Israel: apartheid state or only democracy of the Middle East?

Israel’s borders are those of 1947, and because it is a bi-national state it needs the formation of a unitary state, like Belgium. This is the view of academic and human rights activist Professor Uri Davis.

1967 USS Liberty

In June 1967, the Israel military attacked the USS Liberty. A survivor of that attack was onboard the Gaza aid flotilla and has survived yet again to tell the story.

The deliberate Israeli attack on USS Liberty, which killed and wounded young American sailors, showed the world how terrified the American politicians are of Israel. The attack also emboldened Israel to put a heavy yoke around the necks of the American people - sort of like the 200-year Mongol yoke on the Russian people. Americans are literally paying billions of dollars in tribute to the Israelis, just like the Russians paid tribute to the Mongols. The one difference is that the Mongols conquered the Russian principalities by force, while the Israelis conquered America via propaganda and brainwashing. The American people are under continual Israeli propaganda barrage being spread by newspapers, TV, and radio talks shows hyping the same Israeli version of "peaceful Israeli commandos" being attacked by "hateful passengers" - over and over again. But, the survivors of the Israeli attack can not be silenced by Israel and the truth is coming out.

Kihnu, your statement ".....while the Israelis conquered America via propaganda and brainwashing" is missing one other important piece - money. Lots and lots of money in fact. Countless millions are paid to, lets just say various influential people, in order to ensure that a pro Israeli stance is maintained by the US administration. This has been going on for so long in the USA that it is not covered up or hidden in any way, in fact it is now accepted as normal. It has got to the point where many US politians are now unable to run for office without the 'support' of the various pro Israeli groups. As I have stated many times before - the tail waggs the dog when it comes to US / Israeli relations.

It just goes to show that israel is considered a friend by those who have not yet gotten in its way. Those who have, know very well that israel is no ally or friend. they don't care who they kill, ally or not.

The U.S. must stand up to the ISRAELI LOBBY and BLOCKADE ISRAEL. This week Israel ATTACKED the flotilla of ships with humanitarian aid for GAZA killing at least 10. This brings to mind the June 8, 1967 ISRAELI ATTACK on the USS LIBERTY that killed 34 and wounded 174 U.S. Navy Servicemen. It's time to hold Israel Accountable!!! Remember the LIBERTY!

USS Liberty was send close to Egypt and Israel maritime border to "listen" was going on, on Pentagon orders.This boat was almost unarm and his purpose is gathering informations-intercepting other comunications. Somehow Israel jets and latter Navy boats, "sudenly for no reason" attack them.They itend to kill most of them and sunk the boat but boat refuse to sank..Just 30 km away all USA 6 flottila was at stand bay-with aircraft cariers. Some years ago I watch on TV some of those who survive..Officers and others cried, when they listen calls for help from USS Libetry but was FORBITEN to act by Pentagon orders.Israeli attack lasted for HOURS and help wich never arive, was only 10 minutes away! At the same time from aircraft carrier , a jet with nuclear bomb was planing to fly to Cairo and ofcourse drop on city his deathly cargo....Plan was to "blame" Egypt for USS Liberty! At the same times Russia have close by their own boat alike USS Liberty and they been listening all of this.Just becouse they know whats going on, Russia warn Usa not to drop nuclear bomb on Cairo! Almost in last 2 minutes plan was aborted. Till today Usa and Israel been "silent" on this issue.Nevertheless, It was a crime to kill all those people onboard USS Liberty in INTERNATIONAL WATERS and against INTERNATIONA LAW! Also,this accident said a lot about true nature of Usa and Israel...Recently attack on Aid Flottila ship is just a proof that "show" is alive and well and must go on....Honor to all those who fallen on USS Liberty-you done your duty but you been used for "higher reasons".My condolences to famillies of those who been killed on USS Liberty...Thank you.

Why is everyone blaming Israel for the USS Liberty incidence? After all it takes two to tango. The Event was a false flag operation that backfired. The Israel independent investigation which they seem to love so much, claimed it was mistaken identity with an egyptian ship the El Quseir despite it was of different shape and tonnage. Why is it that I like many others think it was a false flag operation? Well for they following facts 1. the ship was clearly marked, Its military signals were jammed showing that the Israelis clearly knew what it was. One of the pilots involved claimed later that he clearly identified it and reported back.but was still ordered to proceed with the attack. 2. on two occasions, the nearby US fleet scrambled its fighters to assist and were ordered back by the white house itself. 3.Medals wear issued to its crew in secret and not in a pubic ceremony at the white house. The IDF were also by some reports attacking sailors in the water which is a war crime on its own.Clearly no survivors were intended But what was the aim? It is generally believed that it was to bring the USA into the war on the side of Israel openly by claiming it was the Egyptians that attacked and sank the ship. In one documentary I saw, planes on the US fleet in the area were armed with nuclear bombs ready to retaliate against Egypt. In one report, the attack stopped only when a soviet spy trawler came along side and started filming the attack.If true, it would be ironic that the US sailors were saved by the Soviets from an American ally Israel

Jim: "Countless millions are paid to, lets just say various influential people, in order to ensure that a pro Israeli stance is maintained by the US administration." Very true. The American people naively believe that their democratic process ensures competent leadership for the country, but they are seriously mistaken in this foolish belief. America will eventually be destroyed not by a foreign military invasion, but by their own sordid political system. American political system, called "democracy" ensures that only scoundrels get elected. A decent patriotic American who refused to be bribed or threatened by AIPAC (Israeli lobby) will be torn apart before his campaign can even get started. Israel has literally put a yoke around the necks of the American people to ensure that they continue annually paying billions of dollars in tribute to Israel. The Russians were finally able to rip the Mongol yoke off their necks after 200 years; however, I doubt that the American people have the courage to do the same with the Israeli yoke.

Most of the money AIPAC is spending in America is either used to bribe the politicians or brainwash the American people. RT had an excellent presentation last month of how American movies portray the Arabs in the most vile and disgusting manner possible. The pro-Israeli brainwashing of the American people has been more effective than Pavlov's training of his dogs to salivate at the ring of a bell.
