Ali Ataie – USS Liberty When Israel attacked an American Ship in 1967 on the High Seas

In the midst of the war on June

8, 1967,

Israel attacked the USS Liberty, an unarmed American

naval ship in international waters flying the American

flag.

It was a coordinated attack from the air

and sea. The Liberty was identified by Israeli

pilots as being American. There is no doubt

about this. This was not mistaken identity. There

are recordings.

Despite clearly identifying the ship as American by

reading out the ship's whole number and seeing

the American flag, Israeli pilots fired at the

ship from above from above,

and Israeli missile boats fired torpedoes from below.

34 American sailors were killed, another 174 injured.

The American government tried to cover this up.

They tried to hide this event from the

press and the American public. Why their greatest

ally in the Middle East intentionally

and callously attacked them? The most likely reason

is that the USS Liberty

was a spy ship.

And as a spy ship, it was listening

in on Israel's war plans.

Israel didn't like that, so they tried to

massacre everyone on the ship.
