USS Liberty allegations; which are unproven ---- hogwash In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3,323,500 as full payment to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457 in compensation to the men who had been wounded. On 18 December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million as settlement for the U.S. claim of $7,644,146 for material damage to the Liberty itself.[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
I am baffled as to why we have not forced Israel to accept UN Resolution 242, --- again, the stranglehold jews have on our politicians in DC Israel is still an ally of the United States, and a Western style democracy. Whether you like it, or don't like it. --- an ally? I don't consider a country that has destroyed our immigration laws, spies on our government, illegally sells our technology to our enemies, and uses our nation as a bodyguard an ally. the Jews and Israel are not the enemy right now, --- don't ignore the fact that jews are THE source of the socialist movement and multiculturalism in our nation, fights against our immigration laws, pulled us into fighting their enemies in the ME, etc. the fanatical Muslims and the Nation-States that they control are, and you continously miss the big picture on this issue. --- fanatical muslims vs the religious state of Israel vs the USA choose sides carefully Again, there is a big divergence of opinion between the minority of Ron Paul supporters, who believe that it is interventionist to, "Carry A Big Stick"; I see nothing at all wrong with this aspect of our foreign policy, --- so, you think the USA should have been in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, etc? the interventionist policy has been a failure around the globe 100% of the time I don't believe that we have been interventionists for the most part in the Middle East Region, and history proves me out. --- so, you've forgotten about the Shah, Sadam Hussein, Hamid Karzai and host of others well, you are getting old ... it's understandable. LOL! Just like the example of Paul claiming that we were at war with Iran in 1953, --- interfering in their affairs of another nation is considered an act of war in my opinion because we supported the winning coup that overthrew a corrupt government, (and replaced it with another corrupt government, *e.g*.; the Shah of Iran). -- you're improving my position Where Paul sees error with this action, I don't, and neither do most of Americans. --- most ex-military and jews don't see anything wrong with interfering in the affairs of other nations ... that they lose their lives for a failed government policy is justice imo On Aug 18, 1:38 pm, Keith In Tampa <[email protected]> wrote: > I take issue with a lot of Israel's policies; (I am also familiar with the > USS Liberty allegations; which are unproven). > > I am baffled as to why we have not forced Israel to accept UN Resolution > 242, which allowed for a separate Jewish, as well as a Palestinian State. > > Having said all of the above, Israel is still an ally of the United States, > and a Western style democracy.
