54 Years Today: Despite Flying the American Flag, Being Painted with the American Flag, and Sending out Distress Signals in Perfect American English, America's Great Ally Attacked This Ship Killing 34 and Wounding 171. Israel Paid 13 Million as Compensation. We Give Them Billions Each Year.

The US should cease ALL "foreign aid" immediately. To ALL nations!

Nice idea, but won't happen. The "foreign aid" are bribes, which give the State Department a fun playground to build kingdoms in. Without it, their own power would decrease and they'd throw a fit.

The UK is currently reducing its foreign aid budget from 0.7% GDP to 0.5% GDP and a similar temper tantrum is going on there. Bullshit about "won't somebody think of the children...you're killing children by doing this" when all that's happening is government agencies and NGOs are seeing their power decrease. I always thank the Simpsons for letting me see through what a bullshit move "won't somebody think of the children" is.

'But Sir, It’s an American Ship.' 'Never Mind, Hit Her!' When Israel Attacked USS Liberty

Israeli pilot to IDF war room: This is an American ship. Do you still want us to attack?

IDF war room to Israeli pilot: Yes, follow orders.

Israeli pilot to IDF war room: But sir, it’s an American ship - I can see the flag!

IDF war room to Israeli pilot: Never mind; hit it.

What would be the reason for the attack if they knew it was an American ship?

[–]Chipit 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Liberty was an intelligence snooper, and they were doing some dirty deeds to the Arabs and didn't want anyone watching.

Why should I believe you did not make this up on the spot?

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

This is all well-known; look it up yourself. It wasn't a mistake, it was done for a reason.

Have you considered that people spreading such ideas could be foreign agents trying to weaken the US?

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

The simplest explanation is the most likely. Israel really really really doesn't want to talk about this. It's more likely YOU are the foreign agent. We know for a fact that Israel recruits people like you to go online and post for them. Here's a recruiting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWD5xiiafBc&t=19s

Israel has a propaganda app that guides an army into different parts of the internet so they can flood them with reports, vote/like manipulate, and post ready to use propaganda material to misinform the public and censor criticism. Could this be you? I doubt it, Saidit is too small to bother with. BUT you are certainly indistinguishable from them.

[–]Archie 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

The simplest explanation is that this was accidental friendly fire, something that happened dozens of times with american troops in every single war.

I wish I could get money for being sane.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Nope, we have the transcripts where the pilot clearly identified the ship as American, can see the flag, and was ordered to bomb anyway.

[–]Archie 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That happened dozens of time and in every war the US was involved in. Look up friendly fire incidents in the gulf wars for example. Sometimes it's the execs on the ground who simply don't believe everything the pilot tell them (or assume it's a false flag) and think their info is better, sometimes it's the other way around.

The idiots and retards in the US still give Israel $4B a year in free money (welfare).

They sailed into the middle of a war zone and refused to announce themselves.

Utter morons and the US should apologize.
