I'll admit the propagandists got me, at least enough to bother to look into it a little. I actually opened my mind enough to bother looking up the USS Liberty story a few weeks ago, even though I know agitprop when I see it.
People really should bother to go look into the story instead of just hanging out in the emotionally driven agitprop. Multiple investigations turn up no evidence of intentional wrongdoing. Israel apologizing and paying reparations. The facts of the relationship between Israel and the United States in 1967 (not quite the same as we have today!). The contingencies of the Six Day War.
Here's one simple example.
Before the Six Days War (June 5-11, 1967), the U.S. policy toward Israel and the Middle East was one of "balance." The U.S. refused to take a side. Through both the Kennedy and Eisenhower administrations, the goal was to strike a balance between the state of Israel, the local conservative monarchies, and the radical revolutionary Islamic states. The U.S. wasn't an ally of Israel; it was neutral and seeking to avoid any entanglements in the area. Its interests were dealing with the Soviets and the Cold War and oil concerns, mostly, and Israel wasn't that interesting of an ally in those concerns.
After the Six Days War, which is when the friendly-fire attack on the USS Liberty occurred (on Day 4 of 6, so June 8), U.S. policy on Israel and the Middle East shifted completely to alignment with Israel that became allyship.
Why would the United States shift from neutrality to alignment with a country that had just attacked one of its naval vessels unless it was already clear hostilities weren't intended? "Don't touch our boats" was an attitude of the U.S. Navy at the time too, and one of our boats definitely got touched. Two or three days later, however, you see the United States immediately shifting its priorities to the one that lasts to today: military support and coordination with Israel, conditional support for Arab states based on their alignment with U.S. interests, and working actively to contain pro-Communist forces and movements in the region.
Think about it for a second. The "attack" on the USS Liberty hits on June 8, 1967, and ENDS long-standing U.S. policy not to be involved in the tumults of the Middle East. Within just three or four days, the United States throws in WITH, not AGAINST, Israel in the region. It is this alignment that the propagandists today are trying to undo, ironically using the USS Liberty attack as a lever.
If you look into any of the details of this story, the emotionally driven agitating propaganda from the Woke Right and its accessories (plainly visible all over social media for months now and TPUSA platforms this week) completely falls apart. None of their claims make any sense except that they make you FEEL betrayed. If you're falling for it, you're being manipulated.
How can you get unmanipulated?
THINK FOR YOURSELF!
Rather than listening to podcasters and agitprop artists and short TikTok videos, go research the story yourself. You'll be angry that you did because it will show you that you've been manipulated and that the manipulation not only led you to hold awful positions but to have to waste your time looking into this little bit of largely irrelevant military history (in any big picture).
You'll find the declassified reports from both countries finding no evidence of wrongdoing. You'll find reports of the CIA recognizing the power and strategic value of aligning explicitly with Israel for all U.S. interests (America first!). You'll find that Israel stopped the attack as soon as it realized, apologized, paid reparations, did a thorough investigation, etc.
You'll also find out that the U.S. wasn't even an ally of Israel before or during the war but was just days later after the war ended, which cannot be explained by believing the attack was deliberate as an act of war against a U.S. Naval vessel and our brave U.S. Seamen.
Think for yourself. Do your own REAL research. You'll see how much you're being lied to, yet again, just like during Covid, and you can start to ask yourself WHY.
The answer is simple: The Woke Right is the CONTINUATION of the Woke project to destroy America, using the Right now since they hit a wall (namely, us) with using the Left.
