i've know about it for decades.
few americans even heard about it b/c: guess who controls the US MSM?
how many know about the young girl from Wash state that was run over & killed by an israeli bulldozer while protesting the dispossesion of palestinians from their land.

                                        Yes. A US spy ship, flying the US flag and attacked at close range - no pilot could have not known. And, in international waters.

                                        I cannot say anything about Israel without incurring the wrath of all kinds of people.

                                        If it is the truth, you have nothing to fear but unfounded barbs of criticism. Israel should not be above reproach when they do wrong; no nation should be above reproach.
@Beowulfsfriend Thamnk you for your kind and optimistic thoughts. I am an outspoken and educated German woman. and have never had a discussion about the state of Israel that did not result in the word nazi to slip into my American debate partner's argument. Even when i point out that my age precludes me from ever having beem part of that movement.
Oh well, now you have your own Nazis.  Maybe you can leave me alone now.
@Spinliesel I have found the Germans I've met well taught about the "war." And vey knowledgeable in general.
i've had a few discussions in which i was critical of israel's treatment of the palestinians & have found that most ppl will remain sympathetic to israel regardless of the infractions against the geneva conventions they've committed.
