USA's Day of Infamy, or How Israel Bombed the USS Liberty (6 photos)

Donald Jeffries wrote on June 7, 2026, about a story the US government and American media suppressed for 59 years, write Dr. Paul Craig Roberts and Donald Jeffries.





After President Trump and Congress complete their work to integrate the Israeli military into the US military and criminalize any negative remarks about Israel, mentioning the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty will be considered anti-Semitic.

This may be Jeffries' final story. The following is a retelling from his perspective.

"On June 8, 1967, the USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli forces in the eastern Mediterranean. The ship was in international waters, its affiliation clearly identified. Yet our 'greatest ally' struck with such force that 34 Liberty crew members were killed and 173 wounded. This incident had no impact on US-Israeli relations.



This topic has not been openly discussed in our country for decades. Less than four years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy—the only president who ever challenged Zionism—the attack on the Liberty was quickly forgotten by the mainstream media and politicians of both countries. parties.

In 2003, retired Navy Captain Ward Boston, a lawyer who helped lead the military investigation into the Liberty incident, made a shocking statement.

Boston claimed that President Lyndon Johnson and his Defense Secretary Robert McNamara ordered the investigation to rule the incident an accident. His affidavit was released at a Capitol Hill press conference. Johnson and McNamara ordered those leading the investigation to "admit that the attack was a mistake, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary." Boston said he remained silent for 36 years.

Previously, discussing Israel's attack on an American warship was branded "anti-Semitic." At some point, the situation changed, and the topic could be discussed without fear of attacks.





Fortunately, survivors of the Liberty attack are willing to speak out.

In August 1967, following the completion of the Naval Tribunal's investigation, the American Legion passed Resolution 508 (repealed in 1984 without review), which asserted that the published Naval Tribunal report did not provide the American public with a satisfactory answer to the question of the reasons for the attack and stated that "The American Legion condemns Israel's reckless attack" and demands "a full and thorough investigation" incident."

Gurney Williams III would write in the July 1997 issue of The American Legion ("Death Strikes the Liberty") that Congress never investigated the Israeli attack on the ship. By 1967, both US political parties were already dominated by Zionists.

CIA briefings for June and October 1967, citing sources in Tel Aviv, stated that Israeli forces knew exactly what flag the Liberty was flying and that Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan "personally ordered the attack" on the Liberty, despite the objections of senior military officials, one of whom called the attack "pure assassination."

In a 1984 interview, CIA Director Richard Helms stated that everything possible was done to conceal from the American public the enormity of this attack on an American naval vessel. "Any claim that they didn't know it was an American ship... is complete nonsense."



Admiral Thomas Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Nixon, stated: "Israel tried to prevent the Liberty's radio operators from sending a distress signal by jamming American emergency radio channels." Israeli torpedo boats fired machine guns at lifeboats launched to rescue the seriously wounded."



He then asked, "Does our government put Israel's interests above our own?"

In a 1983 interview, Moorer said, "I've never seen a president—no matter who it was—stand up to them [the Israelis]. It's mind-boggling. They always get what they want. The Israelis are constantly aware of what's going on. If Americans realized the influence these people have over our government, they would revolt. Our citizens have no idea what's going on."

Liberty survivor Dr. Richard Kipfer noted, "Never before in the history of the U.S. Navy has a board of inquiry ignored the testimony of American military eyewitnesses and not accepted the word of the attackers."

Another U.S. representative whose career was cut short by the Zionists was a senator. James Abourezk, who noted: "The shame of the USS Liberty incident is that our sailors were treated as enemies, not as the patriots and heroes they truly were.

No other incident than Israel's attack on the USS Liberty demonstrates the power of the Israel lobby to silence successive American governments. That we allow the Israelis and their proxies in the US to spread lies saddens all of us who are proud of our service members."

If we can't openly say that a foreign power attacked and killed American sailors, and our government hasn't even acknowledged it, let alone retaliated, what does that say? It says something about the complete control of the Zionists over the US.

It's crucial to fight Zionism while we can. Before they outlaw such statutes. Before they send people like us to FEMA camps.

The attack on the USS Liberty was ultimately lost in the vast and shameful history of similar crimes and attempts to cover them up.

The same corrupt officials and the press they control have lied about this and continue to lie about it. They desperately try to cover up all their transgressions because they know the truth will liberate the American people.

This issue is more relevant than ever, given the complete dominance of Zionists in "America 2.0." This is evident in the senseless bloodshed in Iran and the growing demands for a law criminalizing criticism of Israel.

The survivors of the attack on the USS Liberty are grim evidence of our capitulation to another nation.

If any other country had carried out such an attack in 1967, we would have declared war on them. But because Israel was our "beloved ally," there was no embargo. Aid continued to flow unabated.

This is a disgrace. My condolences to the victims and veterans who survived the attack. Don't forget the USS Liberty."
