How would Mr. Lieberman feel with his dual citizenship, if this be true
- about the USS Liberty where this great ship was sunk and our men
killed and napalmed for 45 minutes - would this be covered up today?
Now Israel was to blame this on the Egyptians - had the truth been told
it would still have been a crime against humanity - a holocaust for the
men aboard this great ship which was in International Waters.....
So why do we forget the USS Liberty when we remember the Arizona or
would you call USS Liberty sunk under "friendly fire".
This was not work of domestic arabs and jews....this was move by zionist
nation.

USS LIBERTY
"Attack one American and you attack all Americans" was recently
proclaimed by President Clinton. More recently, an Assistant Secretary
for State proclaimed that the U. S. government always protects its
citizens. These are damn lies and meaningless words. These words were
not true in 1967 (when Israel deliberately attacked the USS LIBERTY,)
and unfortunately, and in spite of these beautiful words, they are not
even true today. Moreover, there is no such thing as justice.

(Israel claims they thought it was an Egyptian horse transport.)
(NOTE - ship in International Waters)
On that June day in 1967, the weather was beautiful... Clear and sunny,
visibility unlimited... the LIBERTY, an elaborate state-of-the art
intelligence gathering platform, was in international waters off the
Gaza strip and was flying the Stars and Stripes. Israeli reconnaissance
planes flew overhead for hours.
Pilots and ship's crew waved to each other. Then, inexplicably, unmarked
Israeli aircraft began attacking the ship.
The defenseless LIBERTY radioed for help. Two aircraft carriers in the
Med responded by launching fighter aircraft. Unbelievably, they were
recalled by the White House. RADM Geis, then commanding the carriers in
the Sixth Fleet, called Washington personally to confirm the order.
SecDef McNamara came on the line, then President Johnson.
Johnson indicated to Geis that the aircraft were to be returned, that
he would not have his allies embarrassed, and that he didn't care who
was killed or what was done to the ship. Geis, like any good sailor,
recalled the aircraft.
(If you have RealAudio, and click on the picture of CDR Dave Lewis at
the right, you will HEAR Dave tell about his conversation with Admiral
Geis.)
With no help forthcoming, the LIBERTY fell an easy victim to Israel's
motor torpedo boat attack. FIVE torpedoes were lobbed at the Liberty,
one hit amidships and instantly killed 25 sailors. A total of 34 died in
the attack.
President Johnson went on television and announced to the American
people that TEN sailors were killed in the "six minute accidental"
attack. Sailors were ordered not to discuss the incident with ANYONE
under threat of
court-martial. We waited for the investigation... and for the
explanations and the answers. Why did Israel attack the ship? Why did
the U. S. Government turn its back on the crew members?
The answers never came.
There has NEVER been a congressional investigation. No congressman has
the guts to even suggest such a thing. There has been a NAVY-controlled
white-washed investigation of the crew's actions during the attack, but
nothing else was covered. Even in this, evidence was changed, and
officers who knew the answers were not asked the right questions.
The attack has been a matter of controversy since 1967. Survivors and
many key government officials including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Moorer say the attack was no
accident.
*****
Two Israeli officers have come forward to admit that the attack was no
accident. Yet the Israeli government and its supporters insist it was a
"tragic case of misidentification" and charge that survivors and their
eyewitness supporters are lying.
************
(If you have RealAudio, click on Admiral Moorer's picture at the left
and hear what he has to say about the attack.)
The ship's crew is bitter. It is bitter because its own country turned
its back on them... it is bitter because someone killed 34 Americans and
got away with it...what's more, that its own government covered up the
truth and HELPED them get away with it!
"Ahhh," you say. "Anti-Semitism!" No. Many of the ship's crew are
Jewish, and we have many Jewish friends.
We are NOT anti-Semitic. We ARE anti-Israel. We know that Israel has
controlled the American congress for years... to the point where 34 dead
sailors can go un-investigated!
"A man who is good enough to shed his blood
for his country is good enough to be given a square
deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to,
and less than that no man shall have."
