Senator, I have no problem answering. When one tries to use a lot of gobbledy-gook to explain evil then it is beyond my understanding. Israel is involved in terrorism because a group of evil Muslim's hate the rest of the decent world and in particular Israel. It does not take 3 videos to make that clear. Evil is evil and it cannot be erased or explained with some individual using psyco-babble.
Mulligan, what a bunch of garbage. What are you, an Israel First idiot and an Arab hater? Use your brain instead of your gut and figure this out. SenatorRusso's a patriot who actually cares about his country rather than knee jerker who follows the government line and the media. Think for yourself man, don't be an establishment robot.
Retro, thanks for your reply. I know where you stand, you know where I stand. Good place to stop. Don't know if you are a football fan, but my wife thinks the Jets and Saints will win, I think the Colts and Vikings will prevail. A wife and husband can disagree and the world goes on. Tomorrow sometime we will know answer. Maybe the answer to our differences will be made clear down the road. In the meantime, hope and pray 2010 will be better than we could ever imagine. Best to you and yours, Mulligan
@mulligan: If what Jeff Gates presented is "gobbledy-gook" to you then I guess the fluoride, lithium, and Zionist media have finished you forever. Israel is involved in terrorism because that is simply how they operate. How many times has the Mossad been intimately involved with terror acts? How many Al Qaeda agents actually turned out to be Jewish? I mean, clearly you don't have a grasp on history. Clearly you don't know about the U.S.S. Liberty, the spy rings, the Lavon Affair, or the Israeli fingerprints all over 9/11. But hey, like I said, the fluoride and lithium have already taken hold. You just keep tuning in to Rupert Murdoch TV and be a good little slave. Real patriots will teach people WTF is really happening in the world. Now go suck your thumb and peddle your empty shit to people on your level. Don't contaminate this website any further.
An excellent and brave piece of work! Look beyond the mass media spin and observe the raw footage of what has been taking place in the Middle East. Foreign Policy is at the core of America's woe's right now - just research the cost in the trillions of the various police actions headed by the US that have been masked as wars with so called Islamist Extremists. The US Govt. is creating a mortal enemy that will not give up. An invasion of Pakistan or Iran is insane and will bring forth a potential WWlll and lets not forget a possible new police action in Yemen! Israel has now taken almost 80% of what had been Palistinian land and the remainder is cordoned off or blocked or check pointed making life for the Palestinian people a living hell on earth. We here in the US get such filtered coverage of what goes on in these areas of the world.
In early June of 1967, at the onset of the Six Day War, the Pentagon sent the USS Liberty from Spain into international waters off the coast of Gaza to monitor the progress of Israel's attack on the Arab states. The Liberty was a lightly armed surveillance ship.
Only hours after the Liberty arrived it was spotted by the Israeli military. The IDF sent out reconnaissance planes to identify the ship. They made eight trips over a period of three hours. The Liberty was flying a large US flag and was easily recognizable as an American vessel.
A few hours later more planes came. These were Israeli Mirage III fighters, armed with rockets and machine guns. As off-duty officers sunbathed on the deck, the fighters opened fire on the defenseless ship with rockets and machine guns.
A few minutes later a second wave of planes streaked overhead, French-built Mystere jets, which not only pelted the ship with gunfire but also with napalm bomblets, coating the deck with the flaming jelly. By now, the Liberty was on fire and dozens were wounded and killed, excluding several of the ship's top officers.
The Liberty's radio team tried to issue a distress call, but discovered the frequencies had been jammed by the Israeli planes with what one communications specialist called "a buzzsaw sound." Finally, an open channel was found and the Liberty got out a message it was under attack to the USS America, the Sixth Fleet's large aircraft carrier.
Two F-4s left the carrier to come to the Liberty's aid. Apparently, the jets were armed only with nuclear weapons. When word reached the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara became irate and ordered the jets to return. "Tell the Sixth Fleet to get those aircraft back immediately," he barked. McNamara's injunction was reiterated in saltier terms by Admiral David L. McDonald, the chief of Naval Operations: "You get those fucking airplanes back on deck, and you get them back down." The planes turned around. And the attack on the Liberty continued.
After the Israeli fighter jets had emptied their arsenal of rockets, three Israeli attack boats approached the Liberty. Two torpedoes were launched at the crippled ship, one tore a 40-foot wide hole in the hull, flooding the lower compartments, and killing more than a dozen American sailors.
As the Liberty listed in the choppy seas, its deck aflame, crew members dropped life rafts into the water and prepared to scuttle the ship. Given the number of wounded, this was going to be a dangerous operation. But it soon proved impossible, as the Israeli attack boats strafed the rafts with machine gun fire. No body was going to get out alive that way.
After more than two hours of unremitting assault, the Israelis finally halted their attack. One of the torpedo boats approached the Liberty. An officer asked in English over a bullhorn: "Do you need any help?"
The wounded commander of the Liberty, Lt. William McGonagle, instructed the quartermaster to respond emphatically: "Fuck you."
@Anonymous: leave the sons a bitches alone and cut off their welfare payments. we sell arms to both sides, then wonder why they are trying to cut each others greasy throats. if they want to sell us the oil, fine. if they dont, then it would be only a short time before they start starving. let the dumb bastards kill each other over shithole property. take the religion, our form of halfassed govt,and our state dept. out of this crap and and maybe they could get along.
