Al Jazeera investigates the shocking truth behind a deadly Israeli attack on a US naval vessel.
In 1967, at the height of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force launched an unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty, a US Navy spy ship that was monitoring the conflict from the safety of international waters in the Mediterranean.
Israeli jet fighters hit the vessel with rockets, cannon fire and napalm, before three Israeli torpedo boats moved in to launch a second more devastating attack. Though she did not sink, the Liberty was badly damaged. Thirty-four US servicemen and civilian analysts were killed, another 171 were wounded.
Later Israel apologised for what it claimed to be a tragic case of mistaken identity. It said that it had believed the ship to be hostile Egyptian naval vessel. US President Lyndon Johnson was privately furious but publicly the White House chose not to challenge the word of its closest Middle East ally and accepted that the attack had been a catastrophic accident.
However, as this exclusive Al Jazeera investigation reveals, fresh evidence throws new light on exactly what happened that fateful day – and the remarkable cover up that followed.

Grata a al Jazeera por expor a realidade.
Israel representabo que de mais MALIGNO na humanidade:
Colonialismo, mentiras, fundamentalismo religioso, supremacia banca…GANANCIA, deslealdade..
MAS os governos norte americanos tiram dinheiro dos impostos pagos por seus cidadaos , para entregar a esses DEMONIOS sionistas
# free Palestina 🇧🇷 🇵🇸
# free Assange 🎤 👨🏼💻
They clearly wanted to sink this ship and blame it on Egypt or other enemy nation!!! Do not you see! Same strategy use aggain and aggain.
Theyre getting a reality check now that Americans dont care about them and their affairs, especially when its dragging the US down with them!
Nice try, but this was debunked by historians years ago.
You dumb fool this is true story
Lavon Affair? King David Hotel Bombing? ✈️✈️🏢🏢? It all leads to these people blaming arabs. And it was never debunked.
First time you’ve heard of this? Consider the source.
I dont understand how people don’t recognize Israel as a terrorist organization!!! Look at the evidence!!!🤦 911, the decades of atrocities and war crimes against Arabs, how the fuq do so many people support these evil terrorists, i think its because they just DON’T KNOW, we all know who owns and operates the overwhelming majority of media, and they have been covering up these atrocities for decades, its absolutely disgusting!!!
Because the cia and Mossad are best friends they did 9/11 to invade iraq for gold oil and dope
they create all mass shooters in USA by sayanim inside FBI and ADL.
This is a great documentary and it just goes to show that even though Israel is an ally they will do what they have to and you know that they wanted to sink the ship and have it erased off the map and for those people to disappear and got very unlucky.
Liberty would have gotten justice if it werent for Johnson.
and also one time when i was 3 years old and i went to palastine i almost got bombed and my mom was pregnat
If you think that the zionist CULT doesn’t own America, then why didn’t the American ‘news media’, at the very least, reveal this story to the American people???
Joe Magnets
‘DUAL CITIZENSHIP’? If you’re a member of THE CULT that still owns us all, loyal only to israel and THEMSELVES that’s the dual citizenship that you’re ‘loyal’ to.
Joe Magnets
Not shocked coming from a trigger happy out of control country whom feels like they can do as they please
I am not brave enough to coment this , I am shocked
It’s not “spying” if you’re in International waters……HELLO!!!!
Americans are done with isreal, there is no more doubt about how poisonous they are to everyone but themselves and they are the most deceptive people Ive ever learned about.
Too late
The Israeli and United States governments do not care for their military or their families at all. Only when the tragedy fits the agenda does anything of significance even happen.
And that’s your friends, you crooked Yankees!
As an american servicemen, I’m disgusted by this story and the unbounded support our government gives to israel.. I think it’s time we stop giving aid and military support.
They will lobby against you they way they lobby against liberty. People like the veterans here had been trying, they don’t even give these veterans any stage on the mainstream media.
From river to the sea Palestine 🇵🇸 will be free 🇵🇸. 🇵🇸
Allahu Akbar Allah is the greatest
I hope this goes viral..
Allahu Akbar Allah is the greatest
America is always supporting Israel….WHEN has Israel ever come to our aide or given America BILLIONS ??? NEVER
If you count, the grocery store is the fast food industry in the pharmaceutical industry I guess it depends on how you look at it
@@joebrewer4529 you’re not helping your case because all that stuff you listed is poison.
What monsters our rulers are.
Thank you for bringing this up. Odd behavior for America’s “strongest ally” to attack a US Navy vessel, isn’t it?
and US still love Israel. what a joke.
If this event happened today h*mas would’ve been blamed .
I was just recommended to watch this video, based on recent genocide occurring in Palestine by IsN0Treal. My question is, why does America still consider this country an Ally? If it were any other nation, this would’ve been considered an act of war.
FREE 🇵🇸 FROM THE 🏞 2 THE 🌊!!!!!
you would have to search into “urban moving systems 2001” to truly know why
Pay the leaders. Brainwash the people. Isn’t lobbying is just the slang for bribing, change the word and suddenly it is acceptable.
@silvercat3243 facts
Ally? It’s more like enemies within. It’s just a matter of time they will become enemies. Mark my words.
@@floppydisk9541 and the isr.aeli propaganda machine deletes comments
F Iz. Another reason to hate LBJ.
I would pray to God not to let the human race learn war anymore. Remove the knowledge from all human brains.
then they would just use other ways to destroy us and we’d have no knowledge of how to fight back.
How could people not know about this & so much more Israel has done to the Goyim of course even calling Pal’s Animals
Guys this is America coming in the name of Israel wake up people
It’s just sickening how much contempt the U.S has for it’s own citizens, it’s own men in service, all in favor of an enemy disguised as an ally. A parasite in fact.
We must exonerate THE CULT that invented the INSANE CLOWN that chose only THEM, has a covenant only with THEM, gave
LAND only to THOSE that call that insane clown THE CULT invented, ‘god’. But NEVER blame THE JEW, because THEY are completely ‘trustworthy’ to do what’s BEST FOR ‘america’, ISRAEL, and THEMSELVES.
Joe Magnets
It was a failed false flag , Americans don’t even know that another false flag worked and had more damage than this one.
If Israel was a true ally to the US, they wouldn’t need lobbying.
This is it makes me sick and disbelieve. America 🇺🇸 what to say.
I hope that the USA 🇺🇸 people don’t forget about what the Israeli are capable of doing! They are TOXIC 👿👿💯
If Israel could put the US government in a choke-hold like that imagine when a far more hostile group with far bigger population and far bigger budget comes sneaking in. US would seize to exist because of corrupt politicians.
On September 11, while all airports on US soil were shot down, at 17 o’clock one El Al passenger aircraft with around 150 israelí passengers got special permission from US president to leave American soil. See Christopher Bollyn solves September 11.
10000%
Google Israeli Spies Caught in the US-Top Three Cases .. You guys need to wake up they are very dangerous people to have as friends
Hamas was hiding inside they had no choice.
Yep…israeli propaganda 101
it’s funny bc hamas had not yet existed. so I wonder who else they blamed it on?
3000 Egypt prisoners were killed & then they attacked the Americans
So many years later, nothing has changed. Especially the last sentence is very true.
Israel is Americas worst enemy
tiktok led me to this
Is-not-real attacked the Liberty in line with it’s rule in “Operation Cyanide” which was to fabricate an attack on an Amirican ship then Egypt would be blamed, only for the USA to retaliate aginst Egypt with Atomic bombs.
Please Search for the BBC 2002 documentary about the Liberty “Dead in the water”, you will find other USS Liberty & the aircraft carrier USS America crew members and the US embassy senior staff conferming this.
Title should read as ” The day America prostituted itself before Israel”
Touche!

Shocking
At the time, George Ball, the U.S. Under Secretary of State noted: That it seemed clear to the Israelis that as American leaders did not have the courage to punish them for the blatant murder of American citizens, they would let them get away with anything..
This is the perfect way to describe America, Israel‘s prostitute.
Why no one knows about this?
Zionist are really allergic to Facts
People do not really understand that the US is Israel’s puppet, and not the other way around. And the IRS is Israeli Revenue Service. You may not like it or even disagree, but this is the truth.
tidbits from the talmud.
This Israel is like a mad dog. It’s best to stay away from them.
What sick president to betray are navy
I can’t believe they left kids under 5 to get nothing while they make billions off their dead parent’s lives
“They would let them get away with anything.” Thats the end quote 9 years ago and look at what we are allowing them to do now. Free Palestine.
To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal, to be a friend of Israel…😀
But they are our “friends”
Shame on israhell shame on USA for funding them
Israel has been committing war crimes for its entire existence. And people have the audacity to say that Palestine started this current conflict. It’s disgusting. Jamming distress frequencies and attacking your ally? Why does our government still allow this to happen? Still support Israel?
it’s because our government is run by dual citizens.

Israel grants Intel US$3.2b for new US$25b chip plant, biggest-ever company investment in country
By Steven Scheer / Reuters
26 Dec 2023, 05:35 pm
JERUSALEM (Dec 26): Israel’s government agreed to give Intel Corp a US$3.2 billion (RM14.82 billion) grant for a new US$25 billion chip plant it plans to build in southern Israel, both sides said on Tuesday, in what is the largest investment ever by a company in Israel.
The news comes as Israel remains locked in a war with Palestinian militant group Hamas in the wake of the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel, and is a big show of support by a major US company and a generous offer by Israel’s government at a time when Washington has increased pressure on Israel to take further steps to minimise civilian harm in Gaza.
Intel shares were up 1.9% at US$48.90 in pre-market Nasdaq trading on Tuesday.
The expansion plan for its Kiryat Gat site that is 42km from Hamas-controlled Gaza is an “important part of Intel’s efforts to foster a more resilient global supply chain, alongside the company’s ongoing and planned manufacturing investments in Europe and the US”, Intel said in a statement.
Under chief executive officer Pat Gelsinger, Intel has invested billions in building factories across three continents to restore its dominance in chip-making and better compete with rivals AMD, Nvidia and Samsung. The new Israeli plant is the latest investment by the US chipmaker in recent years.
Intel plans to spend more than €30 billion (US$33 billion or RM153.08 billion) to develop two chip-making plants in Magdeburg, as part of a multibillion-dollar investment drive across Europe to build chip capacity. Berlin has pledged big subsidies to attract Germany’s biggest-ever foreign investment.
In 2022, Intel said it would invest up to US$100 billion to build potentially the world’s largest chip-making complex in Ohio, and rivals Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co or TSMC also have announced big investment plans in the US.
Israel’s finance and economy ministries said Intel’s investment, especially in this period and in light of the global competition to attract significant investments in the field of chips, is a significant expression of confidence in Israel’s economy.
They said the investment has direct fiscal benefits for Israel that will be significantly higher than the state’s grant.
“This investment, at a time when Israel wages war against utter wickedness, a war in which good must defeat evil, is an investment in the right and righteous values that spell progress for humanity,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said.
In addition to the grant that amounts to 12.8% of the total investment, the chipmaker also committed to buy 60 billion shekels (US$16.6 billion or RM76.89 billion) worth of goods and services from Israeli suppliers over the next decade, while the new facility is expected to create several thousand jobs.
Intel established a presence in Israel in 1974, and now operates four development and production sites there, including its manufacturing plant in Kiryat Gat called Fab 28 that produces Intel 7 technology, or 10-nanometre chips, and employs nearly 12,000 people in the country, while indirectly employing another 42,000 more.
At some US$9 billion, Intel’s exports account for 5.5% of total high-tech exports.
Intel, one of around 500 multinationals in Israel and which bought Israeli self-driving auto technologies firm Mobileye for US$15.3 billion in 2017, declined to say what technology will be produced at the new Fab 38 plant that Intel says construction is already begun.
In June, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Intel would build a new US$25 billion chip plant in Israel, but Intel until now had declined to confirm the investment.
The Fab 38 plant is due to open in 2028 and operate through 2035.
And THIS is why Israel thinks they can do anything they want, like in Gaza.
they can do anything they want because they control almost have complete global domination.
My great uncle died on D-Day. When I went to school I was given the impression that my country sacrificed these men to rescue the Jews from the Nazis. Not once has my family been thanked by the Jews, but instead they call us Nazis for supporting Trump.
The Polish call that “Jewish gratitude”.
Two words “ Israeli lobby “
This is not old news. The Patriarch of the Christian Orthodox Church In Israel is constantly exposing Jews attacking churches and stealing the Church’s land and building settlements on it. Can you imagine if Christians would build settlements in the areas occupied by Jews? This is a religious war. If I am wrong, the Israelis are welcome to prove me wrong buy stopping the attacks on minorities and stop building on the Church’s lands after stealing them in “court”.
Every time I hear an Israeli accent I cringe
The 4 men on the submarine made more news than this ever did
This made the nightly news, but they let Israel skate with some bullshit apology and some fine they paid with US aid money.
A1
If Israel can Kill and Mame 200+ American Soldiers and No One was ever held accountable plus it was Covered Up by both the United States and Israeli Government what do you think Israel has done to the Palestinians for Decades. I was 5 in 1967, my brother and nephew both were in the Navy and never heard about this. Is Israel really our “Friend”? I think not. It’s past time to put Israel in its place and needs to be reeled in and Charged with War Crimes.
it was in the news at the time, and then it was hushed up.
I haven’t found any information that it was in the News.
Now, on December 31, 2023, America is sick-and-tired of our federal government’s LIES, LIES, and more LIES!!!
That Liberty Crew was 100% badass and the survivors lucky. Yes, it is always better to be LUCKY than GOOD! Who don’t (sic) know that?!??!!
We’re still under attack
If you had any doubts about the brutality of the current attack on Gaza this should straighten out your opinion. Israel have got more brutal and arrogant since these events
… it’s hardly penetrates their information bubble, many are still stuck with “unprovoked” understanding of Oct 7, or babies, or hostages, or rap3s, antisemitic narrattions.
While some are blind right wingers thinking this mass annihilation is legit as the red carpet for their god’s second coming.
Add it to the very long list
you guys got me praying for america now
PLEASE RESTART THE VIDEO AT THE VERY BEGINNING….
You know they paid us for that right?
My dad was in the US navy for 30 years. I’ve never heard of this.
I learnt about the attack on tiktok. That’s why they want to ban the app.
I learnt about the attack on the clock app That’s why they want to ban it
The isrealiars plan was to sink the ship with no survivors then blame it on the Egyptians so they could get the United Snakes of Armageddon to launch a nuclear strike on Egypt and drag the US into WW3. Their jets had no insignia nor their attack boats. Al Jazeera somehow left all this out.
So they attacked just to prevent its atrocities from being exposed. What a friend indeed.
The Jewish lobbying in the USA needs to be banned. Israels interests are NOT the USAs interests. Israel is bringing the USA down!!!!
With a friend like Israel ,who needs enemies?
As a kid of one I say is a survivor..one sent from his ship with same NSA qualifications. He died. My dad. One threatened and only said it was NO ACCIDENT..but I understand his job.. he Can’t speak even more so than them.
And now. We watch a Genocide..and America provides the ammo. It makes me sick every day.
Absolutely pure evil
I will always says Israel is a hypocrite state.
disgusting Israel
support israeil more, stupid libtards, lmao
You’re ill informed. Many Republicans including Trump are big supporters of Zionist Israel. Trump is great friends with Netanyahu.
Amazing. It’s the exact same playbook that the Israel government is using today to commit war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. The exact same playbook. Direct quote at the end of this documentary… George Ball, the US Under Secretary of State, noted “It seemed clear to the Israelis that as American leaders did not have the courage to punish them for the blatant killing of American citizens, they would let them get away with anything….” Genocide & ethnic cleansing, unaltered backing of Israel at the UN and the world stage, as the US continues to supply arms to Israel, and even the Biden Administration bypassing congress to secretly deliver more civilian killing bombs to Israel. Clearly …. Israel CAN get away with anything.
Surprise surprise, Israelies.
Let us remember the Bangazi insident, where Hillary Clinton where in charge of the military Iibya.
Arkadaşlar şunu anlayın, siyonistler sadece müslümanlardan değil, hıristiyanlardan ve kendileri gibi düşünmeyen yahudiler den de nefret ediyorlar.
