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.

This guy sounds like he’s on Israel’s side
This is BS. Why were the sailors forbidden to discuss what happened. Read the books, now it is indisputable that Israel and Johnson initiated this whole murderous affair!😢 I have nothing against the Jews or Israel, only their government…..and ours!
Propaganda
Murdering 34 sailors, injuring 171 more, destroying a 400 million dollar US Navy intelligence ship, and accusing the decorated US Navy survivors of being anti semitic 👍 Got it
Ummm yeh
This guy is defending Isreal – shame on him . I disliked the video .
Pack of lies
They had up a huge American flag — "holiday colors" — but I guess that doesn't matter to a lying scumbag defending an attack on an American ship. And later at the end of this film you mentioned it so why did you pretend at the beginning of your video that there were no markings on the ship?
Dude, I've gotten to the end of this where you start making up your excuses by claiming every time Israel is criticized that this is antisemitism. I am Jewish on my mother's side. I am not antisemitic nor are the people criticizing Israel. There are plenty of Jewish Voice For Peace members who disagree with things Israel has done and they are not antisemitic. What you try to do is conflate Israeli with Jewish when in fact many critics of Israel are Jewish. Even some Israelis criticize Israel such as the Israeli born Miko Peled and the late Yeshayahu Liebowitz.
Stop making bogus accusations and blood libels about people criticizing Israel. Israel is not perfect. United States also makes mistakes. We are allowed to criticize it and we are supposed to be allowed to criticize any nation without liars trying to silence us.
This guy is jewish
