Are we angry at the US for not honoring these fallen,.. or Israel for making the mistake?...
...or is this just random anger?...
What does Alex Jones think about this?...
...
PS... this originating link,.. comes from a basically
pro-Palestine, anti-Semitic site...
I don't believe the US disrespects any fallen soldiers... (I sure don't)...
Joe Meadors,..... is clearly an anti-Semitic, Palestinian activist... and this "memorial" is a concoction to attack US policy...
Nothing to do with vets, or respect...
Just political grandstanding...
I understand Meadors was on that ship, and survived...
It don't make him right in his hatred...
Peace, G'dammit!... Peace!...
As Dante, Europe's most eminent poet, once wrote : "Wise words of silence were never written"
...meaning, on this issue, any statement is an embarrassing statement.
Ethnic Palestinians are, until proven otherwise, those who lived in the Holy Land at the times of the Crusades, and regardless of religion, dressed, spoke and ate in the same fashion.

I should know, my Father in Law is of the House of David and was born in Bethlehem. He was drafted into the "Palestinian Army" in the 1930's under British rule.
Then a wise guy with a Hungarian name and an pseudo-british army uniform knocked at his door one night and evicted him and his family and drove them out of Bethlehem, because "you aren't jewish"
Excuse me?
Since when does a Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian/Russian or even German Jew have any right to tell someone who's been living in the Holy Land for over 1000 documented years...
..."You can't live here, this is my house now" ?
By the way, genetically speaking, Palestinians, Jordanians and Syrians are Semites; Israeli Jews are either Ashkenazi - hence, slavs, or Sephardic - hence Iberians.
There were precious few "Judean Jews" in the Holy Land up until 1918, as most had been killed
during the Crusades (by the Christian soldiers...)
and the survivors paid "protection money" to the ruling Muslims - as did the Christians - as is specified in the Qoran.
Honestly, the Jews never had it so good as under Turkish rule. Read history and stop saying silly things.
