Israel is the only country in the Mid East that America can trust in the 21st century. The problem was that fat assed Pentagon admirals didn't learn from the 1968 capture of the USS Pueblo and ordered the Liberty into a dangerous arena. Maybe somebody needs to find out what idiot ordered the Liberty into a combat zone and whether the CIA was responsible.Lessons of the USS Liberty attack:
1. Don't trust the goddamn Israelis
2. Don't trust the goddamn US government
3. Goddamn traitors in the US will put the interest of Israel over the interest of the US
Yeah, whats a few dead sailors between "friends"?It seems like every time you turn around in any discussion about Israel you see people whining about the Israeli attack on the intelligence gathering ship U.S.S.Liberty during the Six Day War?
USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia
The attack was first by some IDF fighters that killed 9 aboard then when IDF torpedo boats closed on the ship one of them launched a torpedo which hit Liberty squarely and killed 25 more.
Israel apologized for the attack and paid compensation to the U.S. for the dead and injured as well as damage to the ship.
Mistakes happen in war zones. You don't hear the British whining on and on about the accidental air strikes by the U.S. during Desert Storm that killed dozens of British soldiers.
If you count disobeying a direct order we received every morning at quarters while in Malta dry docks not to discuss the attack with anyone, you can include virtually every USS Liberty crewman in that list.ok----repost along with the names of the Navy
witnesses who violated military law
No one has every presented any verifiable evidence that we were transmitting anything to "the Arabs."I'm old enough to remember when Israel deliberately attacked our clearly marked USS Liberty and have followed old and recently declassified reports on the betrayal ever since and I've never heard the outrageous claim that:
If the Liberty was transmitting Israeli troop movements to the Arabs, why did IDF continue to kill crew members and strafe life rafts after the ship was unable to transmit anything?
If the ship was really revealing Israeli information to the Arabs, why did one ethical Israeli pilot refuse to participate in the criminal massacre?
We probably wouldn't have any enemies in the ME today if we treated everyone there evenhandedly.LOL
we had no enemies in the M.E. before Israel.....

Nobody seems to mind that another U.S. spy ship, the USS Pueblo, was captured by North Korea in 1968 and is held as a trophy by N.K. Why not get the freaking ship back?
To answer your last question first. Of course we would. By the same token, would you accept that Israel committed War Crimes as detailed in our War Crimes Report if the investigation the DoD is mandated under the DoD Law of War Program to perform is conducted?What makes you think they didn't?
And would you ever accept any conclusion that Israel was blameless?
Which troubles those of us who survived the attack on the USS Liberty because people lump us in with those who bring up the attack and continuing coverup of the attack for reasons other than promoting an agenda that results in a US government investigation of the attack.If you look, each and every time it is brought up it is by our resident anti-Semites. And they will drag that in whenever they get a chance.
You should know that eyewitness evidence is considered the Least reliable?Which troubles those of us who survived the attack on the USS Liberty because people lump us in with those who bring up the attack and continuing coverup of the attack for reasons other than promoting an agenda that results in a US government investigation of the attack.
People tend to ignore the fact that those who raise the issue of the attack and coverup of the attack on our ship to promote a nefarious agenda are using the blood of our fallen shipmates and the suffering of their families to achieve their goals.
It won't stop us from telling our story and advocating for a US government investigation of the attack and coverup. It is simply a reality we have learned to live with.
Looks to me, that yesterday wasn't a great day for you to post.Lyin' Loser Lyndon
The Israelis targeted the Liberty because it was a spy ship transmitting information about Israeli troop movements to the Arabs. LBJ felt the world situation and the Mideast would be better off if he limited Israel's overwhelming and embarrassing victory. Eisenhower had also betrayed them during the 1956 Suez War for the same ignorant reasons.
From both the US and Israeli sides.You should know that eyewitness evidence is considered the Least reliable?
