Yes, that was an unfortunate friendly-fire incident that happened almost 50 years ago. My 19-year-old cousin was also killed by fellow Israelis in a friendly-fire incident. My uncle and aunt never thought to blame his comrades.

He should make a formal apology. Some day he will for 911 as well.

On June 8, 1967 the USS Liberty was cruising in the Mediterranean in International waters ordered to monitor the Israeli-Arab war. In the morning the ship was circled a dozen times by low flying Nord propeller "boxcars" at mast height with Israeli designation. The planes flew at mast height; the men on the ship could see the teeth of the pilots as they smiled. They waved at them. The ship was flying a 4’ x 7’ American flag; it stood straight out on a clear, breezy day. The ship had large letter designation on the bow GTR-5. The attack by unmarked Israeli planes (Israel says the attack was an accident – the ship was an Egyptian horse carrier – less than 1/2 the size of the USS Liberty) commenced in the afternoon in International waters. After the attack with cannon, rockets, napalm and torpedo fire; the torpedo boats came back and machine gunned the life rafts as they were thrown overboard (a war crime according to International Law). 34 men were killed and 171wounded (out of a crew of 291) this day by the Israelis. The men on board the ship call it murder. Captain Ward Boston was given one week to conduct an investigation of the attack. Before he died Ward Boston signed an affidavit stating that the attack on the USS Liberty was deliberate.
Many American intelligence servicemen have come forward stating they overheard the Israelis identifying the ship as American. I do not believe the Israeli government – I believe it is lying.

When it comes to Israel the US is simply unable to behave as a sovereign nation. Bennieyahoo is more commander in chief of US armed forces than any american president.

The link says that Israel mistook the Liberty for an Egyptian carrier. You have to remember that Israel was fighting on 3 fronts, in a very short six day period. There was no reason for Israel to expect an American ship to be in the middle of the Mediterannian Sea at that time. Have you ever been in the fog of war? Besides, Israelis worship America so much that it's almost sickening, and I suspect it was the same at that time too.

What's much more sickening is america's dysfunctional obsession with Israel. We've become so accustomed to excusing and engaging in denial of Israel’s protracted occupation, settlement expansions and violence that we now discount the word of our own armed service personnel.

The link says israel claims that ¨The attack by unmarked Israeli planes (Israel says the attack was an accident – the ship was an Egyptian horse carrier – less than 1/2 the size of the USS Liberty)¨

Why would israel not expect ¨an American ship to be in the middle of the Mediterannian Sea at that time.¨ if they overflew the ship 12 times?

Why did israel use un-marked planes, and why shoot up survivours in life-rafts (a war-crime)

Yes, but I was specifically talking about the Liberty incident. My Israeli relatives never stop talking about, or marvelling at, America. Obama has criticized Israel in the areas you've mentioned. As for the incident itself: 1) Does EVERYONE from the Liberty believe that it was deliberate? 2) How can they know it from Israel's point of view? 3) Weren't there already about 7 or 8 investigations that absolved Israel?

Like the huge Union jack and the electronic ident that matched the daily one, and still your pilots killed British soldiers. I wonder what those soldiers lives would be worth in an American court ?
