A sustained attack by Israel on our troops in the Mediterranean. 34 killed 174 wounded.

Air support was dispatched TWICE but called back by the traitor Lyndon Johnson. Israel feared we were overhearing their plans to commit war crimes in Egypt so they decided to take out the ship, knowing LBJ wouldn't retaliate and start a war with them.

He was also president when the USS Pueblo was seized by North Korea. No retaliation there either. MOF, they still have the ship.

I'm a supporter of Israel but this attack has me somewhat conflicted.

The Lavon Affair should put you on the correct side of the fence. That was a decade earlier where Mossad planned to false flag bomb American and British interests in Egypt and blame it on the Muslim Brotherhood so we would attack them.

Wiki

No different today. We take out Libya, Iraq, attack Syria. etc etc etc

They also have been caught numerous times selling our military tech to China.

Free Palestine ! No wait, I meant frick Palestine. It’s weird how a few letters change everything.

Also, just like we reflect back on the Brits burning down the White House or the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor , aren’t you glad we are all allies now , despite previous mistakes or conflicts ? So much to be grateful for …

The political class and their MIC donors make tons of money annually off our relationship with Israel. They'd rather keep the gravy train flowing that see justice for the families of almost 200 men who were either injured or killed. And there are still those who think their government isn't pure evil.

We were not allies with the Brits and "Germans" at the time they attacked us. Even the LBJ white house concluded that the attack was intentional.

There is no excuse for why we allow "our greatest ally" to steal from us, bribe our politicians, and sell the tech we give them.

Israel supporters have battered wife syndrome.

Cant wait to hear Psaki fumble through her explanation of why Biden forgot about this anniversary too.

All that’s true of course, but what exactly is “ justice” in this case? What would satisfy the families of these good and brave men and clean the slate ? A payment? An acknowledgement? Both ? Neither ? If the point is just to pile hate on Israel wouldn’t it be better if they never have “ justice “ and we just continue to bludgeon them with it to undermine the very idea of Israeli sovereignty? Like we do here every day/week ?

Ironically, it marks 141 days of the Biden administrations attack on US liberty.

Ending all foreign aid, for starters.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one of the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of priviliges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions. . . And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) the facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country. . .

The Israel-first crowd ignores every bit of advice our first President gave during his Farewell Address.

It's so refreshing to have a poster 100% dedicated to his obsessions

Ending “ ALL “ foreign aid may be wise or it may be foolish but it has absolutely nothing to do with “ justice “ for the Liberty families.

Yesterday you explained how Judaism invented transgenderism ( even the sophist knows that Buddhism addressed this long before Judaism ) and today you are explaining how the Jews are destroying the Country Music Awards. So your scope is vast and judging by your upvote ratio the board agrees with you overwhelmingly . Surely you can explain to me what Justice for the Pueblo families would look like . It’s a pretty straightforward question.

What will set this historic wrong right so that the United States and Israel can have an honorable alliance based on shared values and goals ?

I didn't say all foreign aid. Just to Israel. And for the families I would sanction Israel 10 billion dollars and divvy it up between Liberty families and those who died and were wounded in the Middle East during the past 20 years. I would then bring every last troop home from the region.

Was it a Buddhist or Magnus Hirschfeld that began the entire LGBT political movement in Weimar Germany and also performed the first sex change operations?

Come on now. Obviously, what we should do is allow the Muslim world to overtake and destroy Israel. For the benefit of all humanity!
