50th Anniversary of Israel’s Infamous USS Liberty Attack

[IsaacNewton]

On June 8, during Israel’s preemptive Six-Day War, an act of aggression, not self-defense against regional Arab states, the IDF did the unthinkable.

It provocatively attacked its main ally, striking the USS Liberty intelligence gathering ship, in international waters about 25.5 nautical miles northwest of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in international waters.

The incident took 34 US lives, another 171 wounded, the vessel severely damaged, lucky to stay afloat.

It was deployed to monitor belligerents’ communications in response to Israeli aggression on Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq – not the other way around.
Israel knew the ship’s identity, its US flag clearly visible. Good weather conditions made it easy to spot.

Israeli warplanes circled overhead before attacking, at times low enough for US sailors to wave to its pilots. They waved back before opening fire with rockets and machine guns against the lightly armed vessel.

A second wave of planes used napalm, setting parts of the deck ablaze. Israeli attack boats struck the vessel with torpedoes, causing a 40-foot-wide hole in its hull, flooding lower compartments, causing the ship to list 10 degrees, a defenseless smoking hulk, lucky to avoid sinking.

Four other Israeli torpedoes missed their target. Its warplanes strafed the Liberty at close range.

The ship’s radio frequencies were jammed to prevent a distress call for help. When finally able to communicate, it was too late. The damage was done, the human toll testimony to Israeli viciousness.

When attack began, the Liberty was following its signal-intercept mission off Sinai’s coast in international waters at a speed of about five knots.

Israeli forces were ordered to fire on any unidentified vessels proceeding at over 20 knots – at the time, a speed only warships could attain.

The Liberty was clearly identified. Israeli claims otherwise were lies.

Remember The USS Liberty, attacked by Israel June 8th 1967

One can't think of Israeli bombs and artillery dropping on innocent civilians as Israel fires willie nillie on civilian areas. They appear to believe they have a right to kill and destroy as they wish. They certainly have the right to defend themselves against attacks and many of the attacks they've made were warranted. But there is a continuing thread through the actions of Israel and it's lazy view of limiting civilian and even in this case military lives of its allies.

Why don't you visit a Tel Aviv hospital the next time Hamas attacks.
You won't?
Of course you wont.

Hey Derpy, read my entire post. Or are you so lost in emotion right now you just need a safe space and a blanky? Give your memes a rest, you'll feel better.

Because Hamas initiated the attack.

Yes, it was Hamas who initiated the mass murder of Americans on the Liberty.

Hey, asshole, noone's buying it.

A bit out of context here, Loser?

On the contrary, not only is it mathmatically possible it is likely probable. Something from nothing is in the mathmatics. Of scientists anyway, I'm not sure what your witch doctor throwing fish bones will divine.

Yesterday I asked you for a list of physicists who say the universe is mathematically possible.
You responded with an ad hominem and ran away.

And now back to how you're going to visit Gaza and help out Hamas.

I'm not the list maker here, try one of the con derps here, I'm sure they'll ignore you as well but you'll feel better about it. Try research and reading Cubby. Stop expecting a handout.

But you go on being more insightful than everyone else on planet earth and I'll deal with reality.

Now about you visiting Gaza.

Sir Isaac Newton...spells SIN.
Hmmm...

 

[Roudy]

I can't say with certainty what happened there. I was 4 years old and living in America at the time. But even a judge that hears out a case is allowed to take his own life experience into account. People come onto this board with all kinds of preconceived notions. Some posters have said that Israelis hate Americans because it says in the Talmud that Jews must hate Goyim. How can you argue with that kind of ignorance? I have a ton of Israeli relatives and I have been there, and so I know that Israelis worship America--even a little too much so, in my opinion. So this is something that alot of posters hear just don't know about. From what my grandmother told me, it was the same way in the 1950's and 60's. That's why it's hard for me to believe, knowing what I know, that Israelis would deliberately kill Americans. Arabs yes, but not Americans.

The zionists in power don't even give a shit about the common run of the mill israeli.

And Arab Muslim leaders are some of the most caring, honest, people you'll find. I also have a used car and an oil rig for sale.

And, the Israeli Jew leaders are caring and honest? LOL

Compared to corrupt Arab Muslim leaders who are dictators, barbarians and thieves, Israeli leaders come out like saints, as do most American and Western leaders.

Israel Jew leaders are nothing like American and Western leaders. The Israeli leaders are murdering thieves.

Keep dreaming. Israel's leaders have all been respectable patriots who served people and their country well. Arab Muslim leaders have all been iron fisted crooked nutjob dictators who could care less for their people and country, and it gets worse from there. There are a few exceptions here and there.

You know it's true.

 

[Roudy]

Because Hamas initiated the attack.

Yes, it was Hamas who initiated the mass murder of Americans on the Liberty.

Hey, asshole, noone's buying it.

Hamas has killed far more Americans intentionally, than the Israelis did with the Liberty, accidently.

I think he's pro Palestinian because like the Palestinians and Starship Enterprise, he circles around Uranus lookin' for Clingons.

[Humanity]

I really don't get why this topic is so vehemently debated...

There are plenty of eye witness accounts, plenty of recordings of the actual event...

Deny it happened because it was Israel who did it? Would the same "accident" be denied if it were Iran?

 

[Linkiloo]

There is no debate, except among anti-semites fishing for something to hate Joos for. It was an accident.. End of.

That's different. Iran is enemy of the U.S. and calls it the "Great Satan." Israel and America were always close and/or allies. That is easy to see. Plus it happened during a time of war, and a very short, hard-fought, and desperate war fought on 3 fronts, at that. But then again you're the guy who said that no matter how much the Israel pays in reparations, it would never be enough.

Like I told your sock, survivors and eye witnesses don't count because they cannot say what the Israelis perceived the boat to be. How dumb can you be.

 

[CMike]

>>English transcripts of the released tapes indicate that Israel still spoke of hitting an Egyptian supply ship even after the attack had stopped.[94][95] After the attack, the rescue helicopters are heard relaying several urgent requests that the rescuers ask the first survivor pulled out of the water what his nationality is, and discussing whether the survivors from the attacked ship will speak Arabic.[96]<<

If they believed it was an Egyptian ship, why would they wonder what the nationality of the first survivor would be and if he spoke Arabic? LOL

Because at that point they weren't sure. They feared it would be a Russian ship would make things much worse.

It's not even a question anymore.

I posted the transcript and actual recordings of the Israeli pilots as receive by a NSA spy plane. I also posted the link directly to the NSA official website that confirms this.
