At the risk of starting another harangue regarding a possible Israeli response to Iran�s nuclear program, I�ll throw some fuel onto the campfire. It seems that a number of campers admire Israel and wish that the US would follow its example. True, Israel exists in a dangerous part of the world and its� post-WWII settlers suffered horrible experiences at Nazi hands. The nation is beleaguered, and the US has supported it both financially and morally. How have we been repaid?

Check some of the following sites:
�http://www.ussliberty.org/� and read the report �War Crimes Report Filed by USS Liberty Survivors�. In 1968, Israel attacked a US Navy ship (USS Liberty) in international waters for a period of several hours. 34 Americans were killed in action and 173 were wounded in action, out a crew compliment of 294.

Read about deeply seated Israeli spy operations against the US that compromised intelligence and US security.

Read about Israeli investments in US telecommunication companies that conduct wire taps of US citizens (perhaps yours?).

Anyway, Israel does things to its best ally that exceed the bounds of friendship.
