A ctivists demonstrated at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington D.C. on the 51st anniversary of the attack on the USS Liberty by the State of Israel. The attack occurred on the 8th of June, in 1967. Wave after wave of Israeli fighter jets, and a fusillade of torpedoes from Israeli boats left 34 Americans dead, and over 170 wounded.
The incident has never received proper investigation, nor publicity, since its occurrence. The media and the State have chosen deliberately to hold their forked tongues on the matter for over half a century.
Questions abound as to what the true purpose of the attack was. Many theories exist, many of which are likely more correct than they are false. However, the crux of the issue is that Americans died at the hands of a foreign nation which has never felt retaliation or had recompense demanded of them.
Because of the encompassing influence of the international Jewish lobby within the American government, the State of Israel has occupied a position of near-infallibility in the eyes of America's appointed officials, as well as the media's talking heads.
Let not the scores of Americans killed in foreign wars at the behest of Israel's advisers be forgotten, either. The Liberty was subject to a tragedy where America's foreign entanglements were boiled to simplicity. Elsewhere Americans are killed by propped up rebel factions, faux guerrilla forces, and governmental puppets all the same. In June of 1967, the world had a chance to see the perpetrators behind the usual mask.
