Thanks for posting. I have never seen these pictures before.
This ship, pockmarked with shell holes from our attacking Jewish allies in 1967, looks very much like American ships attacked by our Japanese enemies in 1941 at Pearl Harbor. There is one interesting difference: the Japanese attack was designed to sink ships while the Jewish attack was launched to kill the US crew and eliminate any witnesses. |

Cain thank you for posting the article.
I was as of yesterday contemplating the incident that occurred in the late sixties. I was a high school senior about to graduate and the news hit the streets. Our "friends", the Israelis, had strafed one of our ships despite the best efforts of our navy to let them know that we presented no harm. The strafing continued and the incident has not been forgotten. At the time I thought, " My God even our "allies" hate us. Then President Lyndon Johnson, swept all facts under the rug and continued on with his Vietnam War. Last edited by Eagle1; 06-09-2011 at 10:17 AM. |
