Introduction

This page is meant to shine a light on the abhorrent and hypocritical mindset of the state of Israel and Jewish people. Though many of these are just single incidents, one of the recurring themes is the complete lack of condemnation or remorse from Israel, Jewish organizations, and Jews themselves. 

2003 Rachel Corrie

Main Page: Murder of Rachel Corrie

Forces (IDF) bulldozer during a protest against the demolition of Palestinian

1967 USS Liberty

Main page: USS Liberty Attack

The USS Liberty was a US research vessel that attacked and damaged beyond
repair by the Israeli Air Force and the Israeli Navy. The attack took place
on June 8th 1967, lasted hours, killed 34 US servicemen, and wounded an
additional 171. There is an extensive amount of evidence showing intent,
reports and statements that completely contradict the statements told by the
US accounts (which were overwhelmingly consistent), suspiciously rushed
investigations done by the US along with many omissions, Israel being
unwilling to pay restitution, and the official investigation done by Israel
finding no wrongdoing on their part, despite there being at the very least
gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life.
