So Who’s Afraid of the Israel Lobby?
by Ray McGovern
“The government is pretty jumpy about Israel…the State Department even asked the Israeli ambassador if his government had any objections to McGonagle getting the medal.”
Adding insult to injury, those of the Liberty crew who survived well enough to call for an independent investigation have been hit with charges of, you guessed it, anti-Semitism.
I found myself looking out at 400 blank stares. The USS Liberty? And so I asked how many in the audience had heard of the attack on the Liberty on June 8, 1967. Three hands went up; I called on the gentleman nearest me.
Ramrod straight he stood:
“Sir, Sergeant Bryce Lockwood, United States Marine Corps, retired. I am a member of the USS Liberty crew, Sir.”
Who's afraid of the Israeli Lobby? Damn near everyone of our bought and paid for Congress.
To ask Israel if it's "OK" to award an American the Medal of Honor is beyond disgraceful.
To ask Israel if it's "OK" to do ANYTHING in America is BEYOND DISGRACEFUL!
What a shameless bunch of bought and/or blackmailed cowards our government are. Despicable to say the least.
..as if the cowardly racial supremacists could ever be the dictators of "honour".
..the USS Liberty crew will be avenged!
..so, if the ziooser-master-supremacists object to giving a medal of honor to one of their intended victims,
it is taken back?
