The hijacking was in response to a series of Israeli hijackings of Palestinian ships.

Not that it would, in any way, lessen the guilt of this sorry terrorist one iota if it WERE true -- but I don't suppose you could provide a link to a legitimate news or history source supporting this allegation?

I didn't think so.

The Achille Lauro incident was a terrorist demand for the release of 50 Palestinian criminals. The killing of an American Jew was nothing less than a hate crime, which you are on this thread defending.

Excuse me while I go puke.

David Ray basically covered the substance of my response. But I would add one more thing. If Israelis had been hijacking Palestinian ships or those of other Arabs, it wouldn't force Abu Abbas to hijack anything much less an Italian ship. To use the Israeli hijackings, if they even happened, as an excuse of taking over the Achille Lauro is like the US using one of the many incidents with North Korea as an excuse to invade Poland.
