		<description>You have produced absolutely nothing but rumors. You have no case. And keep your petty insults at home. 
 
What your youngest child does is merely a reflection of his parent.  Nothing more, nothing less. </description>

		<description>My youngest kid, when confronted with the truth will slap his hands across his eyes and say I don&#039;t see it. He thinks he&#039;s being cute. We&#039;ve decided to ignore him when he gets like this. What&#039;s the point, it just encourages him. </description>

		<description>The pilot with no name was arrested. But no one knows who he is. And this is believable. 
 
The other evidence will also never be seen, and this is believable. 
 
Evidence that no one can see and a witness no one can know. And this is your proof. Something about clutching at straws? 
 
Other than the Lavon affair, which was in Egypt and 50 years ago, the others were all smoke and mirrors. Not proof of anything. To use an event that occured 50 years ago is definately clutching at straws. </description>

		<description>Did you read the links I sent you?  He was arrested when he landed for not following orders to bomb a US navy vessel. 
 
What was that you said about real peopel admiring Israel? 
 
The transcript from the EC-121 will never be seen because it is classified.  Is it that hard for oyu to fathon that the reason the one you linked to was declassified was becasue it was not incriminating? 
 
Former Intelligence agents rarely tell tall tales Chris because they can too easily be refuted.  Have you read the Beamford&#039;s book,  Body of Secrets, or are you just guessing to it&#039;s contents?   
 
I will most certainly be reading it when I have the chance. 
 
I am not surprised you choose not to believe these arguments.  It would turn your world upside down to aknowledge that this is how ruthlessly Israel has been in pursuit of it&#039;s interests.  You are clutching at straws. 
 
Whether it was the USS Liberty or the Lavon Affair (aka Suzanna Project), or the israeli spy scandals that have rocked the US, Israel has long exhibited a willingness to even step all over it&#039;s main benefactor in persuti if it&#039;s own interests - and often taking this to extremes. </description>

		<description>The pilot with no name? This is a source? I didn&#039;t see anything about a &quot; US Navy EC-121 intelligence aircraft was flying high overhead the &#8216;Liberty,&#8217; electronically recorded the attack.&quot;  Nor did I see a transcript. Nor was there any proof of any of the stories you are using. 
Pretty much a tall tale as you have relayed it. 
 
The best is the pilot with no name. I sure believed him. </description>

		<description>The attack on &#039;Liberty&#039; was fading into obscurity until intelligence expert James Bamford came out with Body of Secrets, his latest book about the National Security Agency. In a stunning revelation, Bamford writes that unknown to Israel, a US Navy EC-121 intelligence aircraft was flying high overhead the &#039;Liberty,&#039; electronically recorded the attack. The US aircraft crew provides evidence that the Israeli pilots knew full well that they were attacking a US Navy ship flying the American flag.

According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested.

		<description>The 1967 war was only defensive according to israel.  after all, israel is the country that pre-meptively struck.  Did it not? 
 
You suggestion that Israel had everyt righ to enter those terriroties to engage the enemy makes sense, but the war ended after 6 days.  Isrel has never pulled back from those territories, so your point is entirely moot.Norman Filkenstain is one of the worlds most repsected intellects on teh issue and his debate with Shlomo Ben Ami proves that he knows as much abot he subject as anyone.  His dissection of the the book on eh subject of Israel by Allan Dershowitz is internationalyl acclaimed and recognised. 
 
Palestines clai to the land is protected under the geneva Conventions, especialyl article 49. 
 
There really is no case for Israel with regard to the occupied territories here Chris so I don&#039;t knwo why you insist on arguing from a position of such weakness. </description>

		<description>They were very conclusive. And they were the transcripts. You have not mentioned who this pilot was that tells a different story that israel has not refuted. 
 
As the other nations involved refused to initiate peace treaty talks, there was nothing Israel could do about the lines. 
 
As they were fighting a defensive war in 1967, they had every right to enter those areas to engage the enemy. And Jordan and Egypt had no legal right to be in those regions.  
 
Norman Finklestein is not an expert in the field.  Like you, he is a layman with an opinion. 
 
Nothing here has been stated about the Palestinian&#039;s claim being legitimate or illegitimate, just that they are not a nation and have never been a nation. </description>
