USS Liberty Attack
β£The U.S.S. Liberty...OUR ship. 34 of our servicemen killed, and 171 injured in an unprovoked attack by Israel. It was thought that if it were sunk that it could be blamed upon Egypt, which was the point of the exercise, furnishing an excuse for war between the US and Egypt. However, thanks to one brave man who crawled out on the deck to repair communications, it became too risky for Israel to finish our servicemen off entirely, and the Liberty did not sink, and so there were survivors and witnesses. It is abundantly clear that the United States government itself was involved. When our forces started to go to protect the Liberty when it was attacked, President Johnson ordered them to turn back TWICE.
