where in the world does this propoganda come from? syria has chemical weapons... yeah, right. and pigs can fly. they know if they were to ever get them, the use would prompt a nuclear response from israel

In Syria and Iran. Americans, WE DO NOT NEED TO HAVE OUR AMERICAN KIDS DYING FOR ISRAEL< A RACIST STATE in the Middle East ( and nor can we AFFORD it) - ISRAEL is NOT A DEMOCRACY- it priveleges ONE RACE- The Jewish race.

Ihope all the Americans think by this way , Israel is using America as a stick to beat the Arabs with it , the Americans should push over their gevernments to hand over helping and blind supporting Israel because the American people pay the prise with money , fears , lifes and politacaly ... it's about time for the American people to stand against the Jwish loby in America and to elect only presidents who looks for fair peace without wars ... we need more love and peace than wars and hate and this will never come without pressing over Israel to listen to the voice of justic even if it has to be by isolating Israel from the international comunity till they learn that they are not alone on the earth and there alot og good things which is not Jew they have to respect it ... my best regards to you and everyone who think like you .... peace on you all ... God bless all the good people

I don't understand you. You claim to want more peace, love and harmony among manking, but in the same breath you are slandering Jews? This does not jive...also, your grammar sucks!

The way YOU describe it, sounds like Israel "the racist state", which is surrounded by switzerland-like democracies, is the one starving for war and destruction... Where do YOU get YOUR propaganda from? Check your facts and you will discover that Syria had purchased a bunch of missiles from Russia very recently. Syria is making an effort to improve its missile capability and has proved the world time and again that it is supportive of terror states such as Iran and the Former Iraqi regime. Supportive not by words but by actions with hard evidence. Should we take these missile experiments as Peace signals from Syria? Next thing you will say that the 'Jewish Lobby' in the States is behind everything and it is all one big Zionist conpiracy. Its just the way it is with us - Jewish racists, right? I don't know what nationality or background you have... but try taking a trip once to one of the 'less-racist countries' in the middle-east such as Syria, Iran (where human rights know to be a 'priority') Lybia if just to name a few and tell me how SAFE you feel there as a westener - Jew or not. Good luck with this one. Hope you won't end up rutting in jail there or worse. Last thing: When calling one a racist, a person or a nation, please bare in mind - IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE!

Seems that both talkback #2 and #3 both didn't identify themselves with a name or location to indicate their background. You are both narrow-minded and pathetic. The real irony of course is that you spread your crap on Iarseli news websites. Maybe you should try Al-Jazeera? I'm sure it is not controlled by any 'Jewish Lobby'...

'Liberty' Survivors Can Never Forget by David Rossie There will be no bands to greet them, no parades and no presidential platitudes honoring their sacrifices. Not that they are undeserving. Far from it. They are survivors of the crew of one of the U.S. Navy's most decorated ships. They were members of a crew that in one horrific day, in 1967, earned two Navy Crosses, 11 Silver Stars, 20 Bronze Stars and 204 Purple Hearts; a casualty rate of 70 percent in a crew of 294. And their skipper received the Medal of Honor. These are the men of the USS Liberty. If you've never heard of these men and their ship and their brush with death, that's by design -- the design of their own government. In 1967, Liberty was the most sophisticated intelligence-gathering or spy ship in the U.S. fleet. On June 8, during the Six Day War involving Israel and its neighbors, Liberty was in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula when it was attacked without warning by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats. The attacks on the lightly armed vessel began with aircraft cannon, rocket and machine gun fire, and napalm. Following the air strikes, Liberty took a torpedo amidship. When crewmen lowered life rafts to rescue personnel and in preparation for abandoning ship if necessary, the torpedo boats machine-gunned the life rafts and crewmen. All told, the attacks lasted a little over two hours. During that time, Liberty 's calls for help reached the U.S. Sixth Fleet, despite Israeli jamming efforts, and the carriers Saratoga and America launched aircraft to assist the beleaguered vessel. But that help never arrived. The aircraft were recalled on direct orders from the White House. When Israel learned that the attack had been reported and Liberty was still afloat, it sent a helicopter to offer assistance, one of more hypocritical events in the annals of modern warfare. Liberty declined. Liberty eventually made it to a neutral port, with 34 of its crew dead and another 171, including its captain, Cmdr. William McGonagle, wounded. What the Israelis did was unconscionable, but understandable. They reportedly believed Liberty was transmitting intercepted Israeli military radio traffic to the Egyptians. They also reportedly feared that information about Israel's plans to seize the Golan Heights from Syria would be revealed. So they felt justified in waging an act of war against the country that had sustained it politically and financially from its inception and still does. It's worth noting, too, that some Israeli pilots refused to fly on the mission, knowing the target was an American ship. The United States' behavior during and after the attack is even more unconscionable. When the carrier pilots were recalled from their mission to aid Liberty, it marked the first time in naval history that an American rescue mission had been canceled when a U.S. vessel was under attack. Liberty crew members were ordered to remain silent about the attack and were threatened with courts martial and imprisonment if they talked. They were not called to testify in a Navy court of inquiry, and Congress never convened an investigation of the incident. Cmdr. McGonagle received the Medal of Honor for his heroic efforts to save his ship, but he didn't get it from Lyndon Johnson, as would have been customary. He got it from the Secretary of the Navy in a quiet ceremony at the Navy Yard in Washington. Israel paid reparations to the survivors and next of kin of the dead, with money it got from the United States. So, as they have done since 1982, Liberty veterans will gather to recall the most memorable day of the lives, a day official Washington would just as soon forget.

yes, there are many Americans coming around. that see the Israeli maniupaltion of our government- and we dont like it- AND WE WILL NOT LOSE MORE AMERICAN CHILDREN FOR THE RACIST STATE OF ISRAEL.

First Israel is occupying Palestinian pre June 6th 1967 borders and now the same Israeli agents put Mr. President inside Iraq along with our forces to fight and die for Israel and the most corrupt government on earth. Bush lie and people die. The real "spit" is from Israeli PM Sharon on the face of Bush and not from President Assad. First spit is his several dozens of NOs to President Bushs urges, "warnings", pleas to Sharon and second one is from Sharon who put Bush in Iraq as a war criminal, occupier, butcher and a liar. Credit of spitting on Bush goes to Sharon, his followers and to President Bush. Who is following Sharon in Iraq but playing trying to play Jesus Christ on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas. Bush will remain like this till he leaves Iraq, apologizes and then does the right thing. The President has nothing in his hands.

Thank you for my Saturday night laugh.You guys are trolls to look up to! Yep, blame the Jews for everything under the sun and beyond as it seems.It is a common theme you dhimmiwits use when you have run out of ideas.You lose, you will always lose, because it is your creed to be consumed by envy and animosity! That is why you hate good and honest people as you can never have true respect from anyone anywhere!

In twenty two arab countries all you can find are third world disasters because there is no democracy, only a fake theocracy. The Wall Street Journal just awarded the Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes for advanced technology to what nation? None to any of the oil rich arabs, all to tiny Israel, the nation that comprises only one tenth of one percent of the middle east. The arabs are technology failures and the Jews are helping build the world with brave new inventions. If it were not for Israeli medical technology used all around the world, there would be a lot more dead arabs, but do they ever say thanks for their healing? No, for sure not.

Baby Assad is frantically signaling that he is still capable of trashing the place. I think it is time to send some signals of our own his way. Oh, and am I mistaken in thinking that all those anonymous messages with numbers, e.g. #2, #3, are manifestations of the same troll talking to itself?

Dear David Rossie. I refer to your above article regarding the sinking of the Liberty in 1967. Could you please provide evidence to support your case that the Liberty was attacked with the full knlowledge (Israeli) of it being an American vessel. I look forward to your response.

of course you don't understand me because i am not Jew , you understand , you see , you love , you hear and you listen only to your selfs , ready with charging any body do not agree with you with the most used words in your language (terror , antisimitic , nazi , hollowcost) and to 13 , you need ivedence for sinking Liberty ? ... are you jocking ? gg ... and to 5 , i am not cowerd you stupid but it has no meaning to write details and you are not better where is your name or even from wich place stupid .... and to 6 the Jewish loby controlling only the America governments even the underware of the American presiden , to 11 the arabs had one of the first civilisations in the history in medecin , mathimatec engineering and that's why the west didn't leave them in peace war after war and just to remind you that only in the last 10 years tow egyptians got Nobel prise in letrature and since ( Naguib Mahfuz and Ahmed Zwail) but you study only what suits you ...gg..... I wish from the bottom of my heart that not all the Jews thinking by this way and i wish for the Ameicans all the best in the future and not to let their government to fall any more in suck Israelians traps ..... Shalom

smile

Wow, you are angry. At least we're not killing each other, which has got to be a positive thing. I didn't say Israel didn't attack the Liberty. I asked what evidence is there that Israel attacked the Liberty with the full knowledge that is was an American vessel. And how on earth do you know the American president wears underwear made by Jews? Could you please let me know. I'm sure the manufacturer of the underwear will be delighted. What a great marketing campaign that would make. xxxxx underwear. As worn by the president of the United States. Brilliant !

Sirya is a dictatership like all the 22 arabic countries plus Israel, where if you are Jewish you are the best and if not you risk your bone getting broken by the police, starting from your arrival at bin gorion airport, where you are treated like a murder till you prove the opposit, altough all this, i think that Syria has right to test its military missiles (sorry for being anti simitic in this), but when will Jews stop their production of Nuclear bombs ??? (sorry ... also anti simitic)

The truth is that if someone proved to you that the sky was blue, you dhimmiwit trolls would deny it, and then accuse the Jews of turning it green. You deny the obvious and then slander the innocent with outright lies and rumors.Years from now when imbeciles like you are long gone, the world will laugh at you and compare you to the dim-bulbs that claimed the 'earth was flat'.Truth is you 'flathead' dhimmiwit trolls are easy to debunk and have nothing of value to say. You have no class, and it shows!

one too many for that scum

Your "ego" is embarassing. to us all- its ALL about you, no? US foreign policy, especially in regards to The racist state of Israel- in which JEWS ONLY have priveleges-- AND PROVE ME WRONG HERE_ ( i will wait) has caused not only the ARAB world to be upset with the US (via our israel/ jewish support) but much the rest of the world too. Europe is secretly- if not openly disgusted at Israel's apartheid laws. and definetly the rest of the asian and africa world-

"AND PROVE ME WRONG HERE_ ( i will wait) " Ok I will.And it's easy to! You are 100% wrong as usual.You see noname, it may be a Jewish state, but unlike your muslim countries, all religions in Israel are free to worship who and what they please.Do you like to pray to dogs and cats? Well in Israel, you are free to.Try that in a muslim country.Hey be a smart guy and go to saudi arabia and even mention praying to something other than the islamic way and I'm sure that you will have an appointment at the 'football' stadium watching them do the 'head chop' on ya! Oh, and another fact you may want to read mr.terror loving dhimmiwit, Quote " "Every person in Israel enjoys freedom of conscience, of belief, of religion, and of worship. This freedom is guaranteed to every person in every enlightened, democratic regime, and therefore it is guaranteed to every person in Israel. It is one of the fundamental principles upon which the State of Israel is based…" "Israel protects the freedom of Jews and non-Jews alike to engage in their chosen form of religious practice or worship." http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/freedom.html Face it noname, you are the racist and it is all about you.You lose as usual! Tell you what noname.I challenge you to step forward and once and for all condem/denounce all past and present terrorism against all Jews anywhere at anytime for whatever reason.How about doing that noname? "( i will wait)"

I see noname has stepped up to my challange and has done exactly what his kind always do.Run and hide..
