The Day Israel Attacked America2014

[first lines]

Narrator:
Early June, 1967. The Six Day War in the Middle East between Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria is under way. A spy-ship, very lightly armed but bristling with antennae steams into the Mediterranean to eavesdrop on the conflict. It is patrolling in *international* waters off the Egyptian coast. At two in the afternoon, on June 8th, with the war reaching its climax, Israeli jets and motor torpedo boats launch an unprovoked attack on the ship. They drop napalm and strafe its decks with rockets, canon fire, and armor-piercing rounds before trying to sink it with torpedoes.
