Things Americans don't hear about Israel

Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel by David Ben-Gurion. Israel needed "the greatest Jew alive" to create legitimacy for the illegitimate state. Einstein declined.
And while some of the reasons Einstein is said to have provided were his age and his expertise, Einstein was never an ardent Zionist and he wanted a "friendly and fruitful coexistence between the Jews and Arabs". That's the part Americans never hear.
Inside America, radicalised young Americans are recruited who then travel overseas to enlist and fight in a war made of religious extremism. One can mistake the above statement for how ISIS recruits young Americans to travel to some Middle Eastern country and fight alongside their fellow coreligionist soldiers.
I am actually describing the tens of thousands of American Jews who are radicalised and recruited out of Zionist summer camps that are held across various American cities.
The thousands of American Jews that join the Israeli army and kill innocent Palestinian children are actually direct participants in this genocide in the name of some Zionism-driven nonsense about a promised land for the chosen ones, which is a code word for Jewish terrorists.
In 1967, Israel deliberately attacked an American spy ship called USS Liberty killing 34 American sailors. I once mentioned this fact in a class during my graduate studies. It shocked me that none of the students or the professor knew about it.
The best information available about it says that Israel had made a mistake and it was accepted by the US government at the time as a mistake.
However, those on the ship didn't think this was some mistake. Israel even blocked the communication transmission the ship was trying to make for help.
Eventually it succeeded in contacting US carrier Saratoga, which dispatched 12 fighter jets and 4 tanker planes to help the Liberty. Robert McNamara, US Defense Secretary at the time, recalled the dispatch. Nobody to this day has been able to know why.
Israel is the only country in the Middle Eastern region that has nuclear weapons. When Israel was making these nukes, the fact of this programme was leaked by one Mordechai Vanunu. For that whistleblowing, Israel imprisoned him for 18 years.
Jonathan Pollard was an American spy who sold NSA's secret intelligence to Israel in return for money and other benefits. Pollard was apprehended, tried in court and imprisoned. Israel for years had been pushing for his release.
Pollard hurt the American security and espionage work by sharing "sources and methods" of the intelligence collection. While that American traitor was in prison, Israel gave him Israeli citizenship. So much for the USA and Israel being fast friends. Pollard now lives in Jerusalem and advocates that Gaza's Muslims should relocate to Ireland.
Well, I just spent days driving through the entire states of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. There's so much unused and vast land that one gets tired of just seeing it all.
Bring the damn Jews here and give them American citizenship instead of sending the real owners of that land to Ireland. That will prevent many Americans from traveling to indulge in religious terrorism after being radicalised in Zionist camps. It's a win-win.
Lastly, Michael Jackson wrote a beautiful song, which was in support of Palestine and indirectly critical of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people. Sony was forced not to allow the song to become a reality. That song never made it. Pretty much remains an unknown song of Michael Jackson.
There are two common patterns to Israeli crimes when one observes some of these facts I've highlighted above: justifying a lie and hiding the truth. Bringing Einstein on board was justifying the lie that Israel was a legitimate state.
Vanunu's imprisonment was sending a message to others that if you dared expose the truth, you'll be made an example out of. Michael Jackson's song, Liberty episode and the Pollard affair are unknown because those are about hiding the truth. And that's the essence of that Jewish state: a lie.
