Rep. Thomas Massie Calls for a Congressional Investigation Into the Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty
June 9, 2026
Writes Ginny Garner:
Lew,
After 59 years, a member of Congress finally has called for a congressional investigation into the unprovoked and deliberate attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967. Rep. Thomas Massie made the plea on the anniversary of the attack that killed 34 and wounded 174 serviceman that was covered up by the US government. Survivor Phil Tourney had personally lobbied Massie on the issue in an elevator on Capitol Hill. Kim Iverson elaborated on the historical development in her podcast. She prefaces the news with a report on the Pentagon identifying Israel as the greatest critical spy threat to America and the US and Israel merging their militaries. Seventeen USS Liberty survivors sat in the House gallery to listen to Massie’s remarks on the House floor which start at 33:00 in the video.
