Candice Owens & the USS Liberty...

"Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander... I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.”—Secretary of State Dean Rusk
Friends + Interlocutors,
Congrats to Candice Owens. She has just been named the anti-Semite of the year. What put her over the top was her recent interview with a surviving crew member of the USS Liberty. I suppose this answers the question, “Can the truth be anti-Semitic?” The folks giving such an award must be out of their minds.
I usually put “anti-Semitic” in quotes because the Jewish leaders who created Israel from the British Mandate in Palestine were from Poland and Russia, and were Ashkenazi, not Semites. The vast majority of the “Israelis” are not Semites. The indigenes, the Palestinian Arabs, are the Semites in this unfortunate, deadly drama. They now live as helots under military occupation or in refugee camps outside Israel. This would be ironic, if it were not so tragic.
