israel tried and tried and tried to sink the uss liberty but did not succeed. rip to the crew who died in this tragic event.
 
The jews also kicked some Roman ass at the fortress of Antonia in Jerusalem on June 8 65AD.
 
its OK


this was probably painful enough punishment for the israeli's

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3,323,500 as full payment to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457 in compensation to the men who had been wounded. On 18 December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million as settlement for the U.S. claim of $7,644,146 for material damage to the Liberty itself.[4]
 
i think a couple F4 phantoms flying up thier ass would have been punishment enough but no luck.
 
the American jets were ordered back to their ship by Robert Macamera (sp) the Secretary of State.

Never trust the government. They will sell out their own soldiers and sailors. Imagine what they would do to you.
 
He was the defense secretary and two sets of jets were recalled by LBJ and McNamara when they found out the attack was not being carried out by Egypt as was originally thought.
 
the israeli jets were unmarked also. they were probably trying to get us into the war thinking it was egypt that attacked us. they were banking on the liberty sinking which it didnt, then they had an oh shit moment and sent a torpedo boat
 
the whole situation was a mess because at the time the Liberty requested it be granted clearance to move closer to the shoreline so it could monitor things.
They didn't get an approval but the ship moved in anyways. So you had an intelligence ship now 20 miles off the coast and you had Israel preparing for the secret push into Syria the next day.

Question is, did Israel tell the US to back that ship away and was ignored?

Only maritime attack on a US warship that Congress refused to do an investigation on. That tends to make me suspicious that the Liberty was somewhere where it wasn't supposed to be.
 
The same administration that denied giving the USS Liberty a destroyer for protection...and offered jets for protection that could be there in 10 minutes to protect the Liberty. The same jets were recalled by the administration during the attack.

The jets you speak of were nuclear tipped and headed for Egypt. The jets I am speaking of had air to air missiles and air to sea missiles. My jets were recalled twice and told to return to the ship, leaving the Liberty and its men to die at sea.

Never trust the government.
