The Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty
"Under Attack by Unknown Forces"
Would the US allow its citizens to be attacked and killed by a foreign power and then cover up the facts?
It would - and it has.
On June 8th, 1967, the Israeli military attacked and attempted to sink
the USS Liberty as she sailed under a US flag in international waters.
Thirty-four US servicemen were killed and 171 injured by a
well-coordinated, multi-wave assault which included the use of napalm.
The Israeli military called the attack a "tragic mistake" and
then-President Lyndon Johnson agreed it was nothing more. Sailors who
were aboard the ship were warned not to disclose the facts of what
happened that day under penalty of court martial - or worse.
Compliments of BrasscheckTV!
