In June 1967, the Israel military attacked the USS Liberty. A survivor of that attack was onboard the Gaza aid flotilla and has survived yet again to tell the story. Joe Meadors is a pro-Palestinian activist and a survivor of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. That attack by the Israeli Air Force killed 34 Americans. Meadors was onboard one of the Gaza aid flotilla ships. “They Israeli military are very inept, to tell you the truth,” said Meadors.
Israeli forces were unable to sink an unarmed US Naval ship and were unable to adequately engage the Turkish liner.
“It was an illegal attack. We were on the high seas conducting legal activities. They admitted that they closed the area for military purposes but they, we tried to find out the boundaries of that area and they wouldn’t tell us,” said Meadors.
Meadors said that they violated international waters both in the recent flotilla attack and in 1967 at the attack of the USS Liberty, stating that Israel also violated international law by using unmarked aircraft. “They’re just a bunch of rag-tag people who think they can do no wrong.
Every time they speak they say they don’t break any laws, they always abide by international laws. But, they break them with impunity and the US Government is not going to hold them accountable, nobody is,” said Meadors. Meadors expects an investigation will show that Israel violated international law
“My husband died serving his country,” his wife, Allie Brazas, said in a statement released through Naval Base Kitsap.
“He loved his job. We will all miss him and we will never forget him. He is my hero.” Brazas’ father told the Greensboro News-Record that the sailor was shot while trying to help a soldier get in a helicopter.
“I’m proud of him …,” father Ed Brazas told the newspaper. “Freedom is not cheap. We pay for it with the dearest blood.” Brazas is the sixth Washington-based service member to die in Afghanistan this month.
Five soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord have been killed in May. Brazas’ K-9 partner, a dog named Sicario, survived the attack that killed the handler, Danaher said.
