Has Israel ever done anything without the US's blessing?
Just wondering.
> The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.
You'd hope that was done without the US's blessing...

Although, judging from the consequences (none) you could say that even that had the US's blessings.
Well, the fighter jets and weapons system platform (a pair of Mark-84 unguided bombs fitted to each aircraft) they used in those airstrikes were made by aerospace companies in the United States (General Dynamics and McDonnel Douglas), so I think American companies did have a role to play, however indirectly.
There's no denying Israel wouldn't exist today (at least not the form it presently exists) if not for the timely and generous support and assistance (militarily, monetarily and in spirit) from the United States of America -- just an observation!
