Texas man is sailing to site of ‘USS Liberty’ attack to hold memorial 44 years later

This news comes from Colonel Ann Wright. A great Palestinian solidarity activist with Code Pink, I met her in Gaza two years ago. Humble, energetic, eloquent. Well she’s talking USS Liberty. Thus the left and the Americanists are joining hands on a critique of the special relationship. Wright writes:

Larry Toenjes, 74, from Clear Lake Shores, Texas, is sailing his 39-foot sailboat, the s/v Liberty, to the coordinates of the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 sailors and wounded another 173. …

At the site, Toenjes will be holding a memorial service honoring those killed on the USS Liberty by the Israeli military.
