I absolutely have to side with Israel on the Liberty.
That spy ship didn’t belong there, and its captain damn well knew it. It was there to feed Israel’s enemies with intelligence. They knew that the US Navy was not going to come to their rescue.

The USS Liberty was in international waters. The Israelis should NOT have killed Americans out in open water.
Do I support Israel? Yes. But I am not stupid-blind about it and fully recognize that they have their own objectives as a foreign nation.
