USS Liberty receives assistance from units in the 6th Fleet after being attacked by Israeli forces off the Sinai Peninsula on June 8, 1967.
Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review June 5, 2025
It often pays, literally, to be perceived as a perpetual victim, a status that Israel and the Jewish institutional constituency have exploited relentlessly since 1945. It is now eighty years since the Second World War ended and the numbers of those receiving “holocaust” reparations from the German government hardly seems to diminish and may now include children of survivors who presumably were somehow damaged in the womb after the conflict ended and the camps in Europe were “liberated.” More than 20,000 Jews fled to Shanghai in China before and during the war, avoiding the prison camps in Europe, but they too are reported to be eligible for reparations. And then there are the still sprouting-everywhere taxpayer funded holocaust memorials and museums throughout the US even though the alleged events commemorated took place a long time ago and far away from America. Public schools and some state colleges in America are also increasingly being compelled to teach about the so-called holocaust as part of the required history syllabus, so the brainwashing will continue into the next generation.
Excuse me, but if all of the above cannot be perceived at least in part as special consideration granted to a tiny part of the US population which is admittedly hugely disproportionately wealthy and politically powerful, it begs one to provide a satisfactory explanation for the developments. The latest turn of the wheel comes in the wake of the killing of two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington DC. It is not widely known that the US Department of Homeland Security gives out discretionary grants of aid money to help provide security for nonprofit entities and groups that are perceived by the government as being threatened. The largest tranche of those grants, to the tune of more than $275 million in 2024 went to Jewish groups, monuments and buildings. A number of Jewish organizations and Israel-First congressmen are now calling for that money to be increased dramatically by an additional $1 billion. The money is justified by the much-touted claim that Jews are experiencing a surge in what is described as “antisemitism.” As many of the compilers of the statistics behind the surge are themselves Jewish groups that in some fashion benefit from the cash in hand, like the dreadful Anti-Defamation League (ADL) headed by the ghastly Jonathan Greenblatt, one might reasonably suspect that the numbers are cooked to include incidents so minor as to pass under normal circumstances. And there is also the issue of Israel itself, which is carrying out a genocide in Gaza and an occupation by Jewish settlers of what remains of historic Palestine on the West Bank. As the US government and groups like ADL define criticism of Israel as antisemitism any such commentary is rolled neatly into the statistics claiming the surge in anti-Jewish sentiment when it is really about the monstrous behavior of the Jewish state, which, in fact declares itself to be just that in law, that is, a Jewish state.
And it doesn’t all end there. There are numerous Jewish or neocon think tanks and foundations, all of which are well funded without any real need for a federal government handout to provide their security. Most of them claim to be “charitable” or “educational” to secure a tax exemption while they dig their talons deep into government in the United States at all levels down even to the state and local levels where many citizens cannot even write a letter to the editor to protest against Israel’s behavior without being denied benefits as an antisemite. Witness the recently passed antisemitism in education act in Arizona, which takes an extreme response to fear of antisemitism and makes it even more outrageous. The legislation bars public schools and public colleges from promoting what it describes as “antisemitic conduct” and creates disciplinary procedures for violations.
Worse than that, some states require applicants for jobs or benefits to sign a document confirming that they will not ever support the so-called BDS movement (Boycott, Divest and Sanction) which calls for pressuring the war criminals in Tel Aviv using economic measures. Indeed, the federal government is even worse with a national campaign against America’s universities being given alleged “credibility” by the depiction of college campuses as hotbeds of Jew-hatred even though in reality it is not about Jews per se and is rather Israel’s behavior that is arousing student anger as the mass starvation makes the piles of dead Palestinian babies continue to grow.
Israel’s perpetual victim status is part of the cover story that has been developed, most particularly in the United States, to explain away atrocities that have been carried out by the Israelis against their neighbors since and even before the founding of the state. As early as 1917 during the First World War, Britain, the colonial power in Palestine, responded to Jewish pressure from its major banking families with the Balfour Resolution, which promised a Jewish homeland. During the later post World War 2 period of the transition from British colonial rule which foresaw a division of Mandate Palestine into two separate states, Jewish terrorist groups brought pressure by assassinating British officials and soldiers and blowing up hotels and residences. They even went so far as to bomb and destroy the British Embassy in Rome!
Israel kills Americans whenever it believes there is some advantage to be gained from doing so and no presidents since John F Kennedy and George HW Bush have dared to push back to protect United States civilians and military even when major US interests are at stake. This reticence about confronting Israel has clearly been due to the widely recognized malignant power and wealth of the Israel Lobby. To cite only the most egregious killing of Americans by Israel, I would recall the June 8th, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, which killed 34 crewmen and injured 171 more. The crew’s dwindling number of survivors are this very weekend having a reunion in Norfolk Virginia.
The attack was followed by a cover-up that demonstrated clearly that at least one president of the United States named Lyndon Johnson even back nearly sixty years ago valued his relationship with the state of Israel above his loyalty to his own country. The two-hour assault on the Liberty was, in truth, the worst attack ever carried out on a US Naval vessel in peace time. It was a surprise attack which was clearly intended to destroy the intelligence gathering vessel operating in international waters collecting information on the ongoing Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The Israelis, whose planes had their Star of David markings covered up so Egypt could be blamed, attacked the ship repeatedly from the air and using gunboats from the sea. When the ship’s distress signal was received, the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga launched fighters to go to its assistance, but they were called back under orders from President Johnson. The incredible courage and determination of the surviving crew was the only thing that kept the Liberty from sinking.
The Israelis and their political and media supporters in the United States have always claimed the attack was a tragic mistake while many of the Liberty crew have indicated their firm belief that it was anything but, that the vessel was flying an oversized American flag and was clearly and easily identifiable as a US Navy vessel. The ship’s commanding officer Captain William McGonagle was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic role in keeping the ship afloat, though President Lyndon Baines Johnson broke with tradition and refused to hold the medal ceremony in the White House, also declining to award it personally, delegating that task to the Secretary of the Navy in an unpublicized presentation made at the Washington Navy Yard. The additional medals given to other crew members in the aftermath of the attack made the USS Liberty the most decorated ship in the history of the United States Navy.
The Liberty crew was sworn to secrecy over the incident and a hastily convened and conducted court of inquiry headed by Admiral John McCain acted under orders from Washington to declare the attack a case of mistaken identity. The inquiry’s senior legal counsel Captain Ward Boston, who subsequently declared the attack to be a “deliberate effort to sink an American ship and murder its entire crew,” also described how “President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered him to conclude that the attack was a case of ‘mistaken identity’ despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.” The court’s findings were rewritten and sections relating to Israeli war crimes, to include the machine gunning of life rafts, were excised. Following in his father’s footsteps, Senator John McCain of Arizona later used his position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to effectively block any reconvening of a board of inquiry to reexamine the evidence. The cover-up continues to this day. Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis is one of the most ardent Israel-firsters in national politics. He describes his state as the most “Pro-Israel” in the US. When he was a congressman representing a Florida district several retired Liberty survivors who were his constituents sought to meet with him. He turned them down. Most of the documents relating to the Liberty incident have never been released to the public in spite of the 58 years that have passed since the attack took place.
Israel famously has long sustained the doctrine that Jews are somehow chosen by God and can do no wrong when they are advancing their own interests. This belief has meant near constant warfare directed against neighbors like the Palestinians, as well as against Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Currently the Israeli government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is intent on destroying Iran’s military capabilities with the help of the United States of America. Netanyahu has argued repeatedly for over twenty years that Iran is on the verge of building a nuclear weapon, which would threaten both Israel and the region, but both the CIA and even Mossad agree that there is no such development being pursued on the part of the Iranian government. Ironically, Israel is the only country in the Middle East region that is “nuclear.” It has a substantial secret arsenal consisting of 200-300 nuclear bombs that was obtained illegally by theft from the United States. JFK may have paid a price for his temerity when he tried to expose Jewish groups that were acting as fronts for the Israeli government while also stopping the nuclear development and disarming them. I am not aware of any American politician having ever challenged Israel’s secret nuclear arsenal publicly and it is widely believed within the federal government that to do so would be “illegal.” That is what putting “Israel First” is all about!
I am sad to observe over this USS Liberty weekend how President Donald Trump is apparently crawling to Netanyahu and his murderous associates, just like his predecessor in office Genocide Joe Biden. The US has again in the UN Security Council vetoed an otherwise unanimous vote to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, supporting Israel but no conceivable US or even humanitarian interest. Instead of taking the relatively simple step to contact Netanyahu and tell him that he must end the slaughter of the Palestinians using weapons, money and political cover all provided in abundance by Uncle Sam or face the consequences immediately. No more money, weapons and visits from pathetic grifter Senators like Lindsey Graham. In fact it might be a good thing to suggest to Bibi that he-she Lindsey just might be tried for treason as he is interfering illegally with US foreign policy in both Gaza and Ukraine. But we will save that story for another time, maybe next week!

The American government, Just as ‘peace’ weak as the Brit gov’. !
Our lot have made nothing of the attack on the King David Hotel fiasco either.
Treacherous people in government positions, ON GOING in BOTH nations.
Ridiculously apathetic, all of us.
never forget the king david hotel bombing
british people at the hotel bombed by dirty jews who tried to blame others
The london jew emanual valence was part of the stern gang
he confessed then the israeli premier menachem begin
was a serial kidnapper rapist and killer of small arab boys
emanual valence took police to where a series of small childrens bodies was buried
almost 20 in all
Menachem begin was jimmy savilles first protector
when princess diana said she was taking her anti land mine campaign to palestine she was told if you do,
there will be a car accident
Tony Blair assisted with rothschild
and the jews killed her
Malcolm the poof malcolm rifkind was taped talking to david cameron about it
jews got us into 2 world wars and are now trying for a third one
Indeed and not to mention the many more who perished for IsraHELLS war agendas. Someday maybe enough wake up???
Following the Baby Boomers, Generation X (Gen X) emerged, encompassing individuals born from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. This generation is often characterized by its adaptability and independence, having grown up during a time of significant societal change, including the rise of technology and shifting family dynamics.Next in line is Generation Y, commonly known as Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996. This generation is marked by its comfort with technology and a strong emphasis on social issues, often seeking meaningful work and experiences over traditional career paths. The most recent cohort, Generation Z (Gen Z), includes those born from 1997 to 2012. Known for their digital fluency and activism, Gen Z is shaping the future with their unique perspectives on identity, culture, and the economy. Following them is Generation Alpha, born from 2013 onwards, who are expected to be the most technologically immersed generation yet.
Instead of blaming ‘Boomers’ for everything wrong with America, it’s time for the other generations to step-up and expose the work of corrupt Jews in the US by nation-loving American firster’s.
Sure thing… just as long as “America remembers” all the dead & dismembered it left in the wake of its “Wars for Israel” in the SAME vicinity over the years..
Be careful when you ally yourself with & fight on the side of ghouls (Jews) sometimes these ghouls will turn on you and sacrifice you to Yahweh. (i.e, soldiers on US Liberty; King David Hotel bombing etc).
Believe it or not, but a local NYC radio station news broadcast around 6 or7 pm that evening, when reporting the attack on the USS Liberty, reported that ISRAEL DID IT! “by mistake,” of course!). Two nights later, the same radio station reported that “Egypt did it.” Several years ago, Al Jazeera did an excellent documentary on this, saw on TV. And in 2011, the Israeli media finally reported that indeed it was Israel that did it. But “Christian” Zionists continue to “bless Israel”…what an insult to the victims as well as the survivers!
Many people don’t grasp the enormous significance and implications of the USS LIBERTY attack by treacherous Israel.
This was an act of war, and the superpower attacked not only did not retaliate but also covered up.
So what is the significance and why is it so big?
The USA, who is the attack dog of Israel, rolled over and played dead.
It only stopped short of saying: “thank you, master, for the kick on the arse”
Astounding and revealing.
Jews flooded into he USA from the Nineteenth Century, and that Jew country has occupied Europe since 1945
This stuff will be directly related to the death of Princess Diana.While the jew controlled media keeps on attacking Prince Harry infact he is the innocent party…. this COULLD be related to the publicity given to Harry wearing a swastika covered shirt at one time.??.
Of course virtually all figures mentioned here are crypto jews including the idiot Trump ……..
Will the jews ever be held to account…..not unless things change…..George Patton was of course killed by these murderous fiends…. etc etc.
Zimbabwe to cull 50 elephants, and distribute meat to locals
A Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority ranger carries a dart gun for elephants in the Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, Tuesday, April 29, 2025.
A cull is necessary as the land cannot support the numbers, and the elephants are starting to fight over
whats left
The british government should adopt this culling programme with migrants and jews
At this point, any one who doesn’t know is either never going to know because they’re unwilling to even try to learn or else they’re part of it. The jew owns and controls the world. They want you dead. They want your country dead. They want your culture, history, religion and way of life dead. Most are complicit and are to all intents and purposes your enemy. All should be exterminated. I don’t know anyone who shouldn’t be killed.
The IDF’s reputation for gallantry didn’t end with USS Liberty; it continues to this day. Netanyahu has threatened to unleash the full force of his air and naval power against little Greta’s humanitarian relief boat if it as much as dares to approach the coast of Gaza. Only God’s chosen people could summon up courage like that.
Amalek
i love these faggy sounding names the Yids invented for each new generation of cattle
@ Machiavelli
U.S. marine barracks bombing in Beirut, Lebanon in 82, another good example
if you’re dumb enough to join the army of some jew governed nation– don’t be surprised when they sacrifice you to Yahweh
I consulted CJ and now I know it wasn’t Jews who attacked the US Liberty, but Nazis Nazis…
He just didn’t say it publicly because of a certain risk of enraging Nazi Amerika and ending up hung on the nearest lamp post..
My Christian Zionist friends can now sigh in relief and continue worshipping Jews and Israel ..
In 2018 I attended the ‘Ship That Won’t Sink’ seminar in Sequin Tx, sponsored by Republic Broadcasting Network and John Stadtmiller the host. I met the two survivors, Phil Tourney and Dave Gahary along with other speakers, including Christopher Bollyn. The survivors of the disgraceful attack did clearly point out, the Israeli forces were extremely aware of the USS Liberty but it was obvious the Israelis wanted to destroy the ship and put the blame on Egypt. This was just one of the disgusting false flags executed by the obviously insane Israelis and their sponsors, the Khazarian Mafia.
@ GLENN ASHTON
somewhere I read that King David bombing had
also the aim to get rid of all land registries from
otoman times .
president kennedy insisted on sending nuclear inspectors into dimona
after several big radiation leaks
so the jews killed him
mordichia vanunnu was the israeli who spoke out about how dangerous the nuclear plant at dimona was
STUXNET
the israelis devised stuxnet with which to attack iran
but it went rogue and destroyed japan
Japan asked for compensation ot at least some financial help
israel said we will go to wat rather than pay compensation, and we may send in the americans again to bomb you

Freedom Flotilla Coalition says ship’s communications were jammed after Israeli defence minister threatened to ‘take all necessary measures’ to prevent the humanitarian ship from reaching Gaza.
The ship was boarded at gunpoint and some crates of food thrown in the sea
israel’s defence minister says Madleen passengers will be shown video of israel allowing in the 7 October attacks
05:54
Israel’s defence ministers, Israel Katz, has congratulated the Israeli army on the “quick and safe takeover” of the Madleen , the Gaza-bound aid vessel.
Confirming that the passengers onboard – including climate activist Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan – will be transported to the port of Asdod, Katz added that he had instructed the IDF to “show the flotilla passengers the video of the horrors of the Holocaust, the palestinians must starve for this he said
If some weirdy beardy bit the end of your cock off, you’d want to be pogrommed too haha
As for the women, they’re soo f’ugly, the guys would rather hump a wall!
Golda Meir… Ffs is that a cross between a wildebeest & a tranny?
The stolen land of Israel should have been carpet-bombed into smouldering oblivion and the Jew jackals within incinerated immediately following the attack on the Liberty. Then after their mass-murder of 9/11, the shit-hole nuked into a glowing glass pit and every Talmudist and Chabadnik rounded up and either hanged or exiled to a remote island with any contact with the outside world strictly forbidden.
@bibble
couldnt agree more regarding those “facially challenged” Juice females
but – to give credit where it’s “jew” – some of them have had – on more than one occasion! – the biggest damn tits I’VE ever “come” across!😂
And, if you happen to be reading this Sarah: Thanks for The Mammaries!! 😊
Knew a guy that worked at a lumber yard I would frequent. His father was on the USS Liberty.and confirmed that crew was threatened with court martial if they talked about incident.
