Why has the media forgotten the 40th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty?

Answer 1

Because they own the media and us. We are the real Isreal, and Americans are it's consumers. With powerful Jews in Hollywood, the media, and Washington (Rahm is next?), who are we to debate their actions. And, I will be called anti-semetic, and a nazi for speaking the truth. That is how they conditioned us to silence our free speach on the subject, by using these terms. but I am American and have freedom of speech.

Answer 2

They haven't. Check Google News. 50 articles on the USS Liberty since May 11, including from the BBC News, CounterPunch, the Baltimore Sun, USA Today, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Huffington Post, Channel 4 News, the Arizona Republic, the Washington Jewish Week, and The Age.

Answer 3

The tragic assault by Israeli forces during the Six Day War in 1967 on an American vessel, the USS Liberty, has been a source of controversy and conspiracy theories since it occurred. Several government investigations have concluded that the attack, in which 34 American servicemen were killed and many more injured, was carried out in error. Furthermore, every piece of information declassified to date - most recently in June 2004 - has supported this conclusion.

Much of this information is available to anyone with an Internet connection. Nonetheless, many continue to allege that Israel attacked the Liberty knowing that it was an American ship and that they were killing American servicemen. For detractors of Israel, the incident - and the alleged U.S. government cover-up that followed - powerfully demonstrates the treachery and power of the Jewish State and its American supporters. The story, told from this perspective, has become a propaganda tool to undermine the legitimacy of Israel.

This article debunks the leading conspiracy theories suggesting that Israel acted malevolently.

Background

On June 8, 1967, during the Six Day War, Israeli war planes and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering ship, while it was on a surveillance mission off the shores of El Arish, in the Sinai Peninsula. 34 Americans died and 171 were injured. Israel claimed it mistook the Liberty for an enemy vessel. Several Israeli and U.S. investigations corroborated that claim.

In 1999, moreover, a National Security Agency report from 1981 was released claiming that "the tragedy resulted not only from Israeli miscalculation but also from faulty U.S. communications practices." Since July 2003, this report has been available on the NSA Web site accompanied by a recording of radio communications between Israeli pilots made by a U.S. spy plane on the scene throughout the episode.

The NSA report and other documents declassified since the incident - including a trove of government materials released in January 2004 - support findings that the bombing was a case of mistaken identity. Some of the different investigations and their conclusions are listed below.

Answer 4

It would be nice if you could at least get your facts straight.

Israel did not 'attack' the Liberty. It was a tragic case of friendly fire - just like the friendly fire cases Americans are currently often involved in in Iraq.

Israel wrongly identified the ship as a threat and the moment the mistake was realised, Israel pulled back and rushed to help the people on the Libery. There is no logical reason whatsoever for Israel to attack an American ship; the USA is Israel's strongest ally.

Those of you who persist in believing this mad conspiracy theory should really get your facts straight.
