Plenty of people outraged about it, especially the survivors, but they were in a spy ship so. . .
It seemed obvious that the Israelis were trying to pull something off.


The documentary was produced by the BBC and it's called Dead In The Water. Much more information available here:

Paul Findley's book on the Israel Lobby addresses the intimidation applied to US media to keep stories like that of the attack on the Liberty off the US airwaves.

Terrible loss of life for the British that day, but I think that unconscionable act by the Likudian-fascists is partially responsible for my ability to get coverage of the Middle East from the British media today that doesn't make me want to vomit.

British anger at terror celebration
By Ned Parker and Stephen Farrell

The commemoration of Israeli bombings that killing 92 people has caused offence

AS ISRAEL wages war against Hezbollah “terrorists” in Lebanon, Britain has protested about the celebration by right-wing Israelis of a Jewish “act of terrorism” against British rule 60 years ago this week.

The rightwingers, including Binyamin Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister, are commemorating the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the headquarters of British rule, that killed 92 people and helped to drive the British from Palestine.

They have erected a plaque outside the restored building, and are holding a two-day seminar with speeches and a tour of the hotel by one of the Jewish resistance fighters involved in the attack.

Simon McDonald, the British Ambassador in Tel Aviv, and John Jenkins, the Consul-General in Jerusalem, have written to the municipality, stating: “We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of many lives, to be commemorated.”

In particular they demanded the removal of the plaque that pays tribute to the Irgun, the Jewish resistance branch headed by Menachem Begin, the future Prime Minister, which carried out the attack on July 22, 1946.

Jewish cowards they can never fight face to face , man to man ....but they use planes, ships to bomb from miles away!!!!!!!


Like all advanced militaries, they use the best technology of the arms merchants to soften up populations from a distance first, but then, unfortunately, they will fight face to face next, as we are seeing in South Lebanon

Hizbollah is very bad as well. They have much, much less of my sympathy than the Palestinians. The civilian population of Lebanon is taking a beating because, as you say, they are being carelessly bombed for not driving Hizbollah out of Lebanon. They should not be punished as they are. Israel should have began with a ground operation and spared the infrastructure. The IDF would still be excessive because that's their nature towards populations they regard as subhuman animals, but at least the evacuees would have homes to come back to.

Israeli aggression can be examined without employing anti-semitic ( a useless term as normally applied, since most Arabs are semites themselves, and Khazars and Ashkenazis are not ) rhetoric and wild allegations. You take your own course, jimmyc, I'm just saying how I would go about it.
