I remembered the incident of one airliner takeover by Arabs in Europe where the terrorists announced they demanded to see everyone’s IDs as they went down the aisle. “Which ones of you are Jewish? We’re going to find you.”
Actually, I think that was the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking where Leon Klinghoffer got rolled overboard in his wheel chair
The 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847.
Passenger passports were collected by the hijackers
US and Israelis ( or anyone with an Israel stamp on their passport) were singled out.
US Navy Diver Robert Stethem was executed and his body dumped on the tarmac at Beirut airport.
EgyptAir hijacked 1985, similar collection of passports, DoD civilian Scarlett Roggencamp was the only pax executed by hijackers.
In at least one incident a brave flight attendant ordered to collect passports hid those of Americans.
The CIC/CIA paid known Nazi war criminals to organize spy groups in Europe, and they lost control of them. They never even knew who half of them were, and many turned out to be SS, SA and former German policemen. I'm reading a book called "Fugitives: A History of Nazi Mercenaries During the Cold War" by Danny Orbach. Our government provided these Nazi groups with a lot of money, and got very little in return. We'll probably never know the truth about the damage they did in the aftermath of the war, nor if any of the intelligence they allegedly provided, ever bore fruit.
One thing I didn't know but should have suspected was that these same Nazi spies helped other Nazi war criminals to escape Germany, and several of them turned up in the Middle East, supplying Egypt and Syria with weapons to fight Israel.
The more I read the book, the more disgusted it makes me with our government. The FBI, CIA, etc., are all members of a criminal club, and do more damage than good.
