I read others about the Liberty. I picked those two to demonstrate the two extremes. But I go with you on this for two reasons:

1) The crew of the Liberty had no doubts about the identifying waves made by the Israeli pilots. When it comes to subsequent investigations, they are conducted by govts with motives & agendas. I will always trust a large group of GIs over that.

2) Israeli intelligence has always been the best in the world. Nuclear bomb capabilities in neighboring countries? They're there, destroying it, before we even know there's a problem afoot. They are simply too good at it to make an error of this magnitude.

Trying to discern exactly why they did is a bit of a mystery. But I seriously doubt it was an error.
