Hello everypony. Do you know about the USS Liberty Incident? Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of that dreadful day.

>On June 8, 1967, 34 American sailors of the USS Liberty lost their lives serving their country. These Americans died when Israel, America's "ally," launched a murderous attack on the virtually unarmed American intelligence ship. To this day, many Americans are unaware that this attack even took place. During the two hour assault there was two different American flags raised yet the attack still persisted. After the crew was rescued 16 hours later they were immediately ordered silent under threat of court martial "or worse" by command.

Israel claims that the incident was an accident. That they accidentally mistook the Liberty with the El Qusier, an Egyptian ship half her size and one quarter of her displacement.

But they attacked her with unmarked planes and preceded the attack by jamming the radio frequencies used for communications between ships of the US 6th Fleet. They machine-gunned her lifeboats.
