On June 8, 1967, Israeli jets and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 American sailors. For decades the official story went largely unquestioned, but amid Israel's war on Gaza the attack has ignited a bitter feud on the American right, from Ben Shapiro to Tucker Carlson and Congressman Thomas Massie, who wants Congress to reopen the case. Through survivor testimony, declassified CIA files, and the verdicts of top US military figures who never believed it was an accident, Al Jazeera Investigates re-examines the events of that day. #israel #unitedstates #history #ussliberty #cia #investigation
