Israel 1967.

Is there anything more stomach turning than listening to an Israeli leader telling off an American President? Watching Netanyahu with his huge IQ rolling out the old platitudes for an embarrassingly docile Obama with his silly reference to the 1967 border is like watching a snake swallow a mouse.

The border change that came in 1967 following the so called '6 day war' saw Israel bombing and killing all around them with great success, including the American ship they attacked on June 8, 1967. 

The USS Liberty was in 1967 the US Navy's most advanced surveillance ship, patrolling the Mediterranean in International waters within monitoring distance of Israel during the 6 day war under the command of Captain William McGonagle, when IDF boats and planes launched a sustained attack on her, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 crew.

This attack provides a pretty clear indication of Israels position when it comes to American interference with Israels right to self defense by whatever means necessary, be it the seizure of neighboring land, or the bombing of American ships and killing of American Sailors.

If ever there was substance to the idea that pro Zionist influence runs a controlling hand over News media, it may be found in the total exclusion of the USS Liberty's attack by Israel from any mainstream press. 

IDF Planes strafe an American Navy ship flying the American flag, repeatedly, while IDF Boats launch torpedoes and make every effort to sink her. 34 Americans die and only  heroic defensive action by the American sailors prevented the ship and all who sailed on her going to the bottom of the Ocean under the weight of IDF fired missiles and torpedoes, which we can safely assume were paid for by American Israeli funding.  
And the reaction from the Worlds press is - Nothing to see here.
  The surviving crew of the USS Liberty, led by Captain William McGonagle, must have been as surprised as we all are to see how quickly the entire event was denied. 

To this day, despite the heavyweight representations by high level US Navy leaders, there has never been any accountability for the attack and killing of American sailors by the IDF. 

This is because Israel can attack anyone with impunity, including American Navy ships. It seems strange that Obama would be the only recent American President unaware of this.

Following the swift burial of the USS Liberty story, survivors of the IDF attack on that ship presented a War Crimes report. 

"The United States is obligated by law and by international treaty to investigate all reports of war crimes by or against United States Forces. This report obligates such an investigation. We are still waiting patiently for a reply." 

Obama with his tremendous enthusiasm for promoting revenge on those who launch attacks on America may well be playing a double bluff with the brilliant Netanyahu. Perhaps this is his strategy all along. Does the US at last have a leader prepared to avenge the dead of the USS Liberty?
On 8th June it will be 44 years.

Here is the USS LIBERTY memorial  website, by survivors of the IDF attack, in case you are unfamiliar with the events of 8 June 1967, some 40 km out to sea.
