The Day Israel Attacked America - USS Liberty on June 8th, 1965
3 Nov 2014
Al Jazeera investigates the shocking truth behind
a deadly Israeli attack on a US naval vessel.
In 1967, at the height of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War,
the Israeli Air Force launched an unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty,
a US Navy spy ship that was monitoring the conflict
from the safety of international waters in the Mediterranean.
Israeli jet fighters hit the vessel with rockets, cannon fire and napalm,
before three Israeli torpedo boats moved in to launch
a second more devastating attack.
Though she did not sink, the Liberty was badly damaged.
Thirty-four US servicemen and civilian analysts were killed, another 171 were wounded.
Later Israel apologised for what it claimed to be a tragic case of mistaken identity.
It said that it had believed the ship to be hostile Egyptian naval vessel.
US President Lyndon Johnson was privately furious but publicly the White House
chose not to challenge the word of its closest Middle East ally
and accepted that the attack had been a catastrophic accident.
However, as this exclusive Al Jazeera investigation reveals,
fresh evidence throws new light on exactly what happened that fateful day
– and the remarkable cover up that followed.

The simple fact is that they admitted it. They had to after being caught red handed.
The evidence did not sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean and there were witnesses.
The Israeli government admitted to the June 8, 1967 attack by Israeli Defense Forces
on the American "spy" ship USS Liberty.
The Liberty was a SIGINT or signals intelligence gathering ship.
In that attack, on an American ship in the Eastern Mediterranean,
34 military personnel including a civilian crew-member were killed,
and 175 were wounded, with enough damage to the ship to end her useful service life.
Among the 34 dead, 33 were naval personnel
and one was a civilian employee of the National Security Agency, the NSA.
The ship had a crew compliment of 290 officers and men including three civilian linguists.
