They live by different rules when it comes to the US due to their control/influence over our political parties, media, etc. But you already knew that.
- dash2 6y agoI said they were concerned about the possible reputational loss. I am also skeptical of overblown arguments that Israel "controls the US media". These tend to shade into antisemitic conspiracy theories. The incident you link seems to be a good example: I see little to persuade me that the USS Liberty wasn't sunk by accident.
