Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Albert Doyle]

So basically you're saying Johnson loved everything Israel stood for. I agree.

When a President turns back fighter planes which were responding to a distress call from an American ship for fear of embarrassing the aggressor, namely Israel, then I say that Lyndon Johnson's main loyalty was to Israel. America came in second. When the chips were down during the USS Liberty tragedy Johnson chose to protect Israel not the US. Unequivocal proof as to where his true loyalty resided.

Sure, but don't you see that those actions could still be done in obedience to the will of the Sponsors as their facilitator? That serving Israel that way would serve the interests of the Sponsors and not necessarily be due to Johnson's personal zionist tendencies or putting Israel above America?
