A US official has told ABC News that the US has launched about 750 airstrikes on Yemen since March 15, a relentless bombing campaign that has failed to deter the Houthis and has taken a heavy toll on civilians.
US airstrikes hit multiple provinces in Yemen on Thursday, with at least three people wounded by US attacks in the morning that hit the capital, Sanaa, and the northern Saada province. US airstrikes on Thursday night were reported in the provinces of Marib, Sanaa, and Amran.
The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, are known for their resilience, having survived a US-backed Saudi/UAE war from 2015 to 2022, which involved heavy airstrikes, a ground campaign, and a blockade. The Yemeni group was also not deterred by a US-UK bombing campaign conducted under President Biden from January 2024 to January 2025.
The only thing that was able to stop Houthi attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping was the Gaza ceasefire that went into effect on January 19. After Israel violated the deal by imposing a blockade on humanitarian aid and all other goods entering Gaza, the Houthis announced they would re-impose their blockade on Israeli shipping. It was in response to that announcement that the US began bombing Yemen again.
Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday that the new US bombing campaign has failed to impact Yemeni military capabilities and that a blockade was in effect for Israeli and US shipping in the Red Sea.
“The ships of the Israeli enemy, along with the Americans, have become completely absent in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, and there is no navigational activity of the Israelis and Americans at all, but there is a complete halt,” al-Houthi said, according to Yemen’s SABA news agency.
Al-Houthi also pointed to the fact that Yemeni air defenses have taken out multiple US MQ-9 Reaper drones, which are worth $30 million each, downing seven in the month of April alone. The Houthis have also continued to launch missile and drone attacks on Israel and on US warships in the region.
The US has been bombing Yemen using two aircraft carriers in the region and B-2 bombers stationed at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The Pentagon has shared virtually no details about its war, which has not been authorized by Congress, but it’s likely the bombing campaign has already cost billions in just over one month.
A senior member of Ansar Allah’s political bureau has said the Houthis would stop attacks on US warships if the US stopped bombing Yemen, but there’s no sign the US is considering the offer since the campaign is really about ensuring Israel can continue its genocidal war on Gaza.
More propaganda from antiwar news. When someone attack us, it is our job to make they can never attack us again, or pay a monstrous price every time.
Remember the Liberty, motherfuсkеr!
The Liberty was a friendly fire incident.
In the immortal words of Capt. William Loren McGonagle..
“Go to hell you bastard!”
Why do you put yourself in these positions. For the sake of argument let's say that's true. Admit that Israel spies on the US, stole nuclear material, exploits its democracy in Congress, instigates America to fight its wars and at the end of the day has little respect for it. Once you can acknowledge facts for what they are, people may begin to listen to your point of view. Otherwise, you and your friends posting here become fodder for anyone who stumbles upon these comments and walks away with the worst impression of what you have to offer.
Why do you put yourself in these positions.
For 30 pieces of silver, standard pay for the act betrayal.
unfortunately for him
Hey, quick question to that allusion – which of the two different ways the Gospels describe Judas's death (he hung himself AND he was walking in his field, tripped & fell, hit his head & his guts fell out) was correct ?
We avoided theology before; but your defense of a criminal syndicate was so indifferent and amoral, I have to wonder if you further subscribe to biblical inerrancy & full Christian Apologetics in addition to RCC Apologetics.
On the topic of (potentially) irrational interlocutors, I have to go tell f**king jakesqueek here that I'm Blocking his dishonest worthless a$$ & why.
Lol… all too true for so many
The Liberty was not even supposed to be in area of the fighting,
These ignorant people that claim Israel purposely attacked the US, cannot name one benefit that Israel would have derived from that attack.
The benefit doesn't matter… The fact was that Liberty was flying visible US flag when it was attacked…! That makes you ignorant…!
No, the Liberty was not supposed to be in the area of the fighting, and anyone can put up a false flag.
But nice dodge! The question was: Can you name one benefit there would be for Israel to purposely attack the US???
Remember this was the early developing relationship between Israel and the US. The USS Liberty was an intelligence surveillance ship. While President Johnson "accepted" the Israeli apology, the intelligence community and the survivors never did. Israel had a few possible motives:
1. Covering up war crimes: Prevented American or international exposure of massacres
2. Avoiding ceasefire pressure: Enabled Israel to continue military advances unimpeded
3. Drawing U.S. into war: Possibly turn U.S. military power against Egypt
4. Hiding nuclear secrets: Protected the emerging Israeli nuclear program from scrutiny
Johnson went a step further and was selling Phantom jets to Israel in 1968, only months after the six day war. What does that tell you about the US investigation?
1. What war crime? Please be specific
2. Who asked for a ceasefire on the fourth day of a six day war? Please be specific
3. The Egyptian Air Force and military were already defeated on the first day of the war. Giving Israel air superiority from day one. — Please think before you post
4. Mid-1950s: Israel's first leader, David Ben-Gurion, initiated the nuclear project.
Dimona Facility: The Dimona nuclear complex was established, according to Foreign Policy.
1963: The Dimona reactor, the IRR-2, went critical, according to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
Please think before you post.
1. Israel had killed 49 Egyptian POWs at Ras Sudr in 1956. Journalist testimony (Gabriel Bron), later confirmed by historians. So of course there was the fear Israel would do that again. And it did. In 1967 Israelis soldiers executed hundreds of POWs in the Sinai peninsula. Israeli veterans' interviews, historian investigations (Benny Morris, Uri Milstein)
2. The Six day war formally ended with a unilateral ceasefire brokered by the UN. Res. 235. There was pressue on Egypt to accept and the following couple of days Syria accepted. Of course the Israelis were going to accept because they had gained more territory than they could've of ever dreamed of. The idiots should've went on to conquer more but the US would've stopped them.
3. Listen up genius. By this time Abdel Nasser was in the Soviet sphere of influence. The fear wasn't necessarily of a strong Egypt but how the USSR could gain a foothold in the region through an Egyptian base. The US was also afraid Nasser would destabilize the pro western sellouts such as in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. In addition, Syria fought for another of couple of days. The situation was fluid at the time.
4. While it’s true that Dimona went critical in 1963, the full extent and purpose of Israel’s nuclear program were still heavily concealed from the U.S. even by 1967.
Israel engaged in active deception (including building fake walls over parts of the Dimona facility and giving misleading tours to American inspectors).
The USS Liberty — a signals intelligence ship — could have intercepted real-time Israeli communications revealing nuclear weapons development, movement, or policy decisions during the chaos of war.
Thus, Israel had a strong motive to prevent any uncontrolled U.S. intelligence gathering that could expose activities they still wanted hidden — particularly nuclear weaponization, not just reactor operation. If America wanted its buddy Israel to have nuclear weapons they would have given Israel the technology and fission. Just because the US knew Dimona existed, didn't mean they knew Israel had nukes or was building them.
In the 1960s, Israel stole uranium and nuclear technology from the U.S., notably through:
The NUMEC case (Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation in Apollo, Pennsylvania):
About 200 pounds of highly enriched uranium disappeared from this U.S. facility.
Later investigations (including by Seymour Hersh in The Samson Option) strongly suggested it was diverted to Israel.
Israel also used espionage to obtain nuclear weapon design information.

The area of the fighting was on land, not in international waters.
Israel was on a mission to grab more lands, to complement what was stolen in 1948, and did not want the U.S. listening ship to hear what they were doing.
ISRAEL IS NOT OUR FRIEND!
In case you did not know, prior to 1967 there was not one Israeli settlement in the West Bank or Gaza. Therefore settlements were not an issue. Gaza were occupied by Egypt who controlled the waters, and the West Bank was occupied by Jordan.
ISRAEL has been an ally for a long time, providing a counterweight to Soviet influence in the region during the long Cold War, also providing a strategic American foothold in the region as well as intelligence and advanced technological partnerships. — Please think before you post again.
Israel is a strategic liability.
Hamas has no strategy and they will not surrender, so Israel must finish them, or the cycle of terrorist violence will continue, like it does in dozens of countries.
The purpose of the attack was to blame it on Egypt and draw the US into the war. Case closed.

Johnson had the Navy jet fighters enroute to take on the Israelis called back. He said "he did not want to embarrass an ally".
Johnson went a step further and was selling Phantom jets to Israel in 1968, only months after the six day war. What does that tell you about Johnson after the US investigation?
And what does all this have to do with the Houthis?
1. It tells you he bet on the wrong horse.
2. In addition, to the Palestinian resistance, the Houthis are humiliating Israel by not backing down in the face of a genocide while they are the weakest country to take on Israel.
They are not taking down anyone. If Yemen, who get their military assists and training from Iran starts to kill innocent Israelis, Israel will have to respond like they have with their terrorist neighbors.—-But like those others who perform the religious obligation of holy war against the non-believers, they don't consider the consequences.
http://UNHCR.org : Over 80 percent of the population live below the poverty line. 18.2 million people in Yemen are now in need of humanitarian assistance and protection services.–Mar 27, 2025
Yemen primarily receives humanitarian assistance from the United States, according to Amnesty International. Other major donors include the United Kingdom, the European Commission.
1. Unlike genocidal Israel, Yemen and the Palestinian resistance have shown over and over again that they avoid targeting "civilians."
2. Israel has been exhausted in Gaza. With all of its deaths, injuries, PTSD, suicides, psychological trauma and failure to achieve its war objectives and release the captives, its better to avoid fighting Yemen who as you say is so poor that it has nothing to lose.
3. And if its true that Yemen receives mot of its humanitarian aid from the ones who are bombing it, then they are idiots. Either bomb or give food. Look at Israel. It said we will bomb but won't give food. They are good little genociders. No guilty consciences there.

Houthis do not even avoid civilians in their own Country. Just look at the cost to the Yemeni people. Clean up your own backyard.
I don't think the Houthis are good for their people. But for other reasons. And sure Yemen needs to clean up its own house. However, that doesn't excuse Israel's genocide or for the need of Israel to clean up its own backyard.
Johnson went a step further and was selling Phantom jets to Israel in 1968, only months after the six day war. What does that tell you about the US investigation?

I already answered your questions.
"Johnson went a step further and was selling Phantom jets to Israel in 1968, only months after the six day war. What does that tell you about the US investigation?"
Actually by this question you unwittingly trigger further American hatred of Israel. Through this, Americans can come to learn the beginnings of the unholy alliance with Israel and how it developed. Johnson was a sellout to Israel. The Israeli performance in the war accelerated American support for it. Unfortunately for Israel that support now produces nothing but diminishing returns at an accelerated rate.
As Israel slaughters innocents, Hamas has recently been sniping and ambushing Israeli soldiers everywhere in the Strip. To add insult to injury, they recently saved one of the captives from an Israeli bombing of the tunnel he was held in. These Israelis are a failure at accomplishing genocide, they can't free their captives and they only partially succeeded in trying to kill all of them. They're on the verge of civil war and the world is turning against them.

Israel's biggest foes were Egypt and Jordan and they kept the peace with Israel ever since and they are trading parters.
JERUSALEM, March 5 (Reuters) – Israel's natural gas exports to Egypt and Jordan surged by about 13.4% in 2024, despite the country's war with Hamas in Gaza.
Can you name an Arab Country that supports Hamas' methods????
Egypt banned Hamas and branded it a terrorist organization.
Jordan banned Hamas in 1999. In 2013, Jordan rejected requests to allow Hamas to return.
Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah disagree and were fighting with each other in recent Syrian civil war (Sunni/Shiite conflict).
Syria says- Hamas is an uninvited guest
Saudi Arabia says they will arrest Hamas members on the spot
Egypt maybe, but Jordan was constructed as a buffer zone to protect Israel. The Hashemites have always been sellouts.
Of course all the corrupt Arab regimes are against Hamas. When Israel falls, guess who will fall with it? The dumb Arab regimes that backed Israel thinking it was superior.
Yes exports surged because Jordan was feeding Israel through Saudi Arabia.
Oct. 7th utterly exposed Israel as weak, genocidal and a paper tiger. it can't defend itself without America and its European backers.
And all the terrorist groups in the area would not exist if not for training, supporting, funding, and military assets provided by Iran.
ALL the terrorist groups? Last time I noticed, Iran did not train, support, fund, or provide military assets to the IDF.
Actually that's not true. Hamas has been around since 1987. It accepted Iranian financial support because the so called sunni regimes have been traitors. The resistance has always raised money from the people. As long as the occupation exists, the resistence will exist and grow.
“It accepted Iranian and Israeli financial support”
Fixed, no charge.
And it accepted that support to gain and hold power (for 18 years since the last election, in the face of growing Palestinian opposition that it goaded Israel into coming in and putting down for it).
To be specific Israel allowed the Qataris to bring money to Hamas. Actually I am quite confident that the next time Palestinians have elections, Hamas will do quite well. At that time I'll be happy to explain to you internal Palestinian politics and trends.
How the f*ck do you know?
The area of the fighting was on land, not in the ocean, in international waters.
the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship under the dual control of the Defense Intelligence Agency/Central Intelligence Agency and the Sixth Fleet, was assigned to monitor the fighting. As a result of a series of United States communication failures, whereby messages directing the ship not to approach within 100 miles were not received by the Liberty, the ship sailed to within 14 miles off the Sinai coast. The Israelis mistakenly thought this was the ship shelling its soldiers.— 10 US investigations.
The Liberty was in international waters. Case closed.
@peepsqueek and his ilk are still riding on the "hasbara is working" high. No one believes it any more.
Candace Owens did her own research and has been exposing the attack to millions.
@peepsqueek doesn't realize that Americans are turning on Israel. When they realize the half of the lies, it will be devastating for Israel and its supporters.
Yet this article is about Yemen and see no criticism about Houthis attacking ships in international waters, purposely and with intentent.
The Red Sea is considered international waters, especially the main shipping lanes and areas beyond the territorial waters of coastal nations.
The question remains– Why would Israel knowingly attack the US? What benefit?
Jonathan Pollard. Spied on the U.S. for Israel.
Upon his return to Israel, he was greeted as a hero.
Producer, Arnon Milchan, has admitted to have spied on the U.S. for Israel and has said he would do it again. Still produces movies, his latest, I believe, is the movie with Tom Hardy, The Bike Riders.
Sorry to hear that, I really liked The Bikeriders, Tom Hardy made up for his awful Mad Max sequel.
Hardy’s a damn good actor. I wouldn’t blame him for the quality of the Mad Max sequel. It was just a movie that shouldn’t have been made. Can’t blame him for taking work where he finds it.
I thought he stole the show in the Bikeriders. It was obviously intended as an Austin Butler showcase, but Hardy anchored it.
Yes, I totally had Hardy wrong about him as an actor. Later I saw his dual performance in Legend, the London Gangster flick. It took me awhile to realize it was the same guy playing both brothers!
The guy has range.
He and Charlize Theron did not get along.
Yes, and those 15 medical workers dug up from that shallow grave were murdered because of "professional failures". /s
Using bulldozers to scarf up the bodies and bury them, along with the vehicles.
No way men with shovels could have buried the vehicles. Bulldozers were used, probably the same type that crushed Rachel Corrie.
Huh, yeah – and Pol Pot just had some unique ideas for urban redevelopment.
F**k off with these false ASI Apologetic tropes.
There was no "friendly fire" when men in life boats and in the water were machine gunned by Israeli torpedo boats and Israeli gets.
The Liberty was flying the American flag.
The day before the attack, the Liberty was buzzed by Israeli jets, the pilots wagging the wings at the sailors.
One of the pilots refused to attack and was reprehended when he returned to the base.
When one of the pilots told home base that the ship was American, was flying the American flag, he was told to attack it anyway.
So, f*ck that "friendly fire" bullsh*t.
You’re right: There wasn’t any friendly fire when men in life boats and in the water were machine gunned by Israeli torpedo boats and Israeli jets.
The reason you’re right about that is because there weren’t any men in life boats and in the water to BE machine gunned by Israeli torpedo boats and Israeli jets.
That simply never happened. And you’ve been informed of that multiple times. So why do you continue to lie about it?
I have read reports that indicated the Israeli gun boats and aircraft fired at life boats as they were in the water.
On one episode of Judging Freedom, with Judge Napitolano, guest Lt. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson stated flatly that men and life boats were targeted.
I would think that due to the positions he held in the military, as well as being assistant for General Powell, being privy to information available to military officers at his level and experience would hold water.
I do not like the idea that you, of all people, would come to the defense of Israel in the matter.
The next time you see me come to the defense of Israel in the matter will be the first time — and there won’t be a first time.
But they did what they did, not whatever you happen to fantasize they did.
But you did not read the 10 US investigations that came after that. — Do some research before you keep up your ignorant tirade, when this article is about the Houthis and Yemen.
American Investigations

Conclusion
U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry
June 10-18, 1967
The attack was a case of mistaken identity. Calm conditions and slow ship speed may have made American flag difficult to identify. No indication the attack was intended against U.S. ship.

No premeditation, but "inexcusable failures" by Israeli forces constituing "gross negligence."
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
1967
Secretary of Defense McNamara testified he supported conclusion that the attack was not intentional.
Senate Armed Services Committee
Feb. 1, 1968
No conclusion. Secretary McNamara makes comparison of attack on Liberty to that on Pueblo with regard to uncertainty about what was happening at the time of the incident.
House Appropriations Committee
April-May 1968
Navy communications "foulup" and no conclusion regarding Israeli actions. Much of report remains classified.
House Armed Services Committee
May 10, 1971
Critical of Navy communications, no conclusion regarding Israeli actions.
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
1979
Responding to critical book by Liberty crewman James Ennes, Senate investigation found no merit to his claim attack was intentional.
National Security Agency
1981
Liberty was mistaken for an Egyptian ship as a result of miscalculations and egregious errors.

The attack was made "neither maliciously nor in gross negligence, but as the result of a bona fide mistake. Also notes that the Liberty made a mistake as well by carelessly approaching a war area.
Preliminary Inquiry
July 1967
There was no malicious intent and no deviation from the standard of reasonable conduct that would justify a court-martial.

The attack was a result of an "innocent error."
I answered this. Stop pretending there was any independent or publicly commissioned investigation to satisfy anybody that it was anything but premeditated murder.
Put the little turd on ignore. If I could do it, anyone can.
Yes but I still enjoy educating those who come later.
Nice dodge! You have provided nothing. If anyone in the public sector had any contradictory evidence to any of these US investigations, our massive free press would be more than happy to expose it and people like yourself would have posted it by now.
How and why would Israel "premeditate" the appearance of a ship that was not supposed to be within a hundred miles of its location in the middle of six day war.— Please think before you post again!
"…our massive free press…"
Lol.
The US inherited British colonial holdings. They were already heavily involved in the Middle East by that time. Of course they would be up Israel's nose as well.
Also, feigning Israeli innocence doesn't help your case. No one believes what Israel says or the apologists for it.
What's too bad for Israeli hasbara is that as you post propaganda here trying to convince educated readers of nonsense, Candace Owens (just an example) after doing her own research has convinced millions of mostly Americans that Israel attacked the USS liberty on purpose nearly 60 years on. You're up against a losing campaign.
Israel lies by its nature. It has been lying since 1948 through 1967 and is still lying about Oct. 7th where it was humiliated to near collapse. It killed its own people on that day. How may? We won't know because it doesn't allow for independent investigations. All its claims are being debunked by Israeli journalists and others every day.
We have a right, left, centrist, independent, and foreign press covering everything we do.
While you are busy with your phony laughter, please provide any contradictory evidence to anything I have posted.
Who is the "we" you are referring to? Are you an American, an Israeli? I have responded to all that you have posted. Claiming Israel didn't intentionally attack the USS Liberty because non independent "investigations" said so, doesn't change the reality. For example, no one believes anything Israel says about what's happening in Gaza, not only because they are lying but because they don't let independent journalists into the Strip. There goes Israel's democratic support of a free press.
You respond without answering. And "we" meaning the USA.
The attack on the USS liberty was an intent crime. Israel says it's an accident. Israel has no moral standing because it has a history of lying and doing many many covert actions. Israel is committing a genocide but is denying it. No one believes it when it says something. These political investigations don't establish the truth of what happened.
Easy to be brave from behind your computer. Only a coward try to deflect in that manner.
Easy to attack a virtually unarmed ship in international waters with jet aircraft and torpedo boats, shoot life rafts and use napalm on desperate men trying to save their ship.
Now THAT is cowardly.
And if you want me to say that to your face, just name the time a place, [guidelines-violating slur removed by moderator – TLK].
Nice deflection! Got to back to an isolated innocent made in the fog of war, 8 decades ago. In which Israel acknowledged their mistake and paid full reparations.
And then you are still trying to be brave from behind your computer to cover for your ignorance.
"Fog of war"?
When pilots are told to attack an "ally", a clearly identifiable "ally"?
I am asking you again: what is your major at university?
How many students partake in typing nonsense for shekels?
They were told to attack a ship, as the Liberty was not supposed to be within 100 miles of the fighting. —- I posted the US inventions that came after. You only have to read them.
Probably @peepsqueek his/her major is zionist propaganda at Prager University.
O peepsqueek its going to be so bad as Americans start learning about Israeli lies starting 8 decades ago. They saw what was happening after Oct 7th. Concluded that it was a genocide, and now Israel's legitimacy is falling apart as Americans uncover the Nakba, Israel's attacks on its neighbors, the bombing of the USS liberty and on and and on….
The 2019 Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) had reported ahead of the 71st anniversary of the 1948 war that the number of Palestinians has increased by nine times since 1948. – That is not the definition of a holocaust or a genocide, or the ever popular “ethnic cleansing”!
Two million Palestinian Arabs live in Israel proper as citizens on land that hypocritical activists say is ethnically cleansed.
Not even a nice try. Genocide is a crime of intent. The fact that Israel fails ultimately at everything it undertakes does not absolve it of the crimes it commits. Using this logic we can say the Holocaust was not genocide because Hitler didn't succeed in wiping out the tribe.
Don't even try to compare the holocaust with Gaza. The people in the holocaust did not have any choices, and they did not fire tens of thousands of rockets into Berlin, or round up hundreds of German hostages s of all ages, or massacre a bunch of Germans at a beer fest to get the ball rolling. Hamas has had 19 months to stop what they initiated on Oct 7th.
I just saw one of those Jewish Holocaust scholars say they were floored to see the Nazi record and how the Israelis are doing the same things in Gaza that the Nazis did. Some say its even worse because they do it openly where the Nazis tried to hide what they were doing.

Whatever the Nazis were doing – it wasn’t THAT!
I will second that.
Easy for you to hammer away on your keyboard at university to earn shekels to pay for your education.
What is your major?
When you have no answers, you just make personal attacks. If you had any contradictory evidence to anything I have posted, please provide it to the readers.
Oops, I made the comment I made to Tim Burms here. Sorry.
The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was a grievous error, attributable to the fact that it occurred in the midst of the confusion of a full-scale war in 1967, that Israel was winning.
Ten official United States investigations and three official Israeli inquiries have all conclusively established the attack was a tragic mistake. Israel apologized for the tragedy immediately and offered on June 9 to compensate the victims.
Israel ultimately paid nearly $13 million in humanitarian reparations to the United States and to the families of the victims in amounts established by the U.S. State Department. Adjusted for inflation, $13,000,000.00 in 1967 is equal to how much money in 2025?
Can you name one benefit that Israel would have derived from attacking the US? Please do not dodge the question
Coverup of war crimes… Murder of Egyptian POWs at al Arish, 10 nautical miles East from where you pigs stabbed us in the back.
No witnesses.
Nice dodge! The question was: Can you name one benefit that Israel would have derived from attacking the US? Please do not dodge the question
To prevent it from listening in on the conversations as the land grab and the executions were under way.
Basically, to sink the ship.
Asked and answered, now STFU!
"Ten official United States investigations…"
They were mostly limited internal military reports, not full independent public investigations.
Examples include:
Navy Court of Inquiry (1967):
➔ Very limited scope (only 8 days), survivors weren’t allowed to testify freely, important evidence (e.g., Israeli communications) wasn't reviewed.
➔ The court was explicitly ordered not to assign blame.
CIA Reports (1967-1970):
➔ Mostly intelligence assessments, not formal investigations. Some of them actually suggested the attack was likely deliberate, but wording was softened in public versions.
House Armed Services Committee (1971):
➔ Only a brief review of the Navy’s report; no new witnesses called.
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (1979):
➔ A review of classified material — again no new testimony from Liberty crew.
NSA Reports (2001):

The Liberty crew only knows the immediate attack. The investigations showed as result of a series of United States communication failures, whereby messages directing the ship not to approach within 100 miles were not received by the Liberty, the ship sailed to within 14 miles off the Sinai coast. The Israelis mistakenly thought this was the ship shelling its soldiers.— 10 US investigations. —- Read them
If you have any contradictory evidence, please post it for the readers.
Can you name one benefit Israel would have derived from attack the US four days into a six day war that Israel was handily winning?
Asked and answered. Israel was built on ethnic cleansing and dispossession of the Palestinians. It maintains a facade that it itself doesn't believe in so don't expect others to buy into lies. Israel benefits from chaos. However, now that chaos is turning on Israel.
There are 22 Arab States and the banner of Islam flies over 99.9% of the Middle East and North African land mass. Some people (you) are just pisssed of that it is not 100%. At least be honest about that.
What you say doesn't make much sense. Assuming that's true, do you believe the 1% should espouse ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid, colonial settler dominance over the 99%? Israel is a cancer in the region. The tribe is welcome to live in the region, but not at the expense of the region.
There is not ethnic cleansing or genocide, just a response to terrorists and terrorism on a regular basis. Oct 7th was the last straw.
Obviously not the last straw because Israel still can't kill its hostages or get them back. Or defeat the resistance. The occupier determines whether and how violence will be employed, nit the occupied. End the occupation and the violence will end.

To prevent it from listening in on the illegal land grab under way.
Please be very specific.
From the US Navy's own timeline: 8 June—0250: Commander, U.S. Navy Europe’s (CINCUSNAVEUR) duty officer received phone instructions from the Joint Reconnaissance Center directing Liberty to comply with Commander, Sixth Fleet’s (COMSIXTHFLEET) 100-mile operating area restriction.
The Liberty violated that restriction because they did not receive that communication.
"We" attacked them first. Take a look. Read a book.
No, were not at war with Yemen, although there were some counter terrorism attacks and you remember on October 12, 2000, the USS Cole was attacked in Aden Harbor, Yemen, by suicide bombers affiliated with al-Qaeda and killed 17 sailors and wounded 39 others. Hence more counter terrorism attacks.
The USS Cole was in Yemen for a scheduled refueling stop on October 12, 2000, while en route to the Arabian Gulf. It was a routine fuel stop.
We encouraged and supplied intel for the Saudis to attack Yemen for 10 years.
Ten years!
The perpetrators of the suicide bombing of the Cole were determined to have been Sudanese, not Yemenis.
They were al Qaeda operating freely in Yemen. Is there a reason you support terrorist organizations?
What is your cultural heritage and what Country to you live and raise you family? If it is in the US, then you are quite the hypocrite.
"the USS Cole was attacked in ADEN Harbor," (emphasis added) fuel stop or no fuel stop. America has mostly been an enemy of the people of the Middle East from overthrowing Mosaddeq in the 50's until today's genocide of Palestinians.

Yeah, bomb the hell out of their civilians.
That is what nuclear weapons are for, nothing else but to destroy civilians, and national real estate, and mineral resources, and to build hotels and golf courses for Martians the people from Mars, Musk will sell the tickets to them when he gets there.
We are governed by criminally insane people. They are ready to blow up the planet to get their way which is wealth and power.
Trump is destructive, he destroys people who work for him as well as everything he touches.
To be clear, all the Americans (the ruling criminal elite) have to do is to stay home, they have no business on other continents, that does include the ME where THREE continents MEAT, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The Americans and Israelis are the real danger to the whole blue planet EARTH.
So what is your plan to deal with all the dictators, terrorist organizations, and totalitarian governments of the world?? Do you just want them to live in peace?
If the US was removed from the map tomorrow, do you think there would be world peace with Russia and China being the superpowers of the of the whole blue planet Earth? How about Iran and Saudi Arabia being the new superpowers in the Middle East?
Until the State of Israel, there was not independent nation in the geographical area since the Roman's sacked Jerusalem 2000 years ago.
Just for your info, most of the dictators have been placed there by the American CIA and the UK MI6 to serve Anglo-American corporate interests. We can be sure the CIA helped to elect the vassals in European Democracies serving US interests instead of their own people, see Germany.
It was the UK and USA escalating a European conflict into WW I. The goal was to eliminate the rising Bismarck Germany and preserve the dying British Colonial Empire, much like Japan in WW II. It was all about economics and resources and markets, we are now close to a possible WW III.
The solution is : AMY GO HOME. The total destruction of the ME tells all. South America is not much different, the US exploited the nations, The people remain poor and try to flee to other countries hoping to make a living.
What is your primary source for that gem?
History and common sense and public information.
What is your primary source that documents what you have said.
It is all public knowledge to people who want to know. I don’t think that you want to know, you are in denial and that is why you stick to MSM, the government narrative. Omission of pertinent facts are lies, half truth is all you get from MSM. Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Finkelstein, Blumenthal, Hedges, Hudson, Napolitano and his guests. Too many honest, reliable professional, informed people to name all of them.
The G-7 the trans-Atlantic ruling elite, the donor class, picks the people we may vote for. That is why USA and NATO have an intellectually and morally corrupt ruling elite. I believe that it will end the US hegemony and the EU and NATO. The corrupt criminal rulers destroy and break what ever they touch. Look at all the destruction of Trump and Musk did in less than 90 days. Does that not make you to stop, look and think? The destructions and the massacres in the ME, THE SANCTIONS world wide, the global economical destruction based on idiotic tariffs, the destruction of the governmental agencies, the firing of thousands of civil servants, and more. What will it take to make you see and when will you get the message, we have insane government destroying the nation, Trump will leave nothing but an imploding failed state behind. It will take decades and more to rebuild the nihilated nation. Time for you and other adults to wake up. Many already are out there demonstrating for a real competent and honorable leadership.
What you say is nonsense. The nation state is a modern development. And of course it makes sense that someone from the Middle East should "rule" the Middle East. Certainly not the apartheid state of Israel, which was a colonial settler project of British and now British and US imperialism. Israelis get to live in the Middle East in peace but not as usurpers, not as the hegemon at the expense of the rest of the population there.

The number one terrorist organization is the Zionist State of Israel.
The first truck bomb used was by the Irgun gang, not the Oklahoma bombing.
The attack on the U.S.S. Liberty was an act of attempted murder.
The dropping of more than 100,000 tons of bombs on Gaza is an act of terror, not war. Killing women and children is cowardly.
Executing aid workers i an act of terror.
I could go on, but at the risk of becoming more depressed and angry.
Don't compare that with the daily acts of terrorism in the name of Islam that we see in international news.
26 people have been killed after gunmen opened fire on a group of domestic tourists visiting a popular beauty spot in Indian-administered Kashmir. The attack took place in Pahalgam, a picturesque town in the Himalayas often described as the "Switzerland of India".
Well then… deterrence has failed.
I am done with your bulls**t. I'm Blocking you, peepsqueek.
I am now convinced, by default and absent ANY reply to my three simple questions :
1. You DO NOT care what is actually true. You just wanna believe a narrative you have chosen despite all evidence against it AND lacking sufficient evidence FOR it.
2. I do not believe you consider any possibility that your position on any topic might be wrong. I do dread the day when this stubborn ignorance literally kills you by some means easily avoidable by a rational, open-minded person who doesn't default to the arrogant "everything I believe is automatically correct 'cause I believe it " trope you do.
3. It has been demonstrated – REPEATEDLY – that presenting you with demonstrable, verifiable evidence and arguments DOES NOT and CANNOT change your position. You do not respect rational discourse and/or critical, logical thinking.
Therefore, I have ZERO reason to waste my time & effort to help you become a better, rational human. You can't, won't, and don't change for the better, in fact delighting in your own pathetic ignorance. Nothing you say or think has any value.
You are blocking because you cannot answer the hard questions. You are of weak character, so I don't care if you block me or not.
Everyone on this blog has been answering the "hard questions".
Got to hand it to you. Should call you the Teflon kid for consistently deflecting the truth.
LOL
Phony laughter is always an ignorant response
Not always… LOL
A response and not answering are two different things.
Everyone should block him. Then he'd be talking to himself.
He may be a student at university in Israel earning his shekels loading sites with this bullsh*t.
He/She knows perfectly well what he/she is doing.
More propaganda from Israel firsters. When someone occupies us, its our job to resist to make sure they cannot maintain the occupation. The Israeli occupier has not known a day of rest. A Spartan state entrapped in perpetual war and insecurity.

The geographic location of Israel has not been an independent nation since the Romans sacked Jerusalem 2000 years ago.
So, it's an apartheid, ethno-racist entity, that's falling apart from within. If that's the definition of an independent state, no one needs it.
Israel has been a member state at the UN for 77 years. The PA is an observer state, and Hamas cannot even get a seat at the UN General Assembly which their are 57 Muslim States, all members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the largest voting bloc at the UN General Assembly.
Yes, Israel has been a member state at the UN for 77 years, having agreed to the borders set in UNR 181 as a condition of said membership. For some reason it wants to keep the membership but not the agreement.
77 years ago the Tribe didn't have a seat. They achieved a state through war and violence. What goes around comers around. Hamas has to start somewhere. The 57 states are like the foam on the waves, powerless.
Ahem, before 9/11 I believe the last time the U.S. was attacked on its soil was during the War of 1812.
Mexican War is irrelevant because we provoked that war. I believe we also provoked the war against the British Crown in what became Canada.
Do the 1940s ring any bells?
Trump claims he wants peace and then he goes around and kicks the cojones and squeals and whines when they punch him in the nose. They made him do it he is innocent, he did nothing. He is just the nice guy.
He is also a Lousy Loser…!
I totally agree with that. He managed to bankrupt his casinos. He is a skilled conman.
And nobody is a bigger sucker than a conman.
Never thought of it that way, you are right.
He was too stupid to hire Steve Wynn to run the casinos for him.
He thinks he knows it all.
His father had to bail him out (temporarily) with one of his casinos by purchasing $2.5 million in chips, which is illegal.
It wasn’t a chip purchase, it was a cash delivery.
Casinos are required to keep as much cash on hand as they have in chip value on the floor, and a bad night got Trump’s casino below that level, so daddy sent a truck loaded with cash to the casino.
His dad had to bail him out, that is the point, and most likely not the only time.
I stand by mu chip purchase allegation:

My guess is Huthis are winning against borrow and spend bad guys who have no plan.
EDITED
It comes back to Osama Bin Laden's brilliant strategic observation – the United States will ALWAYS over-react to provocations with no regard to financial consequences.
If one accepts the Official Narrative of 9/11, then it's a fact that the USA spent literally one million times (1,000,000x) as much money reacting to 9/11 as it cost Al Qaeda to plan & execute 9/11.
The Houthinese are getting excellent mathematical value from destroying US "Reaper" drones. The upkeep of 2 carrier groups alone is a decent drain, tho certainly the Al-Shabbaabani'i of Somalia deserve sone credit in keeping the US Navy burning munitions on alleged weapons-transport ships.
I'd love to see what percentage of the US National Debt (aside from Interest) is directly related to military expenditure.
Including what is expended off the official books.
You are a little deficient, equating printed dollars having more value than human lives.
http://UNHCR.org : Over 80 percent of the population live below the poverty line. 18.2 million people in Yemen are now in need of humanitarian assistance and protection services.–Mar 27, 2025
Yemen primarily receives humanitarian assistance from the United States, according to Amnesty International. Other major donors include the United Kingdom, the European Commission.
They have most likely damaged the carriers' multiple accompanied ships if not sank any one of them…!
Yea right! Got any other fantasy?
Take heed of the past. The US bombed the h**l out of Vietnam and killed hundreds of thousands. What happened in the end? The US bombed Afghanistan and "rebuilt" it and what happened after a complete generation? Israel has decimated Gaza. Its still losing soldiers and the resistance is able to attack it anywhere in the Strip?
"The guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win."
Norman Finkelstein had an interesting and comical take on our operations in Afghanistan against the Taliban.
We spent $3 trillion, ten years, to replace the Taliban with………………..the Taliban.
Three percent of US trade runs through the Suez Canal, whiule 40 percent of European trade does.
As much as I abhor the Houthis interfering with trade and commerce, like most US taxpayers, I'm sick and tired of carrying water for the sorry-@-s-s EU.
Perhaps they should compensate us — or carry out their own attack on the Houthis.
Regardless, it is a point worthy of deliberation.
They deserve it if they are trading with Israel, a state accused of genocide, other war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Houthis aren't attacking International shipping.
No one forced the US to get involved in conflicts thousands of miles away from the USA. The US gets involved serving US interest, commercial and control of resources on other continents. Stop whining, the US is there for money by their own CHOICE. Have the courage to face the ugly truth.
I abhore genocide and in keeping within international law – so are the Houthis. They’re merly doing their dury and I salute them! 🤏
If they don't stop shooting at israel and commercial shipping, then this is their future. Its sad, but you can't fix stupid.
If Israel doesn't stop committing genocide and occupation, destruction is its future. It's not sad because it deserves it, and you can't fix stupid.

Yes, it's "stupid" as long as the reason they are doing it remains something that just never seems to get mentioned. at least on the vast majority of the MSM outlets. Otherwise, most people would call it noble and just.
Most fascist dictators AFTER WW II were put in power by the USA and UK, they did bloody regime changes of democratically elected governments, Iran is one of them and so is Ukraine and Chile and others.
