[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]I'm still waiting for the Big Why.[/QUOTE]You're not the only one. [QUOTE]Assuming they KNEW it was a US ship from the get-go, WHY did the Israelis attack the Liberty?[/QUOTE]Maybe they just wanted to send a message: don't fuck with us. [QUOTE]Because you're right, everything that's been mentioned so far could be deliberate, or it COULD be chalked up to reprehensible incompetence (not entirely implausible.)[/QUOTE]VERY implausible. The Israeli military is at the top of its game - has to be for Israeli survival. The chances of this attack happening for such a length of time being committed by Israel is *VERY* small and, honestly, not very likely. When you look at some of the people who have come forward regarding the Board of Inquiry, and other circumstances (Rusk, Adlai Stephenson, etc), it certainly lends more creedence to "this was deliberate." [QUOTE]Therefore, motive is key.[/QUOTE]But understanding the motive isn't always key to understanding "hey, they did this on purpose." [QUOTE]Revenge? Hatred?[/QUOTE]Perhaps indeed anger - anger that they were attacked, left to die by their nation, and that the attack was covered up by Washington (as evidenced by the falsifying of the Board of Inquiry). [QUOTE]Worse than the Nazis? That's pretty extreme. More than simple bitterness over the attack.[/QUOTE]I was going to say something, then I remembered that the Nazis have a history of attacking their allies, too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
