Coming from someone who continually apologizes for Palestinian terrorism, I find that funny.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.The President of the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Ernest A. Gallo, sent a letter dated January 10, 2016 to President Barack Obama requesting that he invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attend a Memorial Service at Arlington National Cemetery at noon on June 8, 2016 commemorating the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on the USS LIBERTY in which 32 Americans were killed and 171 were wounded.

He don´t have the balls
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.
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.

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.
You ever watched the testimonies of the survivors of the USS Liberty?
You will know that your poor, sad excuses are, well, nothing more than apologist zionist excuses!
There are some great documentaries on this subject, I suggest you go watch them!
