Makes you wonder if Miduras was on the Israeli hit list. Also wonder how Israel attained a list of who was on board. When Israel is involved, it's hard to keep a secret. I'm sure a "thorough" investigation will clear Israel of any wrongdoing...just like the assault on the USS Liberty.

Excuse me Sarah. You are writing from the USA, and are defending an attack on a US vessel? THAT IS treason. If you truly feel that way I suggest you leave the United States and likely renounce American citizenship

@14 - So the USA was aiding Israel with arms, intelligence and diplomatic cover while at the same time trying to support the Egyptians? Also you seem to imply the USA would somehow have been threatened by a declaration of war by Israel? Do you even realize how incoherent your arguments sound? Israel depends on US support for its existence, and not the other way around.

If that were the case, why would the US be scared shitless of saying anythink to Israel? Also, the US is losing thousands in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to ensure the safery of Israelis. How many Israelis are dying? Now, you tell me who controls whom?
