Nobody sane wants to see a second holocaust inflicted on the Jewish people in that part of the world. But in the long run, lies do not serve anybody, neither America or Israel.
It is no secret that the US and Israel spy on one another and the US has even arrested and jailed some Israeli spies, Pollard for example. So, they dont’ like the US telling their secrets, so they attacked the spy ship. How hard is that to figure out?
