"Was Israel Right to Invade Gaza?" No,because Israel has Gaza so boxed-in that the people cannot breathe. She has cut off their routes for food, supplies, and other necessities. They were getting along just fine until 1967 when Israel performed a sneak attack on the Egyptian forces, capturing almost all of the Egyptian Air Force on the ground -- which proves the Egyptians were not the aggressors, but the Israeli forces were! (See: The Body of Secrets" by James Bamford, who sued the U.S. government under the Freedom of Information Act to get much of his information.) On June 8th, 1967, a squadron of Israeli unmarked planes, without warning, attacked our ship, USS Liberty, off the coast of Egypt,where they killed 34 of our sailors, and wounded another 179, in order to sink the ship and silence the crew. Why? Because the Israeli forces knew that our sailors knew, that Israel started that war, not the Arabs. (See: www.ussliberty.com, a site set up by our sailors, who were there! Also see the book: "Assault on the Liberty" by James M. Ennes, Jr.,an officer of the Liberty). At first Israel denied it, but when she found out we were on to her, she admitted it, but claimed that she mistook it for an Egyptian Horse ship, A ship that is used to carry horses to ground war for the soldiers to use. It was obvious to all, however, that the ship had no horses and could not, because their was no room on Liberty for anything. It was an electronic spy ship, and was loaded with radar dishes for ascertaining height and range of objects, and other equipment, including four machine guns. There was no room for any horses! Our sailors were sunbathing on the deck of the ship at the start of the Israeli attack. Not the picture one would expect for a ship supposedly carrying soldiers and horses to war! And our sailors would not look very Egyptian! We have every color of the rainbow in our navy -- red heads, blonds, browns, blacks, bald, etc. Furthermore, the name of our ship was printed in the side in English, in the normal manner, and not in Arabic, as would be expected of Egyptian ships. Prior to the attack, a propeller driven plane, similar to our Flying Boxcar, passed over the Liberty about thirteen times in a six-hour period. It was set up as photo-reconnaissance plane, taking pictures, which were transmitted to their intelligence organization. There is no way they could have mistaken us for Egyptians. So, why the attack? To silence the crew! To shut them up. To sink the ship, and cover up the fact that Israel started the war and continued to fight, even after the truce was called, so that she could get the land she wanted for herself. She wanted "Lebensraum" (Living Room), just what Hitler wanted and why he attacked his neighbors in Europe. (See the books and site above for more details.) |
