Do you think Israel or USA made proper amends to US killed in US Liberty Incident?

Would you be satisfied if your loved ones were wrongfully killed? We were not at war with Israel, yet they attacked... slaughtering 205 American sailors.

Incident occurred June 8, 1967... just prior to Israel attacking Syria...

This is the only incident I'm aware of between the countries... and ever since, USA and Israel are very close allies with intelligence/support. This may be a feeder root to the current middle east fiasco. Although we ally at the time as well when Israel attacked US liberty, apparently... Israel knowingly tried to sink a US spy warship, machine gun rescue boats (and people) to destroy what information they had. All of this was passed over... some families awarded 25,000 at the time. Israel came out of this incident, the strong nation they are today, with the land they now hold.

I'm not against Israel, I'm not agains the Arabs. I'm against the devil... and the devil is in this situation. The root problem... is human insecurity... that is what is causing all this bloodshed to this day... imho.

Yes that's fair, I'd accept it

No, that is so wrong

I don't know enough

In the court of public opinion, certainly not. But we don't know what happened on a diplomacy level and behind the closed doors of the involved heads of states.

the video sheds some light on that... but yes, we dont have all facts... various viewpoints.

205 slaughtered...34 dead is correct per online tally... 170+ were chopped up by bullets, burned, legs blown off, etc.. that's slaughter in my viewpoint.. but they survived. They shot up life rafts and attempted to sink the ship.

Video with multiple sources says... they knew was USA ship... and attacked it, more than once. Big American flag flying... they shot at it anyways. Intentional.

no disinformation... fact.

I think we need the answer to why and why it was covered up?

[Dargil]

What would amends accomplish. Would they annihilate Iran, which is first priority?

Israel is no one's friend. The USA is idiotic for backing them in any way.
