Why is the state of Israel our closest ally? In 1967 Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty. It attempted to mass murder 294 US citizens/US military personnel? It was successful at mass murder 34 US citizens. Did Israel do this to make it appear Egypt attacked the USS Liberty? This was during Israels 1967 war, crimes against Egypt. Do we have to worry about Israel attacking us again? Has Israel done similar attacks against the US in the past? This ship was an intelligence/spy ship. These people were highly trained at intelligence gathering. If they say they were deliberately attacked, they were deliberately attacked by Israel? Sixth Fleet Abandons USS Liberty Under Fire. DoD Approves Of Their Action: The Department of Defense Law of War Program (DoD Directive 2311.01E – formerly DoD Directive 5100.77) provides that “All reportable incidents committed by or against U.S. personnel, enemy persons, or any other individual are reported promptly, investigated thoroughly, and, where appropriate, remedied by corrective action.” On June 8, 2005 the USS Liberty Veterans Association submitted A Report of War Crimes Committed Against the USS Liberty, June 8, 1967 to the Department of Defense in accordance with the DoD Law of War Program. The War Crimes Report we filed lists allegations of acts committed during the attack on our ship, including: The jamming of our radios on both US Navy tactical and international maritime distress frequencies; The use of unmarked aircraft by the forces attacking the USS Liberty; The deliberate machine gunning of life rafts we had dropped over the side in anticipation of abandoning ship; and The recall of two flights of rescue aircraft that had been launched from Sixth Fleet aircraft carriers. After those flights were recalled, Sixth Fleet personnel listened to our calls for help as the attack continued knowing they were forbidden to come to our assistance. The Department of Defense has unilaterally waived its obligation under the Department of Defense Law of War Program by refusing to investigate the allegations contained in the War Crimes Report. The Department of Defense has also refused to provide a speaker to address the crew of the USS Liberty and explain their actions with regard to the War Crimes Report. usslibertyveterans.org
