John Helmer Reports: Israel Has Turned America Into a War Criminal – Paul Craig Roberts

 The War Criminal Charlotte’s crew’s first torpedo destroyed the ship’s  propeller and left the frigate immobile. The Charlotte’s second torpedo hit 90 minutes latter after consultation between the Charlotte, US Navy Command, and the Pentagon.  In those 90 minutes the Dena’s captain had assembled the Iranian crew on the aft deck to prepare for evacuation or  surrender of the ship.

According to the accustomed laws of naval warfare, if the crew of the damaged ship is assembled to abandon ship, the attacking ship must cease its attack.  But the Charlotte received orders to ignore laws of naval warfare and to renew attack on the Iranian frigate in order to give Trump a a “victory” to crow about. 

The Charlotte’s second torpedo was unlawful as it was fired to kill life on a disabled ship whose crew was assembled for surrender. The second torpedo hit aft where the crew was assembled, killing 104 assembled for surrender. This war crime reminds of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 when the Israeli attack on an American ship resulted in 205 dead and wounded Americans.  Washington covered up the attack to protect Israel.
