Al Jazeera Airing Documentary on USS Liberty
What we have been told is an excellent documentary on Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty is airing Friday and Saturday on Al Jazeera America (check your local cable channel listings or visit http://america.aljazeera.com). Called “The Day Israel Attacked America,” it was produced by British filmmaker Richard Belfield, who wrote on the Al Jazeera website:
“The veterans were extraordinary. One after another, they were generous with their time, uniformly eloquent and passionate and above all, honest in their recollections.
“They all felt betrayed by the American government but were keen to exonerate ordinary Jewish people both in Israel and without, for any responsibility for the incident. Their beef was simply with the senior Israeli officers in the control room and their superiors higher up the command chain who had ordered the attack.”
The one-hour film will be aired at the following times on the East Coast:
Fri., Oct. 31: 10 p.m.
Sat., Nov. 1: 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.
