How could a modern well kept modern naval Vessel flying a US flag and bristling with ECW antennae be mistaken for a rusted out Egyptian horse carrier that looked nothing like it and was less than 40% of it's size? Do all Israeli pilots have to be legally blind? It is known that the US Government has issued statements alleging it was a case of mistaken identity, however they are thought by most analysts to be the result of short term political expediency at that time, and this has since been confirmed by later admissions by several Israeli witnesses. Source:http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/0693/9306019.htm Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag* and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested. *When first asked, Israel denied that there was a flag at all".(my note) Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel. The pilot's protests also were heard by radio monitors in the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon. Then-U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter has confirmed this. Porter told his story to syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak and offered to submit to further questioning by authorities. Unfortunately, no one in the U.S. government has any interest in hearing these first-person accounts of Israeli treachery. Key members of the Lyndon Johnson administration have long agreed that this attack was no accident. Perhaps most outspoken is former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer. "I can never accept the claim that this was a mistaken attack, " he insists. Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk is equally outspoken, calling the attack deliberate in press and radio interviews. Similarly strong language comes from top leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency (some of whose personnel were among the victims), National Security Council, and from presidential advisers such as Clark Clifford, Joseph Califano and Lucius Battle. A top-secret analysis of Israel's excuse conducted by the Department of State found Israel's story to be untrue. Yet Israel and its defenders continue to stand by their claim that the attack was a "tragic accident" in which Israel mistook the most modern electronic surveillance vessel in the world for a rusted-out 40-year-old Egyptian horse transport. Despite the evidence, no U.S. administration has never found the courage to defy the Israeli lobby by publicly demanding a proper accounting from Israel. |

For a start, Israel is the only country outside the US to have received these weapons. So how is it that they just happen to be found on a ship consigned to China? US back yard arms dealers? Like all weapons they have Serial Numbers and other unique identifying features that identifies every detail of their manufacture right down to the day, plant location and batch number. The matter was reported to the US by Finnish government as part of the GWOT , I suppose you are going to insist the Finns are just being Antisemitic monsters who hate Israel? Full story:http://maritime-executive.com/articl...d-for-shanghai Israel's treachery and dealings with the enemies of the US has been documented for many years. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...a-1510406.html |

It is also widely believed that Israel did this in a desperate attempt to further involve the US in their war against Egypt, thinking that they would quickly sink an un armed Intelligence gathering vessel and blame it on Egypt. Hoping the US would retaliate, but that's only a theory ![]() |
