On This Day (June 8) In 1967 Israel Attacked U.S.S. Liberty

[LA RAM FAN]

The Isarel apo

Admiral Thomas Moorer was a Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was a Naval aviator who was shot down and wounded during WWII over the Pacific Ocean.

More relevant than ever because it is in Israel's to get other countries to do its fighting for them. In this case the plan was to blame the sinking of the USS Liberty on Egypt, with whom Israel was at war, and force the US into attacking Egypt. USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney now says "Here We Go Again, No More Wars for Israel." Just like that Marine did in the US Senate.

"On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked our proud naval ship — the USS Liberty — killing 34 American servicemen and wounding 172. Those men were then betrayed and left to die by our own government.

U.S. military rescue aircraft were recalled — not once, but twice — through direct intervention by the Johnson administration. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s cancellation of the Navy’s attempt to rescue the Liberty, which I confirmed from the commanders of the aircraft carriers America and Saratoga, was the most disgraceful act I witnessed in my entire military career....

A 1967 investigation by the Navy, upon which all other reports are based, has now been fully discredited as a cover-up by its senior attorney. Capt. Ward Boston, in a sworn affidavit, recently revealed that the court was ordered by the White House to cover up the incident and find that Israel’s attack was “a case of mistaken identity.”

Some distinguished colleagues and I formed an independent commission to investigate the attack on the USS Liberty. After an exhaustive review of previous reports, naval and other military records, including eyewitness testimony from survivors, we recently presented our findings on Capitol Hill. They include:

• Israeli reconnaissance aircraft closely studied the Liberty during an eight-hour period prior to the attack, one flying within 200 feet of the ship. Weather reports confirm the day was clear with unlimited visibility. The Liberty was a clearly marked American ship in international waters, flying an American flag and carrying large U.S. Navy hull letters and numbers on its bow.
• Despite claims by Israeli intelligence that they confused the Liberty with a small Egyptian transport, the Liberty was conspicuously different from any vessel in the Egyptian navy. It was the most sophisticated intelligence ship in the world in 1967. With its massive radio antennae, including a large satellite dish, it looked like a large lobster and was one of the most easily identifiable ships afloat.
• Israel attempted to prevent the Liberty’s radio operators from sending a call for help by jamming American emergency radio channels.
• Israeli torpedo boats machine-gunned lifeboats at close range that had been lowered to rescue the most-seriously wounded. As a result, our commission concluded that:
• There is compelling evidence that Israel’s attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew.
• In attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed acts of murder against U.S. servicemen and an act of war against the United States...."

Dean Rusk, US Secretary of State:

“I just don’t believe that it was an accident or trigger happy local commanders, there was just too much of a sustained effort to disable and sink the Liberty.” Testimonials USS Liberty

USS Liberty Survivor Phil Tourney Hits Trump Iran Attack: "Here We Go Again, No More Wars for Israel"

the Israel apologists will of course say this needs to be in the conspiracy theory forum and the mods are servants to Israel as proof how they always leave russia collusion conspiracy theory threads here in the politics section yet put documented cases of vote fraud from the 2016 election there so just a matter of time sometime today before they move it there of course.cant have the truth posted by very credible people as your source is.

LBJ was the one who ordered the hit. He was on the phone during the entire attack.

The Liberty was supposed to go down in 10 minutes. The only reason it did not was because the rank and file IDF intentionally missed. 5 of 6 torpedoes fired at Liberty missed.

That's what the transcript documents.


The pilot says "but sir, I can see the flag, it is an American ship"

and IDF responds "you have your orders, hit it"



and that pilot likely concluded they were attacking the wrong ship and intentionally missed.... and that he sure as heck did not sign up with IDF to attack and murder Americans.

I went to a gathering of USS Liberty vets and family and friends in San Diego in the mid to late 1990s. Nobody there was confused at all. The attack lasted more than an hour.

This is the most complete version of it, where Zionist Fascism really wanted to take America in 1968....

AIPAC has basically been around since the early 50s. They've been bribing followed by owning American politicians for a very long time. LBJ was a pretty evil character and obviously a Zionist or pro-Zionist:

"The purpose of this study is to identify the origins of the pro-Israeli affections of the prominent American politician Lyndon Baines Johnson (the President of the United States in 1963-1968) in the initial period of his political career before winning the Senate elections in 1948. The study resulted in conclusion that preferences of Lyndon Johnson towards Israel were influenced by a number of factors. First of all, this was the influence of the views that had developed in the family of an American politician. His grandfather and aunt were active members of the Christodelphian community, in which the protection of the Jews as God’s chosen people was one of the principles of life."

One of Lyndon Johnson's grandmothers was Jewish. He was literally a Jew.

 

[georgephillip]

One of Lyndon Johnson's grandmothers was Jewish. He was literally a Jew.

Google AI agrees:

"Yes, evidence suggests Lyndon B. Johnson had Jewish ancestry on his maternal side.

"According to research cited by The Times of Israel, LBJ's maternal great-grandparents (John S. Huffman and Mary Elizabeth Perrin) were Jewish, and his mother, Rebekah Baines, had a line of Jewish mothers."

If the motive behind Israel's deliberate attack on Liberty was to sink the ship with no survivors and blame Egypt, it's worth knowing which side of the Atlantic Ocean that plan was hatched on?

"His maternal family, the Huffmans, migrated from Germany."

I don't know. Tell us, which side?

That answer requires a full public congressional investigation into the attack on Liberty before all eyewitnesses die of old age.

I'm guessing DC.

What about you?

If Trump is willing to call Massie and MTG "traitors" then he's willing to call the survivors of the USS Liberty "traitors" as well. NEVER, EVER criticize Is-A-Real-Lie and never call the Zios out on their multitude terrorist attacks over the years. The Neocons will ALWAYS defend their actions no matter what.

I really hated what Trump did to Massie. He tried so hard to drive one of the few remaining good Republicans out of the party for not playing ball with him. I have a lot of respect for Thomas Massie. He is one of the good ones.

Very true.

And I find it quite honorable that he simply sought justice for victims of sexual battery and related crimes. How that makes him a "traitor" is anyone's guess.

I completely agree Trump will label anyone opposing his foreign policy a traitor; however, I can also see how differently Israel's attack on Liberty would have been if the Internet had been around in 1967.

In the unlikely event millions of eligible US voters learn about Liberty for the first time in the run-up to the 2026 mid-terms (or 2028 general election ) and the Zionist and Neocons attempt to blame American eyewitnesses, younger voters, especially those in the military, might decide they should redefine "patriotism"?
