A date that remains in infamy

Thirty-nine year ago today, June 8, 1967 -- another date which will live in infamy --- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of Israel.

The United States had and has been an unswerving ally of that nation and yet Israel wantonly and in cold-blood attacked USS Liberty (AGTR-5), murdering 34 United State Navy personnel.

After this deliberate attack, Israel’s response was “oops,” and they said they didn’t know it was a U.S. ship, even though Liberty was flying a large U.S. flag. And because the U.S. government (Republican or Democrat is immaterial) kowtows to the Israeli lobby, there has been a cover-up and denial. (See the Liberty web site) Ironically, the United States has turned its back on Liberty and a blind eye to the atrocities of the state of Israel ... as it does in the case of Palestinian civilians today.
