In the time it takes to walk one mile. Israel killed 25 Liberty Crewmen and Could Have Stopped It If They Wanted to, They did not. It was STILL an “accident”.

Many authorities state that the average healthy human being walks a normal pace at about 3 miles an hour.  Thus walking a mile lasts give or take 20 minutes.  It’s not totally exact but close enough.

James Scott’s brilliant book  The Attack on the Liberty, The Untold Story of Israel’s Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship definitively demonstrates that that unless you’re gullible enough to blindly accept the US Gov’t/State of Israel/Ahron the Clown’s versions that the attack ‘cannot’ be deliberate. that so much was ignored and misrepresented and falsified about this cover up.  He proves that at least one IDF pilot(s) knew as well as their radio control officer in Israel  at a minimum that the ship they were attacking in international waters  was  an American ship or at a basic minimum suspected it.

Taped conversations and time lines prove that this was 20 minutes before the 3 Israeli MTB boats arrived and torpedoed the USS Liberty once which killed 25 of the 34 crewmen.

20 minutes and the “accident” continued. This ‘official’ friendly fire attack combining air and sea forces lasted one hour.

Let’s go back  and remember that official story lines” of the USS Liberty apologists and Israel Firsters.

1)  They justified the attack because it was reported by radio earlier they claimed that IDF forces near the shore at El Arish were being shelled from the sea.  (No such event ever happened nor did the Israeli IDF apologists ever explain how this could have happened or where such report originated).

2)  The USS Liberty was an unarmed ship. It has no such visible armaments capable of such an action.  Naval firepower for shelling the shore are easily seen and recognized even for IDF which became “incompetent ” for this event in the Six Day War.   Nor did the El Quisir the IDF claimed was the ship they thought was the ship they attacked have such armaments… (1/3 the size of USS Liberty with Arabic markings and was a a 1920′s rusted tramp steamer/horse carrier nor did it ever leave port during the Six Day way).

This conversation about the possibility of the ship being American is ignored and the torpedo boats continued on. No call for re-verification from Israel.   No halt to determine if the ship was not what they claimed  or thought.  America was a loyal ally, didn’t caution and simple decency/concern warrant a second look? also since the ship was in international waters and both ships were unarmed? Where was the immediate threat?

“Accident”…. Hardly.

Also the Israel torpedo boats were also in constant radio contact as well with their controllers as were the pilots.

Remarkable though is that Capt. McConagle wounded and bleeding under air attack with 821 rockets and missiles eventually hitting his ship, through  smoke and fire from napalm can spot the approaching torpedo boats from a mile a away with binoculars and see 3′ x 5′ Star of David naval ensign on the boat yet the three motor boats and navy crew cannot see the newly painted 8 ft. Western hull numbers?, the flag.  Not were any Arabic markings either  who also had the time to consult a ship board copy of  “Jane’s Fighting Ships” so they claim. Such numbers can be seen from miles away on a clear and sunny day which it was on June 8, 1967

You’re about at the end of the block on your mile long walk about now. Still a ways to go and when you get there 24 crewmen attached in the security spaces of the USS Liberty will be instantly killed and the MTB will then still circle the ship machine gunning life rafts so much that the ship’s  inner and outer decks were covered with hundreds and hundreds of spent bullets.

Capt. McGonagle examines Israeli bullet, 34 crewmen were killed and no one was ever held accountable.

Some accident. And the cover up of this deliberate attack is still on going and fabricated by both nations at the Altar of the US Israel ‘special relationship”.

The book is a reminder and should read about the dangers of foreign entanglements and allowing your allies to commit wanton murder with impunity.

And Congress still refuses to allow the USS Liberty survivors to tell their story even 40+ years later. Read the book.  Well worth the time.
