Wonder why no one ever asks where Israel got their enriched Uranium for their first few nuclear devices? I hope they got it from us. They are the good guys.

Tell that to the 34 sailors killed on the USSLiberty when Israeli planes attacked it during the 6 day war.

You're either with the Ayrabs or the Jews, Janelong. There is no in between in this one.

In my book, anyway.

And I file the middle east under Eff the Ayrabs. They are the enemy of my people. That makes the Jews and Israel my ally.

I'm a bottom line guy.

Ah yes, 34 dead. Due to what? Bad communications at the time? Our ship gathering intel and intel communications against both Egypt and Israel; as in spying against an Ally? Simply friendly fire, or the fog of war?

Is this misfortune enough to say Israel is part of the cabal (bad guys)? Israel, as a sovereign nation, has their own self interests to worry about in that region.

As a nation they sure have been expected to follow our lead often enough to say they are kowtowed to the US interests.

I’d think it’s time to let that episode go.
