This Day in History; Israel’s 1967 Attack on the USS Liberty
Editorial By
The Setting // JUNE 1967
Not content with the territory that it had already stolen back in 1947, Israel, ever playing the role of victim, initiated what became known as The Six Day War on June 5, 1967. The one-sided fight pitted US-armed Israel against the Arab states of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. One day after initiating the conflict — hoping to bring the US into the war so that the Arab states could be annihilated in one fell swoop — Israeli jets and torpedo boats deliberately attacked the USS Liberty. The helpless communications ship was on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea, near Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula..The sustained daytime attack, which took place as the US flag flew visibly, killed 34 Americans, wounded 170, and badly damaged the vessel. Many of the dead and wounded lost their lives due to fighter jets firing upon their life boats. The Israelis finally called off the slaughter when they thought that help may have been on the way (a Russian vessel was also in the area). Our noble allies then claimed that the assault on the USS Liberty was a case of “mistaken identity.” Of course, the government of Zion’s wholly owned US President, the utterly contemptible Lyndon Baines Johnson, with the complicity of Offense Secretary Robert McNamara and Admiral John McCain Sr. (father of Senator McCain the Insane), accepted Zion’s ridiculous claim and closed the book. And Congress didn’t dare to investigate the matter either..But the detailed accounts of this dastardly war crime, given by American survivors, clearly contradict the Zionist lie. Their testimonies haven’t wavered to this day. The object of the attack was to sink the Liberty, machine-gun any survivors, blame Egypt, and thus draw the US into a war on Israel’s side. In spite of the US government’s complicit coverup after the fact, more than a few high-powered men rejected the “mistaken identity” narrative.. Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-IA):. “From what I have read I can’t tolerate for one minute that this attack was an accident.”.Dean Rusk, U.S. Secretary of State at the time of the incident:.“I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn’t believe them then, and I don’t believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.“.Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Ronald Reagan, offers another possible motive:. “I have never believed that the attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken identity. That is ridiculous. I have flown over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, thousands of hours, searching for ships and identifying all types of ships at sea. The Liberty was the ugliest, strangest looking ship in the U.S. Navy. As a communications intelligence ship, it was sprouting every kind of antenna. It looked like a lobster with all those projections moving every which way. Israel knew perfectly well that the ship was American. After all, the Liberty’s American flag and markings were in full view in perfect visibility for the Israeli aircraft that overflew the ship eight times over a period of nearly eight hours prior to the attack..I am confident that Israel knew the Liberty could intercept radio messages from all parties and potential parties to the ongoing war, then in its fourth day, and that Israel was preparing to seize the Golan Heights from Syria despite President Johnson’s known opposition to such a move. I think they realized that if we learned in advance of their plan, there would be a tremendous amount of negotiating between Tel Aviv and Washington. And I believe Moshe Dayan concluded that he could prevent Washington from becoming aware of what Israel was up to by destroying the primary source of acquiring that information — the USS Liberty. The result was a wanton sneak attack that left 34 American sailors dead and 171 seriously injured. What is so chilling and cold-blooded, of course, is that they could kill as many Americans as they did in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry.” (emphasis added)
Boobus Americanus 2: Interesting. It’s important to know history. ***St. Sugar: You don’t know jack-ssh!t about hisstory, Boobusss!
Editor: And when it comes to the USS Liberty, he, like everyone else, doesn’t even know the Fake History of the event. It’s as if it never happened.
