Thomas Massie Slams Israel For 1967 Strike On USS Liberty That Claimed 34 Lives​

Rubbish. Nobody claimed it was an 'accident', since the US deliberately failed to notify Israel they were moving the ship into a war zone. Even then the pilots held off on sinking it. the fact is it was our own failure to communicate.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

So Japan, Italy, Germany and Iran have not compensated us or any families?

Unlike Israel?

They really didn't owe anybody anything for our own screwup, but paid anyway.

they were occupied nation after we won the declared war. Are you saying we should have occupied Israel?

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Never mind the fact that Israeli planes identified the Liberty as being a US ship, using not only that big ass American flag waving above her. But also the identifying markings on the ship. And still sent fighter jets to attack.

lol flags mean nothing when your terrorist heroes had been using false flags for decades on ships they launched attacks from and moved around in. That's what having Intel contact your allies are for.

You’re blaming America?

When have we occupied Iran?

And how is taxpayers rebuilding those nations compensation for the loss to families? It’s not

You seem to have a lot of excuses for countries that have done massive amounts of horror and damage to the United States compared to Israel

So there is something else pushing your narrative then just damage done.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

whew is 5 million lives
Iran killed those Marines

They just like pulling endless streams of bullshit out of their asses. I guess some Jew made them look stupid in a Spelling Bee or something when they were kids.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

You’re blaming America?

I'm blaming the officers commanding the ship. Keep playing Board Dumbass; you're doing a great job.

I guess you have to lie to be an Israeli apologist

Well we beat Iran 34 times in the past 2 months… did they “unconditionally surrender” ? What’s the hold up?

The Israeli pilots and sailor sneak attacking a clearly marked US ship had the obligation to call it in and make sure it wasn’t a YS vessel

It was a spy ship, nothing 'clearly marked' on it, moron, it looked like hundreds of other tankers floating around, including one tracked into Egyptian ports from Italy known to be carrying Palestinian supplies., moron. Like I said, flying false flags is what terrorists do, all the time, kind of like you peddling whatever your told to by Xi's dis-info agents while pretending to be American.

No, not yet.

Trumps showing far to much restraining, I agree

Stop lying

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Stop lying

You first, moron.

Oh, you can't. Never mind.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

No, not yet.

Time is on his side, not theirs. He has no reason to pander to the bedwetters and Mullah fans.

Liar

Ship was in international waters and clearly marked as a US vessel

Agree to a certain extent. The Iranian terrorist are banking on their long term trusted allies in the demafasict party getting power again and bailing them out

This is why you see their pals like citygator faking outrage over gas and inflation being lower then. Joey Xiden gave the country

lol it wasn't marked as anything, puppet boi. It was a friggin SPY SHIP, tard; it looked like one of hundred of other tankers of the same model floating around the Med. Flags mean nothing to your terrorists buddies nobody in war with them would care what they were flying.

Nothing 'American' about it. It's a common tanker ship in the regions dipshit..

The conspiracy crap is just juvenile speculation, probably fueled by a lot of booze and antisemitism by drunken tards..



Was the Liberty Ship a Common Freighter Design?
The Liberty ship was not a “common” freighter design in the sense of being a standard, widely used type in peacetime, but it was an unprecedentedly common wartime freighter design during World War II.

Developed under the U.S. Maritime Commission’s Emergency Shipbuilding Program, the Liberty ship (EC2‑S‑C1) was a mass‑produced cargo vessel designed for rapid, low‑cost construction to meet urgent wartime shipping needs Wikipedia+1. It was based on a British Ocean‑class freighter design but adapted for American shipyards, using welded mild steel, triple‑expansion steam engines, and a modular “250,000‑part” construction method that allowed many components to be pre‑fabricated and assembled in about 70 days American Merchant Marine at War+1.

Between 1941 and 1945, 18 American shipyards built 2,710–2,751 Liberty ships, an average of about three ships every two days — the largest number of any single ship design in history Wikipedia+1. This scale made them the most common type of freighter in the U.S. Navy and Merchant Marine during WWII, far outnumbering other wartime cargo types.

While not a peacetime “common” design, the Liberty ship’s standardization, simplicity, and speed of production made it the dominant freighter type for Allied supply lines. It was later superseded by the Victory ship, which was larger, faster, and more modern, but still shared similar design principles Wikipedia+1.

In short:

• Not common in peacetime — it was a wartime emergency design.
• Extremely common in WWII — the most produced and widely used freighter type of the war.
• Highly standardized — mass‑production techniques made it the backbone of Allied logistics.

So, while you wouldn’t find a Liberty ship as a typical commercial freighter today, it was the most common freighter design of its era due to its unmatched wartime production volume and adaptability.
