USS Liberty: Dead in the Water (2002)

"During the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats. Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation. For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been unable to rebut it convincingly. Now, Dead in the Water uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events. Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara, former head of the Israeli navy Admiral Shlomo Errell and members of the USS Liberty crew." -imdb.com

The Liberty was a spy boat......and they weren't spying on the Sinai movement of Israel's forces? lol

-and if you are tired of supporting Israel for your own political ends - stop it.

I recognize this pattern. A collusion existed between the United States and the Israeli intelligence communities to engineer an attack on our own countrymen (under the guise of an enemy strike)... to use as a pretext for U.S. involvement in Israel's war with Egypt. Because the United States places the Israelis and Zionism above reproach, the whole truth will never be revealed... and these brave American servicemen will never get justice... so long as this fraudulent "State Of Israel" continues to eat-up our TAX MONEY ($ 3.2 Billion-A-Year, and growing). Funny how we never get any of that money back...
