On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship. We published this article last year, but feel it’s important to post it again on the anniversary the attack where 34 Americans were slaughtered and 174 wounded.

NEW YORK – It’s an axiom in American politics that if you publicly criticize Israel or openly support the Palestinians, you are politically doomed either way. And this is more so in a presidential election year, where all candidates aspire to be more pro-Israeli than all of the inhabitants of Israel put together.
Every US politician running for office has only one agenda cast in boulders: the survival of the state of Israel, irrespective of whether Israel is right or wrong, mostly wrong. All other foreign policy issues — ranging from Cuba to Sudan — are way down the list. Unless, they directly or indirectly “threaten” the state of Israel.
