“Israel is a foreign country which ought not to be treated differently than any other friendly nation or ally. Certainly there should not be a slavish support for a theocracy which has demonstrated many times that it will kill Americans if it seems to be a good idea at the time. Don't forget the 34 sailors they murdered in their deliberate and knowing attack on the U.S.S. Liberty. First they lied and said that they didn't do it - somebody else is responsible. They never had a decent excuse why their aircraft and attack boats were made unidentifiable and did not show Israeli colors. When faced with overwhelming evidence, the finally admitted what they had done, but it was all just a big mistake. We should have broken all diplomatic and other ties with them at the time and forced them to earn back our trust.”
