Excuse me ? So this is reason for "our closest ally in the middle east" to attack Americans ? We should have counter- attacked the ungrateful bastards with our own air strike

Actually, the first Warship to offer help was a Soviet Destroyer.

It shadowed the Liberty during the night in case the Timbers shoring the bulkheads gave way and the Liberty suddenly sank.

Actually, the Israeli torpedo boats offered assistance once they were told it was an American ship.
