I'll bet that the reason you hate Jews so much is because your family is living in stolen Jewish property, and you want to justify your ill-gotten gains by demonizing those who are your victims.
The USS Liberty???
You are such a stupid, hateful clown. Israel was fighting for it's very existence in the 1967 war. Did you think that it was a picnic. Israel was surrounded by approximately 250,000 troops (nearly half in Sinai). More than 2,000 tanks and 700 aircraft ringed Israel! If the inhuman, vicious, racist Arabs had won, do you think that any Jew in Israel would have been left alive?
Accidents happen in war, especially when the deck is stacked against you, as it was in Israel. Israel had little chance to defeat the combined Arab forces, but they did! During the Arab attack, the action was fast and furious. The Israel forces had little time to think, just had the time to react and counter-attack.
Here is the beginning of an article about the USS Liberty.
"The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was a grievous error, largely attributable to the fact that it occurred in the midst of the confusion of a full-scale war in 1967. Ten official United States investigations and three official Israeli inquiries have all conclusively established the attack was a tragic mistake.
On June 8, 1967, the fourth day of the Six-Day War, the Israeli high command received reports that Israeli troops in El Arish were being fired upon from the sea, presumably by an Egyptian vessel, as they had a day before. The United States had announced that it had no naval forces within hundreds of miles of the battle front on the floor of the United Nations a few days earlier; however, the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship assigned to monitor the fighting, arrived in the area, 14 miles off the Sinai coast, as a result of a series of United States communication failures, whereby messages directing the ship not to approach within 100 miles were not received by the Liberty. The Israelis mistakenly thought this was the ship doing the shelling and war planes and torpedo boats attacked, killing 34 members of the Liberty's crew and wounding 171.
Numerous mistakes were made by both the United States and Israel. For example, the Liberty was first reported — incorrectly, as it turned out — to be cruising at 30 knots (it was later recalculated to be 28 knots). Under Israeli (and U.S.) naval doctrine at the time, a ship proceeding at that speed was presumed to be a warship. The sea was calm and the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry found that the Liberty's flag was very likely drooped and not discernible; moreover, members of the crew, including the Captain, Commander William McGonagle, testified that the flag was knocked down after the first or second assault."
