Ten boards of inquiry when the main witnesses were alive and could testify said it was an mistake. Why doesn't this satisfy you? As for the recording you cite, there is no such recording. That's something that was made up by the neo-nazis, who you seem to want to join.

Further research shows that Margolis wrote his story based on sources that do not support what he says, and anyone can look them up. He says "Washington warned Israel not to invade Syria, which had remained inactive while Israel fought Egypt," but the book he cites says "fighting was also initiated along the Jordanian and Syrian borders." The New York Times reported on June 7, 1967: "Israeli air raids against Syria resumed this morning, and Syrian artillery began pounding Israeli front-line positions along the 72-mile frontier." He also says "Israel's claim that Syria had attacked it could have been disproved by Liberty." First, where was Liberty on June 5? She was steaming eastward, just south of Sicily. So, what a ridiculous statement. Second, there is a wealth of written material regarding the specifics of the Six-Day War which shows quite clearly that Syria opened hostilities first on Israel in the late a.m. of June 5, with the IAF then responding later in the day with air strikes. The Liberty arrived on June 8th. Were they going back in time and pick up days-old transmissions? Finally, it was proven that there were two linguists aboard Liberty sent specifically for its mission--one who spoke Arabic, and another who spoke Russian. No Hebrew speakers were aboard. The Liberty was sent to help deterimine if suspicions were correct that the Soviet Union had sent pilots to fly Egyptian war planes. If that were so, Johnson planned to demand that it stop, as he had an agreement with the Soviets that neither superpower would get involved as direct combatants. It was also true that, during the 6 day war, the Eqyptians were reflagging ships with neutral Liberian flags or even U.S. flags to infiltrate Israeli sea lanes. To recap: 1. No Hebrew speakers on board, so no effort to incercept Israeli communications. The intercept story is pure nonsense. 2. Arabic and Russian speakers on board to see if the Soviets were unfairly helping Egypt against Israel. 3. Confusion as to the identity of ships due to reflagging efforts. 4. Many errors were made in the confusion by Israel, including bombing its own troops once. 5. No one can come up with a reason that makes any sense as to why Israel would do such a thing on purpose. 6. All boards of inquiry have concluded it was an accident. 7. Neo-nazis and antizionists will never be satisfied with any evidence or conclusion that exonerates Israel.
