    I could go on, but you get the picture.

    If anyone is taking up a collection for Ralph Lopez's bad tinfoil habit, I'll contribute. Let's get the young lad some industrial grade stuff - the ordinary household stuff clearly isn't doing shit for him.

    Six-Day War
    The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS
    Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats,
    on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[2] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew
    members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian), wounded 171 crew members,
    and severely damaged the ship.[3] At the time, the ship was in international waters north
    of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city
    of Arish.[1][4]
    Israel apologized for the attack, saying that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error
    after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship.[5] Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted
    inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion
    about the ship's identity,[6] though others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected
    these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.[7]
    In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3,323,500 (US$22.6 million 2015) in compensation to
    the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457
    to the men who had been wounded. On 18 December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million as settlement
    for the final U.S. bill of $17,132,709 for material damage to Liberty herself plus 13 years'
    interest.[8]
    Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted
    inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion
    about the ship's identity,[6] though others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected
    these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.

    I completely disagree . Wiki source cited above and a source of my own--story told to me in the early 80's by a man whose relative( his uncle I believe) was on the ship and injured. He swore the Israeli's knew and we knew they knew , but were sending a message to us. That message was "dont ffkk with us"!!!

    And had we tried to defeat them this nation would have been destroyed IMHO... GOD WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER COURSE THAN THE ONE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IMHO..
    (STILL MY NATIVE AMERICAN BLOOD BOILS AT THEM GETTING BY WITH GUNNING DOWN OUR GUYS AND GETTING BY WITH IT)..
    STILL IT BOILS EVERY TIME THIS SUBJECT COMES UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We should remember that at that time Israel as a modern nation was less than 20 years old and were fighting for their very survival. USA was not at that point its staunch ally.
    I'll go to my grave believing that they knew all along that we spied on them too and they resented that!
    Remember even then , we could not be trusted with secrets! And we had what we thought were ARAB NATIONS AS ALLIES!
    My thinking is either Israel thought or else they knew we were feeding info to both sides(I THINK WE WERE)!
    Remember we were highly, highly, highly dependent on Arab oil!

    I GO WITH THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND THE JUDGMENT OF THE WOUNDED SURVIVORS OF THAT SHIP.--Tyr
