The USS Liberty was a lightly armed American spy-ship on patrol in the Eastern Mediterranean. On June 8th 1967 during the Arab Israeli six day war (which had been initiated by Israel with a massive preemptive strike against her Arab neighbours) the Liberty was attacked by Israeli forces. After a number of "friendly" flybys by Israeli reconnaissance planes - where the identity of the Liberty as an American warship was clearly established - three UNMARKED Israeli fighter jets suddenly appeared and began strafing the ship with 20 mm cannon and rocket fire killing many of the young sailors as they sunbathed and relaxed on deck. The radiomen tried desperately to call for help but discovered that ALL U.S. SELECTED FREQUENCIES WERE BEING JAMMED BY THE ISRAELIS. Nevertheless, they eventually managed to get through to the sixth fleet and requested immediate assistance. No help was forthcoming that day as the U.S. sixth fleet had WHITEHOUSE ORDERS not to launch aircraft to defend them. Next came two Israeli fighter bombers which dropped napalm canisters along each side of the ship. Under fire, the crew battled the inferno and eventually managed to bring the flames under control. After a brief lull, Israeli torpedo boats arrived. They began strafing the ship with their 40 mm cannon and 50 mm machine guns before dropping their torpedoes. The captain, Lee McGonagle, managed to dodge four of them. The fifth hit the ship with a massive explosion in the starboard side just forward of midships, killing 25 sailors. The ship did not sink but 2/3 of the crew were incapacitated with wounded and dying sailors all over the decks, "it was literally a bloodbath". The command was given to prepare to abandon ship. Three inflatable life-rafts were still seaworthy and were dropped over the side. THE ISRAELIS MACHINE GUNNED THEM. The crews life-vests were now their only hope for survival and the badly injured would never survive. The engine room then managed to bring the boilers back to life and the ship had power. Damage control also indicated that the ship had stopped taking on water and had settled on a nine degree list to starboard. The captain wisely decided not to abandon ship. Israeli helicopters carrying commandos then arrived and hovered near the vessel. Repel boarders were ordered and the surviving crew scrambled to mount a desperate last defense. Seeing that the ship had power and was still capable of defending herself - they called off their attack and all hostilities ceased. The Israelis had attempted to destroy the vessel, they had tried to murder the crew of 294 Americans leaving none alive, and they planned to blame this attack on the Arabs in order to bring America into the war. The U.S. government was complicit in the attack and attempted to cover it up afterwards. As has every government since. The U.S. Navy told the surviving crewmen never to talk about the Israeli attack to anyone including their families and threatened them with lengthy prison sentences. Nevertheless, some have spoken out. The USS Liberty is the most decorated U.S. warship for any single engagement - earning 208 Purple Hearts for her desperate fight for survival. Captain Lee McGonagle was awarded the Medal Of Honour (in a secret ceremony at the naval yard).
Where did u find in the bible "the church he knows is faithful and true" " the church he knows the tower of refuge". Only God is faithful and true. Only our God os the tower of refuge and not the church
Allow me to comment, In fairness I love the tune of the song, but I believed the tune is irrelevant when the message or the content is unscriptural and not doctrinally sound. Here's some part of the lyrics somewhere in the last 2 paragraph or verse of the song. 1. "The church He knows Righteous and Holy" - this is subjective truth, yes there's a sense the church is Holy and Righteous BUT by virtue of Christ imputed righteousness. Theologians called it POSITIONAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, but in a sense of Practical the church struggle to become righteous and live holy lives. 2."The church He knows Is faithful" - not objective truth, but subjective. Most of the time believers (though not all) are unfaithful and dishonest. The scripture never never teach that the church is "True", only God is true. John 1 says God is the "True Light" , Jesus said, I Am the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. 3."The church He knows A tower of refuge"- this is false claimed, cause there is only one true "Tower of Refuge" and that is God alone, Prob. 18:10 4. The church He knows Light of this city- the bible says "you are the light of the world" not "city", Jesus is the Light. 5. "The church He knows Strengthens the weak"- Church never strengthens the weak, they may encourage but they never supply strength to the weak, only God can do that. 2Cor. 12:9 "My (Jesus) grace is sufficient for thee: for MY strength is made perfect in weakness" 6.The church He knows Is strong and mighty- if we are strong n mighty Christ death is useless, the word "mighty" is best only be attributed to God not to man. Isaiah 9:6-7"....and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God" 7. As He is, so are we - this is a dangerous claimed.
