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

January 12, 2004

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 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.
