At 2 in the afternoon on june the 8th with the wall reaching its climax israeli jets and moto pito boats launched an unprovoked attack on the ship they dropped napalm and strafe its decks with rockets kind in fire and armor piercing rounds before trying to sink it 2 with talk paedos. We had no way to defend ourselves and it was just were just slaughtered and a shot of the life rafts. That were put into the water and they shot i want to were still on more of a ship. Full of holes shell holes everywhere blood the focsle the front part of the ship was just red with blood. Throughout the attack the ship flies the stars and stripes the flag of israels closest ally the United States of america its name the u. S. S. Liberty is freshly painted on its stern and the bow carries the distinctive numbers of an American Naval vessel out of a crew of just under 300. 00 there were 34. 00 killed and 172. 00 injured in marion agrees to. Life threatening life debilitating injuries so that was more than 2 thirds of the crew. This audiotape which has never been broadcast before was recorded in real time by the Israeli Military during the assault the womans voice in the background is counting down the seconds it proves that israeli commandos knew all along that they were attacking an American Ship. And i am a guide. For the 1st time this and other evidence allows us to reveal the true story of what happened that day and what came after when a deadly assault by one ally and another was covered up and an american president was manipulated by the secret agents of a foreign power events that have shaped us israeli relations ever since. The United StatesNavy Memorial in washington d. C. June the 8th 2014 for every year on the anniversary of the attack on the u. S. S. Liberty survivors relatives and supporters gather together its a remembrance of those who who were killed that day the 34. On dave lucas i was in charge of the deck force i was 25. 00 my 1st child was born when i was one day out on that cruise so as long as there are survivors and and maybe children of survivors i think this will probably be an annual event. Antelope. The names of the 34. 00 killed are read out all. Right. Punctuated by the tolling of a navy bow. And the playing of taps the traditional military funeral lament. Its important to. Not forget what happened and to continue to try to find out why it happened and who made it happen. In the summer of 1967 america was in turmoil an incendiary mixture of Racial Discrimination and extreme poverty exploded into a summer over rioting in cities across the country. But one issue dominated. The vietnam war you know 10000. 00 troops would die that year the americans were trapped they couldnt leave and they could win. In the middle east to war looked inevitable there was growing tension between israel and its arab neighbors armies were mobilizing israel promised the white house they would not attack 1st but on the 5th of june they jammed radar sense of the u. S. Embassy in tel aviv so the americans couldnt detect their jets taking off to launch a surprise assault on egypt. Meanwhile the u. S. S. Liberty was sailing across the mediterranean into the war zone liberty was. The state of the our intelligence gathering vessel of the time and what we did is we listened we were listening ship my name is lloyd painter i was a Research Officer we could sent we could receive any signal that was out there low band high band anything intercepting it recording it and we did have on board some translators who could have an immediate translation of whats going on with actually bad things off the moon back to n. S. A. We were were spice im Jim Cavanaugh was a communication technician aboard the u. S. S. Liberty and i intercepted morse code were spice i mean intercepting messages from embassies military bases Police Anything and everything that we could get to ensure that the United States was comfortable what was going on in the world unknowns conspiring against us and basically goes to protect our interests. This was the cold war american president Lyndon Johnson knew that the russians already had substantial military influence in egypt he needed to find out what they were going to do next to make sure that a local conflict did not become a world war with the usa backing israel and russia siding with the arab cause i was assigned as a russian linguist aboard the ship im Bryce LockwoodUnited States marine corps retired israelis our primary purpose was to intercept communications of the russian spy or craft as it were at alexandria egypt and it was our job was to find them and we were not targeted against israelis life was very relaxing and one of the nice things about the liberty is we had air conditioning because we had Communications Equipment so we were cool in the hot days it was a very laid back very clean ship it was spotless the morale was pretty high i mean very high. By the time the liberty arrived off the coast of egypt on the 8th of june the war had just 2 days left to run israel had seized the old city of jerusalem the west bank and the gaza strip Jordanian Forces were beaten and egypt was conceding defeat only syria held out. The airwaves were dead the only voices we did get while those of israeli or hebrew were what we were hearing my name is bob wilson i worked for n. S. A. On june 8th 1967 when what we were trying to monitor find something coming from the direction of of egypt there just wasnt i think they own the skies and in our own and everything that. I dont think there was anything moving at that time that i didnt know about listening to the chatter night before knew it was American Ship that came into the area they knew who we were 5 15 am 1st light the ships log recorded an israeli photo reconnaissance plane flying over the liberty that was easily identifiable as a nor atlas aircraft and those are photo Reconnaissance Aircraft israeli records obtained by aljazeera show that they recognizance plane reported that they body as an american spy ship number g t 5 well i was on the bridge im john scott i was the damage control officer. Circled the ship kind of a broad circle and headed back towards israel israeli planes then continued to fly over the liberty all morning. And they would do half moon passes over us and we saw that they were israeli they were slowly lumbering over our ship and we were waving at them they were waving at us they were sophisticated almost as sophisticated as we were as far as surveillance and technology they had everything we supplied it with all the technology to this day. And i felt that we werent we were in great shape because they knew we were there our friends we felt safe actually was a secure feeling to see them there was one other thing which made the crew feel safe we had an American Flag flying the standard and then we put up the holiday colors which is a huge American Flag and it was a bright sunny day with the wind blowing i dont 5 or 10 knots the flag was unfurled you could see it for miles meanwhile Israeli Military jets were on their way on the real time audio tape obtained by aljazeera at 1 53 pm the pilots asked the base control about the ship. The u. S. S. Liberty was the only ship of any size in the area. The american 6th street including 2 aircraft carriers was 500 miles away oh it was a great day hello im jim smith damage control man in engineering i mean im 20 years old its a time i come from a small town you store hay bales and in a summer time for blocking our sun was shining blue sky clouds nice people sunbathing on a deck we had lunch and 5 minutes later maybe here came the jets and when nobody really knew what was happening then we started a fire. Captain said to me alert the forward gun math were under attack and i tried to raise the the 2 sailors in the forward gun mats i looked at and they were they were blown to pieces by the rocket when the attack started. And we realized that we needed help we tried to communicate with the 6th fleet they were jamming both our distress frequencies and our tactical frequencies the tactical frequencies is all right but the International Distress frequency is a violation of International Law to jam them and the israelis were jamming and we could not get a single rose heres a question i have to ask who would know the frequencies other than an ally and who is the ally in the war who was in egypt it was israel they would know and only they would know in this conflict what are frequencies would be. Now cut off from the outside world the crew on the liberty was defenseless we had for 50 caliber machine guns on board that were basically there to repel any boarders that might come by a pirate situation certainly werent designed to bring down jet aircraft that were hammering at us but you cant shoot a jet going 600 miles an hour with a 50 caliber machine gun work it was just a surreal scene people who had been standing there earlier joking and laughing were now dead dying and with the walking dead and wounded it was just unreal gasoline barrels stored on the deck of the ship burst into flames the crew rushed to try to put out the fires ma was watching the aircraft as they circled around and when they got to coming back towards the ship i just holler at him down then fire circle back around we jump back up and keep fighting fire the rocket noise was horrendous when iraq it explodes. You cant escape iraq here where you go. What the crew didnt know was that at 3 minutes past 2 days really pilots voted to use a new much deadly weapon. Debate his problem i guess from from that was the napalm which they dropped from the airplane the napalm and burn scorched almost seen tar from part of the ship the bridge area the whole tops of the ship and the fire and it was all charred it was no longer a navy grey you have to stop the fire stop the flooding to keep the ship afloat thats your home youve got nowhere else to go you cant pack up and go down the road because there is no not no road up above the Israeli Military argued about what should happen next and who should sink the liberty. Yeah. I remember thinking i was in pretty good shape and i said i think i can swim to the shore. And i thought sharks and i thought a lot of things ill call quickly you know. At 11 minutes past 2 with the israeli jets running out of ammunition the pilots were instructed to fly down and confirm the identity of the ship. It was now 12 minutes past 2 and the israeli control tower knew for certain this was an American Ship the same one its forces had 1st identified at 5 15 am that morning and then buzzed again during 7 additional reconnaissance flights throughout the day. The jets then pulled out but 3 israeli navy motor torpedo boats were already on their way. The u. S. S. Liberty was a spy ship in the event of an attack it was standard procedure for the spies on board to destroy everything just in case it fell into enemy hands everyone was destroying material everyone was. Stripping information off of computers ripping computers open pulling information out thats something you just dont want to hear aboard ship youve done all this work. Collected this intelligence and processed it and now you have to destroy it you just didnt want the enemy on to get a hold of anything classified at 235 the israeli motorboats fired 5 torpedoes for missed but one hit remember remember and remember. My mother remember. It had been over 9 hours since the Israeli Military 1st identified the liberty israeli planes had flown over it repeatedly and 20 minutes earlier the control tower had confirmed it yet again as an American Ship 25 americans were about to die in a single moment. This is what it looks like when it took paedo hits the ship the size of the liberty. The torpedo through a step in the air like a roller coaster felt like one coming down dead silence like salo smoking haze everywhere i went back to the drinking fountain and filled it with blood. Reached down to get a drink black man stared back at me. And when it fell back to get right he just kept getting wrong camp sank and sank and sank. We just waited all of us waited thinking that this was it were going down. And i figured that was the end of life for me. The top paedo had blown a huge hole in the hollow 39 feet by 24. 00 killing 25. 00 americans in a single hit the top you know hit the room that i was in and it was just luck this guy died this one live that guy that it was how much shrapnel was coming in your direction you know the Old Fashioned typewriters i had the letter h. Sticking out of my foot i had. 80 pieces of shrapnel in my lower extremities and the place filled up with water that. Totally black totally filled with. Powder. And oil it was like. Gagging and you only had about 8 or 10 inches of. Space where you could catch a breath. Only way to go in that direction most drop down and swim underwater for 5 strokes come back up and then frantically catch a breath and try to find Something Else and hold on to. I got pulled through the hatch and onto the deck others were not so lucky my friend Ronnie Campbell had a desk right there. And i remember ronnie saying you fellows can do what you want to so im going to write a letter home and he stuck a piece of paper in his mills typewriter and began typing dear eileen you wont believe whats happening to us and just seconds after that the torpedo struck and killed both the 2 moraines killed. My friend Ronny Campbell and my job was to try to get probably 20 or 30 wounded sailors out to the main deck and to the life rafts so i went up and looked at myself before i try to get a went out and thats when i observed a motor torpedo boat is really plainly marked with a star of david. Machine gunning our life raft. The crew of the liberty were now trapped on board the ship with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide the torpedo boats came and closer and began to machine gun the ship using armor piercing projectiles the armor piercing the shells that they were using were leaving holes about that big around in the
