sink it.

After checking the Liberty out for 8 hours – and making 9 overflights with Israeli jets, within 200 feet … close enough for the pilots and the sunbathing Liberty sailors on deck to waive at each other.

Yet the Israelis attacked it with Mirage fighter jets, torpedoes and napalm.  The USS Liberty suffered 70% casualties, with 34 killed and 174 wounded.

The Israeli attack spanned two hours … as long as the attack on Pearl Harbor. The air attack alone lasted approximately 25 minutes: consisting of more than 30 sorties by approximately 12 separate planes using napalm, cannon, and rockets which left 821 holes in the ship.  The Israelis fired 30mm cannons and rockets into the boat.

Following the attack by fighter jets, three Israeli motor torpedo boats torpedoed the ship, causing a 40 x 40 foot wide hole in her hull, and machine-gunning firefighters and stretcher-bearers attempting to save their ship and crew. More than 3,000 machine-gun bullet holes were later counted on the Liberty’s hull.

After the attack was thought to have ended, three life rafts were lowered into the water to rescue the most seriously wounded. The Israeli torpedo boats returned and machine-gunned these life rafts at close range. This was followed by the approach of two large Israeli Army assault helicopters filled with armed commandos carrying what appeared to be explosive satchels (they departed after hovering over the ship for several minutes, making no attempt to communicate).

The Israelis clearly knew it was an American ship, tried to sink it, and tried to frame the Egyptians for the attack, as shown by the following evidence:

(1) The Liberty was flying a huge, brand new American flag. The flag was 5-by-8 feet.  The weather conditions were ideal to ensure the flag’s easy observance and identification, because it was clear and sunny, with a wind-speed which make for a constant ripple in the flag.  After the flag was shot up by the jets, the Liberty’s crew replaced it with a 7-by-13 foot American flag, which flew during the entire duration of the attack.

(2) The Liberty had a unique profile and didn’t look like any other boat, since it had more and bigger antennas – including large, high-tech dishes and giant towers – than any other boat in the world (it was an NSA spy ship).

(3) The Liberty was marked with uniquely American numbering and colors in front.

(4) The Israeli pilots shot out the Liberty’s communications equipment first, and specifically jammed the ship’s emergency radio signal … unique to American naval vessels in the 6th Fleet. The ships from other fleets and other nations used different frequencies, which the Israelis did not jam.

(5) The Israelis used unmarked fighter jets and unmarked torpedo boats during the attack.

(6) Recently-declassified radio transcripts between the Israeli attack forces and ground control show that – at least 3 times – an Israeli fighter jet pilot identified the craft as American, and asked whether ground control was sure he should attack.  Ground control repeatedly said, yes, attack the vessel.

(7) The Israeli torpedo boats methodically destroyed all of the Liberty’s liferafts one by one (which is a war crime).

(8) The only reason the Israelis did not successfully sink the Liberty and kill all of its crewmen was that one sailor duck-taped together antennae – and took many bullet wounds in the process – which enabled an emergency SOS to get out from the Liberty to American 6th Fleet.

(9) The Israelis later claimed that they mistook the Liberty for an Egyptian vessel.  But the Egyptian ship – the El Quseir – was an unarmed 1920s-era horse carrier out of service in Alexandria, four times smaller than the Liberty, which bore virtually no resemblance to the Liberty.

(10) President Lyndon Johnson believed the attack was intentional and he leaked his opinion to Newsweek.

Other high-level Americans agreed:

Sean Hannity of course has had gun permits all his life and has a "gun attorney" as one of his new sponsors.  Sean Hannity also mentioned that when he gets into a fight- - there are no rules.  Sean's goal is to win.  And apparently with all of the karate and other fact moves he knows Sean isn't sure whether four minutes would be enough to incompacitate his opponet.  As he told the sort of things he would do in a fight he mentioned eye gauging and kicks to the groin.  So if his gun doesn't get you you can bet Sean will fight dirty as hell.  In terms of the three year limit on today's War resoolution- - Sean doesn't think THAT is enough time to 'respond" to the ISIS threat.  In other words the mid term electionf of 2018 isn't long enough for a protracted war Sean envisions.  But keep in mind MOST wars do not last that long.  The War of 1812 didn't last that long.  Neither did the Mexican War.  Neither did the Spanish American War.  The Korean War lasted just about three years and 55 thousand Americans died in that time period, if you're curious.  You can do a LOT of damage in three years, just as in a street fight you can do a LOT of damage in four minutes- - particularly if your enemy became incompacitated in the first twenty seconds.   Now here are other thoughts from earlier.

Then it was Marco Rubio as an over-inflated gas bag going on and on about how the security of the whole world will be threatened if the democrats don’t attend Netenyahoo’s speech before congress.  Rubio was concerned about what our Allies will think of us.  Well let’s take a look at some of these UN votes where “the whole world voted against the United States” except for Israel.  You'll have to excuse me if I ask just how nations mentioned like Japan or South Korea voted on matters pertaining to Israel,.  The way Rubio tell it if you don't vote with us then you, too, are the Enemy. The way Rubio tells it it’s a mutual support system.  Israel supports us in votes we want passed and we support Israel in votes they want passed.  But I’m not sure whether there is a solid “mutual friendship” between nations or whether Israel is only some kind of a stalking horse, a pawn to be used at the convenience of the Republicans in the house.  I’m afraid this whole speech invite will degenerate into a mutual campaign rally.  Netenyahoo supports the Republicans in votes they want passed to stick it to the democrats, and in turn- all this publicity helps Netenyahoo at home in his election in two weeks.  I would have recommended hearing the speech but after all that bloviating of Marco Rubio- - I’m thinking if I were the senator or whatever I’d boycott the speech.  Rubio concludes his speech by saying, “I detect the absence of a quorum in this assembly.

Norman talked about Ted Cruise and his speech today against democratic led filibusters.  And Ted Cruise is correct.  These Democrats should NOT be filibustering.  What’s bad for one is bad for the other party.  Personally I would not want to stoop to the level the Republicans descended to in the fall of 2013 by denying votes for Homeland Security funding, as part of some political “statement” when all it will cause is chaos and harm the government.  There comes a time when you need to recognize that your side has lost and to throw in the towel and pass the darned thing.  Let me refresh your memory.  Mitch Mc Connell had as avowed goal to make Obama a one term president.  Mitch Mc Connell FAILED in this.  We all thought "Well, the Republicans have been taught a lesson.  Maybe they'll cooporate now.  But as liberals on the radio point out- - unlike we democrats - - the Republicans don't slink away with their tail between their legs after one defeate.   They don't "play by the rules" to to speak.  And why should they?  Rush Limbaugh has terrible ratings.  He's "too big to fail" as the credibility deficet of right talk radio balloons.  (pun intended)  But frankly on the matter of this revenue bill for homeland security, the democrats should be civilized about the whole thing and allow a vote to take place, just as we have been telling the Republicans to do for six years.  Moral consistency is a valuable thing and I don't want to cede the moral high ground and sink to the Republican's level.  Then the President has the option himself as to whether he wants to veto the thing or not. 

- - - and then the soap opera.  Jack Junior spent the entire night over at Eve’s.  He lied about his still made bed and wearing the same clothes as yesterday to his mother and sister.  Sister is smarter than mother in cases like this.  Sisters know these things.  For the first time Hope has evidence that it really is Aden’s wife speaking on that tape because Aden is calling her on the tape.  And also the big thing of Anti Freeze was exactly where his wife said it would be.  I confess to a little puzzlement because who KNOWS they're being slowly poisoned by anti freeze and still allow it to go on and not call the cops?   Nicole seems to have turned the tables on Serena by catching her in the act of stealing Eric’s artwork statuary.  Nicole could catch a credibility break here, and I hope she does.  But you never know about these soap writers.
