Both Israel and the Johnson administration cooperated in suppressing the facts. The items that the Whitehouse were concerned about the public learning:
The US was supposedly a neutral in the 6 Day War, but the Johnson administration was secretly helping Israel against the Arabs/Russia. For example, U2 flights identified the location of Egyptian aircraft so the IDF could destroy them on the ground.
Sec Defense McNamara had foolishly removed Liberty from Navy control and placed it under the command of the JCS, even removing its normal escort, making it a vulnerable target.
Sec Defense McNamara recalled the rescue aircraft, leaving our sailors to die.
Old books (1985, 1995), by Paul Findley (former Republican representative from Illinois) had a good discussion of what transpired back then, either in "They Dare to Speak Out" or "Deliberate Deceptions", I don't remember which one (or both, perhaps). The attack on our servicemen on the USS Liberty was NOT a mistake, but was, as this brave veteran states, a planned, deliberate attack by the israelis, subsequently covered up by despicable beasts in our own government.
It's long past time that decent individuals in both America and Israel, deceived and manipulated with narrative lies on both sides, are made to understand these lies and the geopolitical deception to cover up this savagery so that survivors and victims of this attack and their families can have an opportunity to see justice finally prevail.
Rest In Peace to all the victims who died and may God help heal all who were injured (physically, emotionally, spiritually) during the brutal israeli attack on the USS Liberty. May God bless and protect Mr Granstski and his loved ones as he stands, even fifty years later, to commemorate the brave US servicemen who lost their lives. 🙏✝️
The USS Liberty has had several mini revivals over the years and would show its head above the waves. Sad story and the attack was no mistake.
Remember the USS Pueblo!!!
Some images those who may be unfamiliar with this incident can browse through. Ask yourself why we never hear about this incident in the FNM (fake news media).
(I came across these while searching for the magazine cover anon u/SOGWAP mentioned.)
Funny how that narrative is coming to light right now and hardly a mention in 50 years.

Our Greatest Ally
My buddy Petty Officer Mike Gaston was on the liberty when that happened. Find the life magazine from that and he is on the front cover.
