The USS LIberty was a mistaken identity, caused by the ship being in an area supposedly cleared of US ships...and the guy claiming to have been in a war room meeting in Israel where they "Planned to Purposefully sink the Liberty" was proven false, as the General supposedly at the meeting was found to be a fictious charactor.

The US shot down and sank various allied parties as well, including one not too long ago, where we also mistook a freind for a foe due to the confusion of operations.

It happens all the time...GI's have shot their best freinds in the back in an accidental cross fire, etc...its a part of the shit that happens when we try to kill each other.

Hell, if the knife is slippery from blood, you can cut yourself stabbing someone else, when your hand slips onto the blade.



The Israelis biggest concern when they found out the ship wasn't the Egyptian they first thought is that they might have sunk a RUSSIAN ship...and their frantic communicaitons were about a possible mistaken sinking of a Russian, not a US, ship.

They were mostly afraid they had brough Russia into the conflict as an adversary...that was one thing they dreaded.

They immediately apologized for the sinking to the US once they found out they wouldn't be nuked by russia, etc.

So, a viscious attack? Hardly...other examples of Israel attaking the US, or a motive for it? Hardly.

Now, the killing of Christ thing...
