06-12-07 - Telegrams cast doubt on Liberty report In each of 25 telegrams seen by Navy Times, the Navy was calling the attack an accident well before its court of inquiry ever convened.

06-12-07 - PDF file from the VFW : In Awesome Heroism In Defense of the USS Liberty Suffice it to say
that crewmen have no doubt the attack
was deliberate. Unfortunately, the heroism
of the crew is far too often lost
amidst this controversy. Israel intended to sink that ship. It was due to the sheer heroic efforts of those on board that that ship stayed afloat. The survivors and the families of the victims that did not make it have been denied justice for 40 years now. Why not print out this piece by the VFW and show it to your friends and family (who likely have never heard of this ship and its fate)? It's time that all of America knows of this tragedy and properly honors all those aboard that fateful day.

06-12-07 - US damaging Israel's qualitative edge, warn officials In the unstable political atmosphere that characterizes much of the Arab Middle East, successive American administrations have vowed to help maintain Israel's qualitative military edge over its enemies. The current backtracking on that promise has elicited threats from Jerusalem to call into action the pro-Israel lobby on Capitol Hill in order to scuttle the Saudi arms deal.
Now, note the source. Israel is threatening to call it's pro-Israel lobby in America to change the behavior of our government. For others to suggest that there is a lobby, and that indeed it has the power to do so, is deemed the furtherance of an 'anti-Semitic canard'. Time and again, Israel and its US lobby openly discuss this overwhelming influence on our government.

06-12-07 - Book Review - Freedom Next Time: Resisting the Empire The South African boycott worked to a degree, but anytime an Israeli boycott is mentioned, it becomes an act of anti-Semitism, of academic freedom in relation to the universities, of keeping politics out of sports, of freedom to trade. While the Americans superficially sided with the boycott on South Africa, the likelihood of it doing so with Israel is extremely minimal (South Africa after all was not as important for geopolitical strategy).
