| Israel`s essential position regarding the attack on the USS Liberty was that it was an accident.The Israeli government was assured by US authorities that no US ships were in the area.Israeli military authorities mistakenly identified the ship as Egyptian - the El Quseir.The Six Day War atmosphere created the possibility of such terrible errors.Our country has attacked its own,allied forces and other nations under conditions less severe than the 6 Day War:the French submarine Surcouf;Iran Air flight 655;Hainan island incident;killing of our own soldiers and allies in Vietnam, Gulf War II, and Afganistan. |
