Israel deliberately attacked a US Naval ship, the USS Liberty, in 1967. They killed 34 sailors and wounded 200 and the US government did absolutely nothing.
Israel's impunity goes way back.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why did they do it? How was the ship dressed?
Didn't they try to blame some other poor country for it as well? Those Israeli's are a duplicitous bunch...
Israel has the right to not only unalive American children, but to fondle them as well.
Brown and Arab American lives don't count when Israelis kill them. We've seen this when Israel killed Shareen Abuaqlah, who was a Christian American journalist but was Arab unfortunately.
And nothing will be done or even said about it.
Exactly. Not a peep from chief dingo dumbass.
It's israel who murdered them so the usa will do nothing about it
I can’t wait until we (Lebanon) get sanctioned over this.
They're also Arab-Americans presumably so Trump isn't going to care.
I am pretty sure he wouldn't care even if they was non arab americans
If that was a white family? Oh I bet he'd care.
Not necessarily. They would have to be white male conservative pedophiles for him to care because of Ya'll remember, a bunch of blonde little white girls died in a flood in Texas and he didn't bat an eye.
American imperialism is more important for trump then white people
Yeah but with the power of social media we can suddenly make random white people more pressing or at least more distracting than the imperialism...
See Melissa Hortman. He wouldn't care short of another CK. And even then, it would only go as far as his political or financial gain.
Why would the US be mad? Copy-write infringement?
A week hearing about a single nazi propagandist shot by his own people.
This is 4 Americans, 3 of them children.
If they aren't covering this more than the nazi propgandist, it's because you're being forced to watch nazi propaganda.
If they covered this people would be more likely to realize that the munitions that killed them were built in a factory in america by americans.
They must have been American Hamas terrorists then. Even the children!
Israeli forces have continued to occupy five Lebanese hilltop points by the border.
And then:
Israel frequently says it is targeting Hezbollah militants or infrastructure in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah has only claimed firing across the border once since the ceasefire, but Israel says the militant group is trying to rebuild its capabilities.
It is quite telling, isn't it?
"We were attempting to target civilians, and we hit civilians. Yeah uh, we'll review it..."
"The terrorists are using human shields"
You mean people live with their families? That doesn't make it okay to kill anyone you want.
Trump: That's a shame. I could've fucked 'em. Eh, plenty more kids in the sea.
Like always the US will just say Israel will investigate itself and do nothing else.
