You are a traitor and disgrace to America. Go to the ME where you belong

I stick up for dead American sailors and that makes me a traitor??

You Israel 1st juden are really something. ..... ..

You are just pretending to stick up for them. You are a traitor and you know it. You're the Muslim who wants Sharia law in the US, not .me.

He's a traitor to common sense, that's for sure.

Typical juden deflection and personal attack when someone shines a bright light on zionist Israel's criminal acts. ......

The Liberty was in International Waters and was ordered to steam to that location.

And it was identical to Egyptian naval vessels having come from the same plans

 

[Phoenall]

Flying at 600MPH which is the Egyptian navy vessel and which is the US spy ship ?

Quite simple Poindexter.

The USS Liberty was flying a large American flag.

The Egyptian ships where flying their flag. ......

The US do not supply extremely large flags for their vessels, and the muslims are known to fly false flags all the time. By the way the large US flag was not being flown it was draped over the superstructure.

Naval flags at sea are the #8 flag which is 5' X 9.5'. Hard to see from a fighter jet.


Flag Sizes

And only a false flag operation would drape a 20' x 40' flag over the superstructure

MORE RACIST LIES

 

[Sunni Man]

The juden aren't a race. .....

Israel, so called only friend in the ME cares only for herself and killed Americans to conceal her pre-emptive strike on the Arabs...

To this day, America is reeling from terrorist attacks on our shores because of the AIPAC pressure to support this fascist state that cares not about America as it continues to ignite fires in the ME to keep her stolen lands...

Richard Brooks still remembers when the alert came.

With klaxons sounding and people yelling, the tannoy system warned everyone "Standby to receive torpedo hit".

"I thought I’ll never get out of this mess alive. Weird things were running through your minds, because I’d chalked myself off."

He felt the torpedoes hit and the ship pitch to one side but realised he was still alive.

And then the priority became survival. As chief engineer, he could tell the engines were still working. “My machinery was still intact and I was still making headway. I yelled through the voice tube ‘Give me all the steam pressure you’ve got, let’s get the hell out of this area’".

Eventually his ship, The USS Liberty made its way to safer waters and managed to take stock of the sustained attack. Thirty-four were lying dead, more than 171 were injured.

The victims of the day Israel attacked America.

The Liberty had been sitting in international waters off the Sinai Peninsula. A spy ship, it had been gathering information as the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War raged on land.

'Mistaken identity'

During the course of the day, the ship had been buzzed by Israeli aircraft. But flying the American flag, there was no cause for panic, no need for alarm.

“People were sunbathing, enjoying the June sunshine,” said Brooks, who was more concerned with keeping the engines running. The demands of the job perhaps saved his life.

Al Jazeera investigates the truth behind the attack on USS Liberty
Israel insisted it was a case of mistaken identity. It alleged that pilots were exhausted having fought so hard over the previous days. The US naval vessel was thought to be an Egyptian warship.

And that’s why it was attacked with rockets and cannons and missiles and torpedoes.

But Brooks doesn’t buy the Israeli apology. Standing next to the graves of his shipmates in Arlington National Cemetery he tells me “It wasn’t a tragic accident, It was a deliberate attack. They knew who we were. They tried to sink us. They wanted us out to either bring the Americans into the war by blaming the Arabs or we picked up some information about their war plans”.

Your only interest in this unfortunate incident is that you can use it every 3 months to RACIALLY attack the Jews. If it had been the arab muslims that fired on the vessel you would be demanding it be forgotten about as it happened nearly half a century ago.

How about 9/11 will you bring that up as often as you bring up this incident ? Or how about Fort Hood ?

There will be no response. There never is. Could you imagine the response of this Pro Palestinian Kool Aid Drinker if the Israelis were beheading people, especially Americans or setting them on fire??

Thread closed. There have been multiple threads over the US Liberty (7), we don't need another one. It's also not part of the IP conflict.
