    An incident not many are aware of: but in 1967, Israel deliberately bombed a US Naval Ship, this was planned and coordination with the United States Government, who ordered no aid be provided.

    The goal was to sink the ship, blame it on the Arabs, and get the US into a big war in the Middle East.
    But the ship survived, barely, 1/3rd of the crew survived. They were threatened with imprisonment or murder if they talked. But eventually, they all opened up and told their story.

    You'll hear people white wash this incident, saying it was just an accident, but no, listen to the evidence, and the testimony of the crew that was there.

    Here is an interview with one of the survivors. It's important the public comes to terms with the depths of depravity our leaders have engaged with over the years. And I also believe it's important to bear this incident in mind with how our Federal government has been so supportive of Israel.

    The US has engaged in "depravity" from its inception (slavery anyone?). It's what made America so "great". It's like you're just finding all this out. Do you really believe Pearl Harbor (or 9/11 for that matter) was a complete and utter surprise? The US was at least partially complicit in both examples. You're way, way behind (in this instance 57 years). Try to keep up. You still have five and a half decades to catch up on.....

    Are we blaming Obama or Biden for this?

    My dad would always talk about how when he was in college, "gas was" like 36 cents a gallon and how unfair it is now

    When my brother told him about the inflation calculator, he kinda shut up.

    The unfortunate truth is there is an unbelievably evil little country in the Middle East who’s dual citizens inhabit an over represented portion of our government, and that country seems to be lurking in the background of nearly every horrible event in the last 50-60 years.

    Nah just playing. Saying that would be antisemitic.

    You can’t help getting mad even when he’s right and you’re agreeing with him?

    Is the point of the post to give Candace Owens more watch time on Youtube?

    Do you really need an incident from 1967 to get big mad online about Israel? Do any of the other more modern events ruffle your feathers?

    You could have said basically the same thing without the charged language and it might have made sense without sounding like you've been huffing fash podcasts for the past 8 years

    Fearmongering against Israel? Yeah, their hands are as dirty as ours, but what...you want us to be afraid of Jewish people? Yeah, you are right...that's antisemitic.

    Bad leaders doesn't mean the people are bad.

    Which part of that post made any indication toward being afraid of Jewish people? Just curious how you got that out of me criticizing a country.

    So you agree with me, but also feel inclined to distance yourself from the assertion. Got it. Let us all know when you’re brave enough to have an opinion.

    Because you also brought up Jewish citizens so e of which are in our government. You clearly made it sound as though we should be afraid of that "evil" country and their people.

    I said dual citizens in our government. That is an extremely specific group of people and far detached from just ‘Jews in general’. These are people who also happen to be politicians with extremely powerful influence on our international policy. Juxtapose that against the awful policies that are done by our government in the name of Israel and…yeah, if you can’t draw a correlation there I cannot help you. I guess just keep throwing accusations of bigotry around while the world burns.

    It's much angrier sounding in its original German

    Again, you make it sound as though we should be afraid of them. These politicians in our government...just because they are Jewish.

    Not mad. Just don't need to hear his whining about an incident that occurred almost 6 decades ago that was actually no big secret. Nor does he need to tell us how fucked up our government can be. Been there, done it, seen it and the next four years is going to set new standards in government "depravity". Basically, what's his point?

    Basically, whats your point? You seem to have zero standards as far as our government is concerned, so why even worry about Trump? If other countries can murder our sailors and drag us into countless wars while you throw up your hands and say “duh, we all know they do that” then it makes your doomsday warnings about Trump seem pretty pointless and contradictory.
