On June 8, 1967, Israeli jets and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 American sailors. For decades the official story went largely unquestioned, but amid Israel’s war on Gaza the attack has ignited a bitter feud on the American right, from Ben Shapiro to Tucker Carlson and Congressman Thomas Massie, who wants Congress to reopen the case.

Through survivor testimony, declassified CIA files, and the verdicts of top US military figures who never believed it was an accident, Al Jazeera Investigates re-examines the events of that day.

On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship and lied about it. Survivors have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their story under oath to the American public. The USS Liberty Memorial web site tells their story and is dedicated to the memory of the 34 brave men who died.

In addition to the Golan Heights invasion, the U.S.S Liberty Memorial website offers two additional possible motives:

It is possible that [the Israelis] were afraid Liberty might learn and report to the United States that Israeli forces were executing up to 1,000 Egyptian Prisoners of War at El Arish at the very moment that Liberty was just 13 miles off the shore.

It is also possible that USS Liberty was attacked to prevent the ship from reporting a deliberate massacre of 14 Indian United Nations peacekeepers that took place in Gaza shortly before Israel’s attack on USS Liberty.

President Lyndon Johnson believed the attack was intentional and he leaked his opinion to Newsweek. When that sourcing was then leaked, the Israelis rallied their forces. If Johnson did not change his position they would cry “blood libel” and accuse him of gross anti-Semitism. As Bobby Ray Inman, former NSA director, put it in the video, it was “blackmail” pure and simple. If Johnson decided to run for reelection he would get nowhere when the “Jewish lobby” waged the campaign that it threatened to. One legacy of the Liberty affair is that similar coercive tactics against politicians have been employed to this day to great success.
