On June 8, 1967, the USS Liberty was deliberately attacked by Israel. 40 years later the surviving crew still calls for a proper investigation.

It is now established fact that the attack on the US Liberty was intentional and was covered up by Israel and US Government officials. There has never been a congressional investigation, nor has the testimony of the majority of survivors ever been officially taken. The book "What I Saw That Day...Israel’s 1967 Holocaust of American Servicemen Aboard The USS Liberty And Its Aftermath" by USS Liberty Survivor Phil Tourney is finished and available to the public in electronic media format, at: http://thelibertyhour.podbean.com/
What I Saw That Day…Israel's 1967 Holocaust of American Servicemen:
At last, the jets realized they would not succeed in sinking us. They called off their attack and left. Before we could breathe a sigh of relief however, the voice of Captain McGonagle came over the intercom, ordering the ship’s crew to prepare for torpedo hit, starboard side.

I looked out to see the torpedo boats coming at us at a high rate of speed. Unlike the jets, the torpedo boats were proudly flying their flag, a Star of David. When I saw the flag and the high rate of speed they were coming at us, I breathed a sigh of relief. Foolishly, I assumed that our beloved ally had scared off the jets and were coming to our rescue.
The delusion lasted for only a minute until I saw the splash of several torpedoes being dropped in the water as they headed towards us. Unable to find a big enough vein during the first time with the air assault, the vampire now moved to a different part of our neck, searching out the jugular.”–Chapter 2–Rude Awakening
