I had a training course I had to attend for work and turns out my instructor was a survivor of the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel in 1967. Stayed in for lunch and he showed us a slide show of about 50 pictures as he narrated. Awesome time. |

The ship was doing its job and was were it was ordered to be.
The Govt, of Israel has agreed to pay reparations to the families but to date I dont believe they have done so. |

Israel paid compensation (NOT reparations) to all concerned in 1968 and 1969. |

Are you sure charlie? its only been in the last 10 years or so they admitted that they were involved. |

Yes. In May 1968, the Israeli government paid $3,323,500 USD in compensation to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack and in March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457 USD to the men who had been wounded. Even the most virulent conspiracy sites accept that. |
