The Liberty was clearly identified and flying an American flag. After the first assault, Israeli forces machine-gunned the life rafts. There weren’t supposed to be any survivors.
Aside from Zionist President Lyndon Johnson, John McCain’s father, John McCain, Sr., Commander of US Navy Europe, was one of the most important figures in the coverup.
There are a number of great books on the topic, but the best introduction is the film Sacrificing Liberty.
REMEMBER THE LIBERTY.
Israel is our enemy.
Anyone know why this happened?
What I've read "In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$25.9 million in 2021) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($26.4 million in 2021) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($19.7 million in 2021) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest"
Did they pay us with our own money?
Most likely duh
