Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky wrote a book in 1990 titled By Way of Deception. In it, he acts as a whistleblower saying the Mossad knew when the attack was going to happen, but did not inform the Americans. How likely is it that they deliberately carried out the bombings themselves, or Islamic Jihad may have been a proxy for Israeli intelligence?
>I've seen threads on the Lavon Affair, and the USS Liberty, but not this. Also add 9/11 to that list
Justin Martin
Yes.

They let it happen because they wanted the US to leave so they could have total control over Lebanon. Mission accomplished

>They let it happen because they wanted the US to leave so they could have total control over Lebanon. Mission accomplished makes a lot of sense actually
Robert Cruz
I had completely forgotten the Lavon Affair, thanks OP.
Parker Thomas
this was definitely Israel there is no way a small group of goat herders had the know how to do such a spectacularly effective attack
the fact the US didn't do shit about it is even more proof
I was in Beirut when the shit hit the fan. I was deployed about a week after the bombings happened. when I saw the destruction, I turned to my buddy and said "It's time for us to get to work for uncle sam"

>"It's time for us to get to work for uncle sam" Well?
