One of Israel's most scandalous actions was the attack on the U.S.S Liberty in 1967 that resulted in 37 U.S. servicemen losing their lives. The official line from a report commissioned by President Johnson at the time concluded that the attack was a case of "mistaken identity". However it has long been suspected that the report acted as a smokescreen to bury a more uncomfortable truth about the incident. That Israel knew who it was attacking and that the American government was afraid to pursue the incident any further. "If it was an accident, it was the best planned accident I've ever heard of" - USS Liberty survivor âWhy would our government put Israelâs interests ahead of our own?â Moorer asked from his wheelchair at the news conference. He was chief of naval operations at the time of the attack. Moorer, who has long held that the attack was a deliberate act, wants Congress to investigate. Israel claims the USS Liberty was mistaken for the out-of-service Egyptian horse carrier El Quseir - can you spot the difference? please log in to view this image El Quseir please log in to view this image U.S.S. Liberty According to a 1981 NSA report on the incident, the El Quseir "was approximately one-quarter of the Liberty's tonnage, about one-half its length, and offered a radically different silhouette." Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested. Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel. The pilot's protests also were heard by radio monitors in the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon. Then-U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter has confirmed this. Porter told his story to syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak and offered to submit to further questioning by authorities. Unfortunately, no one in the U.S. government has any interest in hearing these first-person accounts of Israeli treachery. -------- Israel attacked the USS Liberty using UNMARKED AIRCRAFT. This is the single fact which proves Israel knew exactly who they were attacking. Israel's story is that they thought USS Liberty was an Egyptian ship and therefore a legitimate target of war. Were that true, there would be no reason to attack a supposedly Egyptian ship with unmarked aircraft. The only possible reason to use unmarked aircraft to attack the ship is that Israel knew it was an American ship and intended to sink it, then to blame the attack on Egypt. Moorer, who as top legal council to the official investigation is in a position to know, agrees that Israel intended to sink the USS Liberty and blame Egypt for it, thus dragging the United States into a war on Israel's behalf. This seems to be a common trick of Israel. Starting with the Lavon affair, through the USS Liberty, to the fake radio transmitter that tricked Reagan into attacking Libya, to potentially 9-11 itself, Israel's game is to frame Arabs and set them up as targets for the United States. The official US investigation is discredited. And with it, every claim of innocence for Israel that relied on the official investigation as a source. The real question facing the American people is why the US Government seems more concerned with protecting Israel after they are caught playing these dirty tricks, rather than doing something to convince Israel not to kill any more Americans.
Alot of info to condense into short sentences. Israel attacks, with unmarked aircraft, US navy ship killing 37 servicemen. Claimed to be mistaken identity with other ship which bore absolutely no resemblance. Increasing thought supported by both side that the official "mistaken identity" excuse was a cover up. Why would America cover up the killing of its own navy by another nation and allow that nation off scot free?
**** the Jewish Lobby that rules the whole world. **** them. USA and their presidents need to suck up to Israel as they are economically dependent of the Jewish Lobby. Just take a look at a few months ago when Obama said that he thinks Israel and Palestine should go back to the 1967 borders. He got a stern telling from that ****er Netanyahu in the media and a lot I'm sure from the Jewish Lobby behind the scenes. Now USA want to veto the statehood bid. It's all one big joke.
Ah I see because I spoke the truth that many people can't handle , I've become a Muslim. Do us a favour and hang yourself
How do you know he is a Muslim? Anyway what would it matter, are their opinions lesser than your own? Bit of an islamophobe are you?
How do I know??? is it not obvious, all people that are passionate about these ridiculous things are muslims, they are hypocrites and to extreme to be listened to, as this young boy is probing
Any contribution to the thread Comas? are are you the typical person who knows nothing of the subject but still chooses sides and can do nothing more than ruin the thread he doesnt like through dragging it off-topic with insults?
I am passionate about the subject as it asks questions of the moral standards of he international community at large and offends what I percieve as fair and just in this world, yet I am no Muslim
Sometimes yes, I do know about this story and I do find it quite boring. However I do not take onboard peoples views if they are blinded by religion, its the same as trying to tell a city fan united are better, even though the facts are there they are to bitter to listen and accept the facts As you said some of you are not religious, therfore I will take on board your opinions
Staggering : The attack remains "the only maritime incident in U.S. history where U.S. military forces were killed that was never investigated by the U.S. Congress."
IS this why the USA did not land on the moon?? is this why roswell actually happened, is this why the usa attacked the WTC LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL bullshit all of it
