Der Zwischenfall mit der USS Liberty ereignete sich am 8. Juni 1967 während des Sechs-Tage-Krieges, als israelische Luft- und Seestreitkräfte das Geheimdienstschiff USS Liberty der US-Marine in internationalen Gewässern nahe der Sinai-Halbinsel angriffen, wobei 34 amerikanische Besatzungsmitglieder getötet und 171 verletzt wurden. Israel behauptete, es habe das Schiff mit einem ägyptischen Schiff verwechselt und entschuldigte sich später und zahlte eine Entschädigung, aber viele Überlebende und US-Beamte glaubten seit langem, dass der Angriff möglicherweise vorsätzlich war um israelische Militäraktionen zu verschleiern. Die USA akzeptierten Israels Erklärung öffentlich

For the context:
The USS Liberty incident occurred on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, when Israeli forces attacked the U.S. Navy ship USS Liberty in international waters, killing 34 and injuring 171. Israel called it a case of mistaken identity and apologized, what I don’t understand is that even after 34 killed and 171 wounded , the isrealis got away with the assault, scott-free , and US publicly forgave them
The victims that killed were not even soldiers, they were data researchers. And still, USA put israel above its own citizens, its sad and pains me that victims never got justice
True. America usually attacks its own ships to start conflicts.
Yeah kinda ruins the whole meme of Don’t Touch Our Boats when you let your attack dog get away with it.
The thing is they knew it was an American ship, yet they still attacked the ship, without any warnings
How dare you question the false flags of our greatest ally?
Damn
#ANOTHER 5 TRILLION TO ISRAEL
I was listening to one of the survivors of that ship attack (on Tucker iirc dunno might be wrong) and he said two things that stuck out to me:
One he said a lotta guys on that ship had the star of David on thier bunkers etc as they were devout zionist christians (y’know the works) and afterwards they couldn’t even reconcile with the fact that the nation they were so keen on supporting, just killed a whole bunch of their mates.
The other thing he said that stuck out to me was, according to him right before this deployment a whole bunch of CIA spooks type guys were boarded on the ship and the regular crew was advised to not communicate with them except under exigency circumstances (no chit chat or whatever). My personal theory is this boat picked up some transmission or some info that wasn’t supposed to leak out and promptly got lit up by the ‚raelis.
Israel was forced to repay all damages. They did not „get away scot-free“.
