Six-Day War: Censored Voices: A film by Mor Loushy

This 2018 film by Mor Loushy includes original recordings of Israeli soldiers recounting their involvement in the Six Day War. The video shows some original footage of that war.

This film tends to support the claim that Israel attacked the Liberty because it was able to intercept radio communications from IDF forces in the Sinai who were ordered to murder captured Egyptian soldiers and civilians.

“Leave no one alive...Show no mercy.”

“For me, it wasn't a liberated city; It was an occupied city.”

“Zionism is a tragedy from the start.”

The Day Israel Attacked America

Al Jazeera English

November 2014

49 minutes

These Americans appear in this video: Ensign Dave Lucas (died October 2018), Research Officer Lloyd Painter, Communication Technician Jim Kavanagh, Russian Linguist Bryce Lockwood, Bob Wilson with the NSA, Damage Control Jim Smith, Bill Wolle in charge of the Arab-Israel Desk, State Department Drector of Intelligence and Research Tom Hughes, US Navy retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman and director of the National Security Agency.

Bryce Lockwood claims that the Liberty's mission was to monitor Russian communications in Egypt, not Israel communications.

Tom Hughes mentions that President Johnson leaked a story to Newsweek magazine about the attack. When a story broke that Johnson was the leaker of the Newsweek story, the Israelis said that Johnson committed blood libel and gross anti-Semitism. This would have neded Johnson's career. Bobby Ray Inman suggests that Johnson didn't want to anger the Israeli's because of the “Jewish donors”.

Inman also tells how Israeli's captured Russian surface to air missiles (SA-2 SAMs) and gave them to the U.S. so countermeasures could be developed. In return, the Johnson Administration “watered down” the Liberty investigation.

The video claims that the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Avraham Harman, wanted Israel to “own up” to the deliberate attack and put the guilty on trial. But he was ignored.

The video also reveals the name “Stone Ruby”, the codename for a mutual intelligence exchange between Israel and the U.S. that was established in the 1990s.

C-SPAN: 1967 Arab-Israeli War and USS Liberty

January 12, 2004

David Satterfield

Pay particular attention when David Satterfield mentions Israeli settlements. He says that for there to be a lasting peace, Israeli must stop building settlements on partially or wholly Palestinian ancestral lands. Since then, the building of settlements and the removal of Palestinians from that land has accelerated. This is verified by Jimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid book.

Harriet Schwar, an editor with the Office of State Department Historian, presents a timeline of the May 1967 events. The Liberty section begins at 36 minutes, 54 seconds from the start of the video. The emphasis is on the U.S. adminsitration's concern about the Soviets.

Note what Schwar says about Clark Clifford's reaction to the Liberty attack. Clifford didn't believe that Israel would attack the Liberty and suggested to Johnson that they should handle it as if the Arabs or Soviets had attacked the Liberty.

David Hatch speaks about the USS Liberty at 1 hour, 5 minutes from the start of the video.

What Really Happened to the USS Liberty?

Tucker Carlson Network

10 minutes

In this interview, Clayton Morris claims that Liberty sailors were strafed when “they got in the water”. This is not true. The Liberty sailors didn't abandon ship. Non were in the water as a result of the attack.

Morris claims the CIA conspired with the Israel government to position the Liberty to a spot where it could be sunk, thereby giving the US a reason to enter the war against Egypt and other Arab states. There's no unimpeachable hard evidence of this.

Tucker Carlson says the sailors on the Liberty were conscripted, because there was a draft. While there was a draft, some of the Liberty survivors have said that they were pleased to be assigned to the Liberty; that it was a cushy assignment. It was cushy when they were operating along the Atlantic coast of Africa.

Carlson implies that Johnson is somehow responsible for the assassination of JFK.
