8th june 1967 first the israili air force and then the navy attacked an american spy ship and killed 34 and injured over a hundred spies knowingly in international waters. is anybody aware of this incident.

the american 6th fleet was 500 miles away totally unaware of the attack the israilies were able to jam their communication. once they found out about, they went about covering it up rather than take action. brave americans indeed.

Yes I am aware of the incident!

The American Ship was mistaken for an Egyptian Naval Vessel during the 6 Day War which was declared on Israel by the Arab World when they had plans to push the Jews into the ocean and were as a result given a true hiding.

It was a friendly fire incident.

Are you aware of an incident where a Turkish Navy Ship was mistaken for a Hellenic Navy ship and was sunk by the world's best Turkish Air Force near Paphos?

you are very stupid person. the conversation between pilots and control was recorded. there is no doubt that the israili pilots were aware it was an american ship. there is also no doubt that the israili navy was aware it was an american ship, they could see the amercian flag as they fired 5 torpedos at it. they also jammed the the ships radar so it could not communicate with the 6th fleet. only israilies new the frequencies america was using at the time. pull the other one you stupid idiot.

Do you really think so?

Oh well, you seem to have it all worked out then despite the USN investigation of the incident!

One more thing. Aircraft do NOT communicate with ships they are about to attack during a war. This would be the most absurd scenario. Usually, they want them to know they are under attack only after they have been bombed if possible. They also don't pay attention to the flag the ship flies and bloody hell, by the time they see that detail at 1500 km/Hr and only 50m high, it's too bloody late. But you seem to know it all don't you?

He mistook ship for sheep.

the ship was in communication with the 6th fleet and they jammed it so it could not communicate before they hit it. they knew the american frequencies. you really think the israilies are that stupid.

there is no way it was a mistake. the question is why did the amercian not only take no action but armed israel of all the weaponry they lost in the 6 day war. what is the reason for it.

let us not forget that 34 spies were killed and over 100 hundred injured in this attack which took place in international waters.

Bullshit!

The Israelis were not communicating with the Americans at all.

There were only communications between each wave of aircraft and Haifa Control and in those communications they kept referring to the Ship as an Egyptian Ship. The Comms intercepts were from an American Aircraft in the area.

Secondly, the 6th Fleet wouldn't JAM an IAF aircraft.

Thirdly, the Israelis would have no reason to listen into American Frequencies and these frequencies change on a daily basis during a war and scrambled.

Furthermore, the Israeli aircraft that attacked the American Ship were French Mirage III, and not American.

Paphitis;

I am sorry but you are wrong! The Iraeli’s DID know it was an American ship and even which American ship! It was identified as a US ship before the attack, it was clearly visually identified as such by its ID painted on the sides GTR-5 and it was flying a very large US flag. It was also in international waters which means it was not in the war zone.

The Israeli’s did not attempt ‘a positive identification’ so, beware if you go on a cruise from Limassol..... the Israeli’s shoot first and don’t bother too much about international conventions or Law. If you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time Israel won’t give sh*t!

There is a lot of hypothesis of why the Israeli’s deliberately attacked The USS Liberty the most credible being that it was interception of all the ground/air chatter as the Isreali’s illegally attacked the Golan Heights in contravention of ALL international agreements.

But .... for sure ..... it was no accidental encounter and the crew of USS Liberty were threatened by the US Government as to what would happen if any of them opened their mouths. It was another one of those things that were treated as a ‘conspiracy theory’ for years and it is only now that snippets of the truth are coming out.
