The Infamous Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty: Special Report
(Dr. E.A. Richards, Palestine Chronicle, June 8, 2002)
Without any warning, the Liberty was attacked by Israeli fighter planes and torpedo boats while she lay in quiet waters off Bardawil. The United States naval vessel was machine-gunned repeatedly, and took 81 hits from aircraft rocket and cannon fire and a direct hit midships from a torpedo fired by one of the Israeli torpedo boat attack squadron. . . . Thirty four American sailors were killed in the dastardly attack, and more than 170 were wounded. . . . In 1976 it was reported that the secret findings of the Naval Board of Inquiry included the comment that the Israeli attack was deliberate. Why are certain elements of the report, and their conclusions still suppressed by the government and almost all of the media? . . . Evidence of the Israeli plan to leave no survivors was compelling. The lifeboats were shot out of the water and the lifeboats still on the vessel were shot full of holes. . . . Even today, as was then, the Israeli Defense Force is strictly an Israeli Attack Force, at its best against unarmed, or poorly armed, opposition who cannot effectively defend itself against American- made aircraft, tanks, armour, and heavy weapons.
