The Israelis didn't attack the Liberty by accident. It was an Intelligence ship monitoring their war with Egypt and was learning too much...it had to go. I know, I was on NATO/U.S Navy staff duty in the Mediteranean at the time. The Liberty had her hull number displayed and was flying the American flag on a clear day.

Petemi;
Alright already, you bring up 1..one..uno..ein..example of an Israeli attack upon a US ship. Most here as well as our security agencies believe it was a case of mistaken identity, some like you do not believe it. Believing as you do, you are still attacking Israel about it. Fine, so we give that to you...
I find it curious indeed that in this discussion involving both Israel and the Muslim dictatorships, you seem to only be able to recall the single, disputed attack by Israeli forces. So lets say the Liberty and the USS Cole cancel each other out, even though there is absolutely NO DOUBT who attacked the Cole and what their motivations were. So you were serving in the med when the Liberty was attacked. There were thousands of family members living nearby in NY City when their loved one (one of 3,000) were murdered by Muhammad's minions. Since 9/11 there have been over 14,000 muslim terrorist attacks around the world, not to mention the thousands before 9/11.
just this week the homeland security is scouring hundreds of venues, searching for Muslim planted bombs which could still kill any one of us...
But still, you make not a single mention of the thousands of attacks before and after 9/11..while you go on harping about va mistaken identity incident of 40+ years ago.
BTW: You whine about the Liberty having a hull number & flag displayed; don't you suppose the Muslims who attacked the World Trade Center, the USS Cole, embassies, pizza parlors, pre school nurseries, churches, synagogs & schools and a thousand other places, knew very well to whom they belonged ?
Let's be honest, if you just hate the Jews, simply because they are Jews..why not just come clean and say so ?
