## Resource

In this controversial episode of The Man-Eating Toaster, Pastor Nelly dives into one of the most disputed and politically explosive incidents in modern American history: the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. During the Six-Day War, Israeli forces attacked an American intelligence ship, killing 34 U.S. servicemen and wounding 171 others. Was it a tragic mistake, or something far more deliberate? Drawing from survivor testimony, intelligence officials, declassified records, and decades of controversy, Nelly explores the attack, the investigation that followed, and the allegations of a long-running cover-up. The discussion expands into modern questions of lobbying, political influence, government secrecy, and America’s relationship with Israel before concluding with a theological examination of truth, witness, corruption, and the biblical cost of speaking uncomfortable truths. From Micaiah before Ahab to Pilate before Christ, this episode asks a timeless question: What happens when the truth becomes too expensive to acknowledge?
