Sorry Abu Afak, that is simply not credible, nor even believable.
So all of this had to have happened for the “official” report to be true:
1. The ship was noticed in the area, then mistakenly taken off of the tracking board.
2. The “first” IDf plane that passed through the area and exchanged pleasentries with the Liberty somehow never mentioned that they had notice the Liberty.
3. The Liberty was traveling at 5 knots, and the flag was not waving.
4. The pilots who circled the Liberty, then attacked, didn’t notice that it was Latin writing on the ship, and that they didn’t bother to ascertain the target before attacking, the Liberty was moving much more slowly then the Ad Alawi.
5. There was no radio jamming, the operators on the Liberty just decided not to radio once the attack started.
6. The mirage pilots didn’t bother to ascertain the identity of the Liberty, they just were attacking random shipping..
7. The signal light operators on the Liberty where incompetent, and did not finish their messages, the just though AA was sufficient and stopped signalling after AA
8. The torpedo boats didn’t notice the lettering on the Liberty, nor the flag, nor anything else, they were crewed by Gilligan’s and no Skippers...
And “if” there was no jamming, why didn’t the IDF’s Signit section intercept the distress call?
“Sorry’ abu afak, I think Israel is our best ally in the region, I also believe the twin attacks on the Liberty were with malice aforethought.
And “yes” I’ve read the NSA transcripts, I’ve read the fact that the NSA refuses to release all of the documentation of the event, and that there are gaps on the tapes that the IDF provided, and that LBJ and Bob McNamara basically sacrificed those men for reasons that we have yet to find out.
The torpedo runs were the final evidence for me, they can say what they will, but the actions and plain common sense speak otherwise.
1. “Mistakenly” is correct.. your word- happens in a 3 Front War.
2. Don’t know if true
3. “Flag was not waving”, again, your words.. makes it harder to see.
4. Please see the string Linked to. The Pilot first on scene to attack was looking for the Large White Cross on the Decks Of Israeli Military ships ONLY.
He didn’t see it but did note it was a Military ship— thought to be Egyptian with smoke and it coming from the al-arish area.
5. That’s their problem is it?
They HAD blown Radio Communications NOT to be anywhere near that area and neither the USA or Israel thought they were (unless this was all part of a Coverup of US spying by Liberty)
6. See #4
7. Yes.. again YOUR words— Liberty signal men incompetent.
8. Torpedo boats covered quite well in my link.
Please read it.
Most responding are just too lazy and I keep having to repeat the same thing over and over. Ridiculous. One gets shut up... another pops up with the identical red herring.
I will no longer answer questions covered in the linked string above- that does include some of YOURS.
And Baffled as to some of your points as at least 3 tend to Contradict the point you’re trying to make.
Please also see the First Pilot on scenes discussion with Jpost in the Linked string. PLEASE!
It covers some of your points.
F**king ridiculous- I’m not a damn machine for 10,000 people who are too lazy to read what I already posted.
