Some pure facts to add to this from author Stephen Green, whose book, "Taking Sides" was raked over by the CIA who could find nothing incorrect in the book: 1) The Israeli planes were sheep-dipped in this false flag op to look like planes from Egypt. 2) Johnson said, "I'd rather see that ship sunk than embarrass an ally." (The quote may not be perfect.) 3) The Israeli pilots shot up the lifeboats. (That's a war crime.) 4) One of the lifeboats was mounted in an Israeli museum to honor the brave gunners.

Those are facts. I have seen several lies spread by Israeli after the fact to justify what happened. The USA sharing info to the Brits to help Egypt is a whopper. And it is absurd. Johnson, McNamara and McCain bowed down to Israel until the truth was exposed, then Israel came up with lies to backpaddle. First they denied it was them, then they said it was a mistake (bought by the US media), then they came up with justifications after the sailors told the truth and the ship limped into port.

I interviewed the officer of the deck and he confirmed all this. And I also interviewed Stephen Green who confirmed it. He personally saw the lifeboat in the museum. (He was Jewish btw.) And the sailor who saved the ship was also Jewish btw.

Israel attacked the USS Liberty because it was collecting data. Israel knew that was a war crime. That's why they had to sheep-dip the planes and claim that Egypt did it. The NYTs and Johnson covered for them. Don't buy into the sugarcoating. And get the book by Stephen Green if you are really curious and want the truth.

There is always more to the official narrative, and bought operatives murking up the water are the proverbial ant hill enjoying a sugar feeding. Thanks for this side of the story, Elsa. I think there is much more to Mathilde Krim that would calibrate the spy stories.
