(TheAntiMedia) Fresh evidence presented in an exclusive Al Jazeera investigation into the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 Americans proves the incident was not a mistake. Since 1967 the ‘official story‘
has been that Israel simply misidentified the American ship as Egyptian
for...
several hours. Israel apologized to the United States and for
several decades we’ve been led to believe that this could be the only
explanation for why Israeli jets and torpedo boats would launch rockets,
missiles and torpedoes at an American target for more than two hours.
A new documentary called ‘The Day Israel Attacked America”
airing on Al Jazeera was produced and directed by award winning British
film maker Richard Belfield. Thanks to the audio evidence obtained by
Belfield, it is finally possible to prove the survivors of the attack on
the USS Liberty were right all along. The survivors have always been
extremely confident that Israel’s intentions were to sink that ship and
kill everyone on board so Egypt could be blamed for the tragedy. Why?
To convince President Lyndon Johnson (and the American public) that we
needed to declare war on Egypt. This is the definition of a ‘false flag‘. (can you say 9/11?)
It appears that once again, a conspiracy theory has turned out to
be conspiracy fact. You can finally take off your tinfoil hats!
“Earlier this year, I acquired a copy of the audiotape of the attack as it had unfolded, the real time conversations between Israeli Air Force pilots and their controllers back at base. It had never been broadcast before. I went to talk to Al Jazeera and after careful consideration, the network commissioned the film.” – Richard Belfield
Just sixteen minutes after Israel attacked America, the USS Liberty
was confirmed by Israeli forces to be an American ship. These
conversations can be heard in the documentary Al Jazeera has been airing
on their station.
“To what state does she belong?” (Answer): “American”
Yet the attacks continued for an hour and a half!
Even five minutes before the first bombing you can hear Israeli Air
Force pilots question whether the ship was American or not. You don’t
have to be a genius to understand why these pilots would be
extremely uncomfortable attacking a ship suspected to be American
without being given direct orders to do so. I believe we
can safely assume this attack wouldn’t have been carried out otherwise.
“Is it an American ship?” “What do you mean American?” “No comment.”
The torpedo is talking care of the ship now.”
As soon as the first torpedo hit the USS Liberty, Israeli torpedo
boats circled the ship and started machine-gunning the American target
for another 40 minutes. When the USS Liberty crew lowered their
lifeboats into the water to evacuate their ship, the Israelis moved
closer so they could gun down the Americans attempting to save their own
lives.
More than ten years ago a journalist named Arieh O’Sullivan from
the Jerusalem Post was allowed to listen to these same audiotapes. He published a transcript of the Israeli military transmissions
he heard directing the attack on the USS Liberty. Sixteen minutes after
the attack started, just as in the recording obtained by Al Jazeera,
O’Sullivan’s transcript (translated from Hebrew to English) shows the
same exchange.
“Kislev, what country?” (Answer): “Apparently American.”
That is where O’Sullivan’s transcript, published over ten years ago
by the Jerusalem Post, ends. There is just one major problem with that…
The attack continued for another hour and a half!
Navy Admiral Thomas Moorer, who has served this country as Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Naval Operations, once lead an
independent commission to investigate what really happened to the USS
Liberty. The commission’s findings were made public in 2003. Here are a few of the shocking conclusions.
- The attack, by a U.S. ally, was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill its entire crew.
- The attack included the machine-gunning of stretcher-bearers and life rafts .
- The White House deliberately prevented the U.S. Navy from coming to the defense of the USS Liberty. This was the first time in naval history a rescue mission had been cancelled while an American ship was under attack.
- Surviving crew members were later threatened with court-martial, imprisonment, or worse if they talked to anyone about what had happened to them; and were “abandoned by their own government.”
John Crewdson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, published in 2007 what former CIA analyst Ray McGovern has called the ‘most detailed and accurate account of the Israeli attack‘
for the Chicago Tribune and Baltimore Sun. You guessed it, Crewdson was
fired by the Chicago Tribune just a year later after working there for
24 years. You should read his work.
“Israeli messages intercepted on June 8, 1967, leave no doubt that sinking the USS Liberty was the mission assigned to the attacking Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats as the Six-Day War raged in the Middle East. Let me repeat: there is no doubt – none – that the mission of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was to destroy the USS Liberty and kill its entire crew.” – former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.This article is free and open source.
