Rep. Massie Calls for Investigation into 1967 Israeli Attack on USS Liberty
Republican Representative Thomas Massie has called for a new investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, an American spy ship. The attack, which occurred during the Six-Day War, resulted in the deaths of 34 crew members and injuries to 171 others. Israel apologized, citing a mistaken identity, and paid damages to the U.S. and victims' families. Despite multiple U.S. investigations concluding the attack was accidental, Massie and other critics argue it was deliberate. Massie, who is leaving Congress after losing his primary, used the incident's anniversary to urge Congress to honor the victims and re-examine the event.
