Chapter 53 Devil’s invention (1) Visit of Dr. Girgo (3/4)


 At that moment, the door of Shy-Rock’s office was opened and an elderly man came out. It was a familiar face somewhere on TV or in the newspaper. But Dr. Girgo couldn't immediately remember the name of the guest.

 

"Thank you very much for your visit. How about the talks with my father?"

 

The man tried to answer Anat's inquiery. He, however, swallowed his words when he noticed that the young man on the sofa was staring at him.

Nobody thought that the war would leave a deep scar in the hearts of Americans in the future. The Unite...

The story was spread the image of mighty Israel against the Arabs. For the Yankees, who were Islamophobia, the story was like a thrilling western movie in which cavalry repels Native American.   Many Jews in the United States offered donations after hearing his story.

Nobody in the United States didn’t want to know how Israel could win overwhelmingly in the Six Day War and how the Israeli Air Force performed a key role. A rumor spread rapidly among the diplomatic corps in Washington, lawmakers, and Jews living in the United States that the newly assigned military attaché played the major role in that war.   The Ambassador had received many requests to share the true story from new military attaché. He decided to make the guy a "walking billboard".
