We are unpacking the events surrounding one of the tragedies of the Six Day War, when Israel mistakenly fired at the American spy ship, USS Liberty.
Over 50 years after this incident took place, there are still those who believe there has been a decades-long government-level cover up hiding what happened on that fateful day. And the accident has been co-opted by conspiracy theorists who believe there is something more sinister than a terrible case of mistaken identity.

The "El Quseir" was literally HALF the size of the USS Liberty… Love how this clip makes them appear to be the same size doing a side-by-side comparison.
This man shouldn't be allowed on AMERICAN soil.
The PROOF is in the voice recordings you didn't show .
They knew it was the Americans and reported it back to base SEVERAL times before being ordered to attack.
You are not our ally son.
What a terrible account of what happened.
The anti-Semite comments at the end clearly explain this.
I think it’s a red flag when the narrator uses name-calling (bigot and anti-Semite) as part of his argument.
You forgot about navy sailors saying that previous Israeli planes flew over the liberty waving. Also they said they had US flags and never took them down
The question is, why did the US Government tell all the survivors to keep their mouth shut?
false flag attack to slander arabs israel terrorists love those
jews killed Charlie Kirk
I believe the survivors ive watched groups of them speak. They were there that day
Pretty convenient that you left out the part where the Israeli's shot at the life boats and jammed the SOS frequency that only an ally to the US would know.
