🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Today marks the 58th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the American naval ship 'USS Liberty' during the Six-Day War between Israel and primarily Egypt

The Israeli Air Force and torpedo boats repeatedly assaulted the ship for over an hour, killing 34 American sailors and injuring 171 others.

Israeli forces even targeted the life rafts to ensure there were no survivors, but they were unsuccessful.

Israel claimed they mistook the 'USS Liberty' for the Egyptian cargo ship 'El Quseir,' which bears no resemblance to the American vessel.

Official CIA documents indicate that the weather was clear on the day of the attack, and the ship's hull number, 'GTR-5,' along with the American flag, were prominently displayed and visible to Israeli forces.

Surviving crew members have consistently stated that they believe the attack was deliberate.

Survivor Phil Tourney has appeared on multiple podcasts and recently voiced his thoughts about the attack on social media.

And that's the end of it.

As I said, useless.

If they had any real intention of reaching Gaza, they would've made sure to be armed.

— NOTE: It's not that I doubt their intention, I'm sure they meant well.

But you gotta be extremely naive to believe that the Israelis would let you through.

In contrast, the 2010 Gaza freedom flotilla consisted of several ships and dozens of crew members — who were all determined not to get sent back, no matter what.

Some of them carried bullet proof vests or even knives, and they resisted the IDF for several hours and even managed to kidnap and nearly kill 3 of them.

Many of the crew was eventually killed, yes, but that's a sacrifice you have to be willing to make, otherwise why even start the journey? At least then it would have had an impact.
