Dead In The Water – The Sinking of the USS Liberty

During the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats. Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation.

For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been unable to rebut it convincingly. Now, Dead in the Water uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events.

Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson’s Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara, former head of the Israeli navy Admiral Shlomo Errell and members of the USS Liberty crew.

  1. June 8, 1967. As a former U.S. Navy serviceman, I will never forget this murderous and unprovoked attack by the Israeli government, the cowardly denial by those captains of US naval ships who were in a position to render assistance to the USS Liberty and most of all, the treasonous act of President Johnson to deny aid to the sailors and Marines because of political affiliations with the country of Israel.

    Note – Johnson did it again the following year, January 23, 1968, to the crew of the USS Pueblo.

    May their souls rot forever in perdition.

  2. The key point in this video documentary is between 24 – 29 minutes into it. The point is that two US jet fighter-bombers, each carrying a 20 megaton hydrogen bomb was within 2 minutes of dropping them on Egypt for the attack on the USS Liberty, which President Lyndon B. Johnson, knew was under attack by Israel.

    This could have started WW III, for one of the two targets in Egypt was a military base that had Soviet military personnel stationed there. The other was for Cairo itself, to whip it off the map!

    This was not only covered-up by the US and Israeli governments, but the USSR also did not take it to the UN Security Council or otherwise raise hell about it. Israel got rewarded nonetheless in enormous increases in military aid by Washington, which continues to this day.

    The real question is, what else is it that we don’t know!? And I know we know Israel did 9/11 in conspiracy with the US government, again.
