They attacked it for hours unobstructed and still failed to sink it. Then upon their fail they gunned down the life boat passengers from PT boats.
Also lol the search page on YouTube captioning a wikipedia link to explain the event here

Why did the Commanding Officer of the ship get a medal of honor?
You are on the internet; do a search.
Raw, unfiltered antisemitism kept the ship afloat
>How did they not manage to sink this ship?
Ammunition costs money.
Less competent larpers. 3 MTBs, big slow ship, one hit.
Wait, I thought Israel was our greatest ally. Why would they attack a US flaged ship? It seems like it they knew it was American, but attacked anyway.
They did on the radio chatter according to the documentary. So then they either shat them selves and tried to cover it up by finish them off or planned it from the start to scapegoat Egypt.
Also they used unmarked plains
That seems downright criminal.
Well, yeah. That’s why the survivors are so pissed off.
and are still being gangstalked by spooks to this day, except the commanding officer of the ship who got a medal of honor for no reason.
Blowing up boats is so cliched of a false flag, they might as well have sent a bomb to the a US base with a great pyramids postcard
>Blowing up boats is so cliched of a false flag
Not back then, it was all the rage. Gulf of Tonkin incident was in 1964,
> they might as well have sent a bomb to the a US base with a great pyramids postcard
Reminds me of how according to Israeli intelligence and then Bush Jr those anthrax letters after 9/11 were from Saddam Hussein and it ended up being Bruce Edwards Ivins an biodefense researcher in the US who was found to have just committed suicide before the FBI raided and found him dead.. All those letters were sent to opposition of the Iraq war btw.

Picrel is the fakest shit I have ever seen, I never actually saw the letters before
Iirc the Israelis had told us to keep ships out of the area the attack happened in, there was a lot of confusion in the comms between the pilots and their controllers about the ships flags, and really it doesn't seem like a deliberate attack tbh
>t. just finished Six Days of War
>At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish
>international waters
>we don't know who's ship it is
>attack it anyway
>proceed to gun down the American Sailoers in their life boats from PT boats wich is a war crime.
>Ship still floats and gets rescued by carrier group.
>we are sorry it was an accident! Honest!
Kill your self
This
They’re not a US ally, they’re fricking weasels that will do anything to manipulate someone into fighting for them.
>They attacked it for hours unobstructed
they flew two sorties over it and that was enough to put her dead in the water, a real attack would have sunk it without a doubt.
Warships are harder to sink than most people think.
>Then upon their fail they gunned down the life boat passengers from PT boats.
that one's a crock of shit. The Israeli boats were fired on by the liberty while they were trying to sort out what was happening, and they fired back.
>mystery ship enters contested waters
>reports of surprise enemy landing strike come in
>msytery ship heads right for the beach
>shoot it
>whoopsie daisy, US spy ship was spying and didn't tell the combatants
FTFY
They did tell Isreal, but they just so happened to forget to add them to their war maps
>a single ship
>surprise attack
Why so cranky Rabbi? Last in line at the bris again ?
>that one's a crock of shit.
No that's what our very own sailors said. I'll take their word over the IDF.
>The Israeli boats were fired on by the liberty while they were trying to sort out what was happening, and they fired back.
So the IDF was under attack first, oh brother.
Only a Berger would say something like that
Suprisingly, the BBC had a really well-done documentary on this
sauce?
ty
The BBC does a lot of suprisingly good/honest documentaries. In their secret history of the troubles series the BBC basically confirms that MI5 was enabling the UVF to murder irish catholics.
Doubt it
Because israelites can’t fight anyone thats not an inbred goat herder who worships a book written in squiggly lines and has an IQ range of legally moronic.
If there’s one thing Britain has for it its half decent media.
>not a deliberate attack
Like any fricking ME country was going to have a functioning research vessel w it h the goddamn American flag on it. Either way you spin it they deliberately attacked the vessel for the purpose of sinking it, and there’s no way none of them saw the American flag waving around on it.
Modern leftists in britain hate both the UKand israel. Nothing surprising about honesty when the right guy's the bad guy.
>Modern leftists in britain hate both the UKand israel.
Not my problem.
Attacked for 75minutes
820 Rocket and cannon holes
40 foot wide torpedo hole
AND THEY DROPPED NAPALM
>Napalm
Why
Why do these threads never mention the Israelis apologised, court martialled those responsible and paid compensation to the families of the men?
Which seems like a thing you'd do if you have a tragic military accident. When America zaps some hapless family by mistake they pay compensation, but rarely apologise or indict those responsible.
Punish those who failed in your super secret mission to get the US involved for plausible deniability. Now you’re repeating their same horseshit 50 years later. Pretty obvious.

> Why do these threads never mention the Israelis apologised
They are sorry they failed to sink it
They apologized because what would happen if they didn't?
Who was court martialed? They made a bullshit coverup that the USG knew from intercepts was a lie.
The total compensation amount was added to their aid package the next year.
>court martialled those responsible
Lies
It's true, McGonagle was never prosecuted for his misdeeds, among them perjury and obstruction of justice.
Israel did not court martial those who attacked.
They attacked the ship with anti-personnel weapons. Napalm doesn’t sink ships. It wasn’t a planned strike, it was a target of opportunity on day five of a six day war.
Israels' anti-ship weapons were shit. And they still saw the flag and Roman letters.
>it was a target of opportunity
yeah that's why they used unmarked jets to attack it and gunned down the life boats

What a great timeline we're living in
The ship had a giant American flag on it and when the sailors were bobbing around on their life boats waving at the PT boats they got machined gunned by them.
Jews fricking suck at warfare.
Qatar actually made a good doc
