If Israeli military intelligence has a history of planting bombs in Egyptian, American, and British civilian locations and then attempting to blame the attacks on groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian communists, “unspecified malcontents,” or “local nationalists” in order to create enough instability to influence British policy in Egypt, doesn’t that raise questions about whether the Israeli government is trustworthy? Could this have been a repeated tactic, as some people argue was the case with the USS Liberty incident as well? In other words, does the Israeli military use covert operations and other underhanded tactics to draw larger powers into its regional conflicts?
