The fallout from Abu Ghraib
by
Stan Goff

(Part IV)

Since the pre-emptive attack by Israel on Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon in 1967 - an attack during which Israeli fighter planes also deliberately attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 and wounding 172 US troops, to prevent the American intelligence craft from seeing what they were doing - Israel has occupied the West Bank of Jordan, the Gaza strip of Egypt, and the Golan Heights of Syria. They only recently abandoned the occupation of a "buffer zone" in Lebanon.

(Israel and its American apologists still claim the attack on the USS Liberty was an accident, but the "accident" went on for 75 minutes, against a uniquely American ship that was clearly flying an American flag. Survivors of the USS Liberty have a web site at http://www.ussliberty.org/.)

There were many reasons given for the attack, most prominently the US-supported fable that an attack was immanent against Israel. But what we never hear is that after that attack and occupation, Israel was left in control of virtually all water resources in Palestinian areas.
