Israel's penchant for false flag operations of this nature are well known. We can infer that the attack on The Liberty was very likely intentional for other reasons, shown since. Since we know (from the Israeli art students with all those blasting caps, from the call from Tel Aviv to Odigo employees in the Twin Towers to stay home that day, and from the "dancing Israelis" across the Hudson celebrating the attacks) that Israel succeeded in their False Flag on 9-11-01 in actually getting the USA to attack many of their Middle East rivals, we can assume they were trying to get Americans to die for Israel back in '67, as well..
