Why worry about Israel attacking a US ship while pretending they are Egyptian in order to draw the US in a wider war? It's not like they've been shown to be spying on the US, or have any recent evidence that Netanyahu's government funds enemies of Israel in order to bolster political support.

This is all a big nothing-burger of millions of lives at stake. 😬

A quote from Dean Rusk, former US Secretary of State:

I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.
