In 1973, Israel shot down
a Libyan passenger jet
that had lost its way.
I was living in Jerusalem at the time.
The Israeli reaction to world condemnation
was worse than the deed.
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
On February 21, 1973, Israel shot down a Libyan passenger jet, LN 114, bound from Tripoli to Cairo that had lost its way in a sandstorm and flew into the Sinai, occupied by Israel. The pilot, who was a French national, realized the error and turned back to Cairo. 113 passengers and crew were murdered in cold blood.
At the time, I was a 23-year-old would-be immigrant, living in Kyriat Hayovel, a suburb of Jerusalem. The ensuing spectacle of crude Zionist rationalizations and hand-wringing helped make me decide to leave Israel.
In any normal country, guilt would have been acknowledged. The official that gave the order would have been court-martialed and compensation would have been paid. But Israelis cannot admit an error.
“The whole world is against us,” my Hebrew language teacher bemoaned.
Gold Meir raised the spectacle of a Kamikaze strike on an Israeli city. Except the airliner was headed back to Cairo when it was shot down.
The Jerusalem Post said the French pilot was not licensed to fly the plane. Except it turned out he was. An American company ripped up a contract in protest. The Israelis rep[lied it was only a tender.
The well known Israeli commentator Ephraim Kishon wrote an article under the heading: “Sorrow Yes; Apologies No”
“We are proud of our air force. And it isn’t the planes we’re proud of but the young engaging human faces of our pilots. And we shake the hand of that sad man, who with a lump in his throat and a pain in his stomach, gave the order which it was his duty to give…The world is bound to view us as we view ourselves, and if one apologizes, it figures one has done wrong. We should look straight into their blue eyes and tell them: under the same mysterious circumstances we shall fire on it and shoot it down again and again.”
Another commentator blamed the Arabs for staining the record of the IDF “through their inefficiency.” He attributed world reaction to “anti Semitic tendencies abroad and a double standard of morality.”
Finally, a third commentator rationalized that the rear engines broke lose on impact and mowed their way through the passenger compartment: “Had the plane not been a Boeing 727 with engines in rear, the disaster might not have occurred.”
CONCLUSION
Israel has no monopoly on this kind of pig headed behavior. In 1988, when the US shot down an Iranian passenger jet killing 290, including 66 children, George H.W. Bush said: “I will never apologize for the United States — I don’t care what the facts are… I’m not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.”
But Zionists are brainwashed to think the world is against them for no reason. That is not true. Zionist Jews are an important instrument, along with Freemasonry, in the establishment of a satanic New World Order by the Illuminati Jewish banking cartel based in London. Hitler was put into power by this cartel in order to destroy Germany.
The only way Zionist Jews can rehabilitate themselves and rejoin the human race is to renounce this role.
