Diplomacy!
Posted: 15 Dec 09 5:44 PM
Yo I took a HIST-340 Diplomacy -War and Conflict.

The one thing I never knew was that US did not support Israel after World War 2 until the 60s.

I was surprised about this information!

Ah yes, probably after the USS Liberty attack am I right? Had an uncle on that ship, man. I don't trust Isreal, and no I'm not raceist aganist Jews.
The Prime Master read the message again. This time, by the time he finished reading, he smiled beatifically. The message included a great deal of information about the Earthman Army and airpower and their tactics. This was inteligence that would serve the Emperor's army well when it next encountered the Earthman Army. As it most assuredly would.......

The attack on the USS Liberty didn't affect US relations with Israel in any significant sense, and to this day the US has accepted the Israeli explanation that they goofed up in identifying the ship. At least officially, as I am given to understand that privately, and at high levels, the US military does NOT accept it.

I am a supporter of Israel generally (and when young actually considered immigrating and joining the Israeli Defense Forces, though I am not Jewish), but in my opinion the attack on the USS Liberty was a concious backstab on Israel's part.

That being said, I cannot fathom what anyone in Israel's leadership would think they could gain by the attack. I've heard any number of conspiracy-theorist-grade speculations, but it just doesn't add up.
