My favorite part:
Calm down guys. It's just anti-semitism. Damn anti-semites.
I also liked his assertion that the ONLY way you can believe facts is if you can answer the question "why would Israel want to do this?". Which has a pretty damn obvious answer - to draw the US into the war (or simply give them a reason to give the public). Not that it needs an answer, when you have a recording of an Israeli pilot saying "But it's an American ship. I can see the flag." Before bombing the damn boat...

My favorite part:
Sounds like something the CIA would do, to get an excuse to "liberate" a country that has strategic resources (the Suez Canal in this case)

Yeah I definitely believe that line of argument. And likely Israel was a means of accomplishing it, since I doubt an American would fire on an American ship, orders or otherwise.

Anti-semitism and conspiracy theories go hand in hand.

Where's this fucking movie? Huh, Hollywood?

Israel should be nuked. Then Saudi Arabia and don't stop there! Hit India and Pakistan. Fuck all those sand nigger fuckers. Then, Europe and America must expel all kikes to Antarctica. Kikes are cancer to Earth

They didn't know it was a US ship! It's not easy to see a US FLAG WAVING IN THE AIR ABOVE IT

ah, the only state in the middle east to ever commit an act of terror against the Unites States.
Also our largest welfare recipient. Can you spell V A S S A L?

The article debunks the conspiracy theory.
[–] random6000 [S] ago
How so? I'd hardly say that the opinion of a Knesset member debunks the notion that the attack was deliberate, given all the pieces of evidence we have supporting that idea.

'Israeli pilot to IDF war room: But sir, it’s an American ship - I can see the flag!', "It is part of a 'theory' that Israel, together with Russia and China, spies on the United States."
'Michael Oren, who researched the affair in depth, rejects out of hand attempts to claim Israel attacked the USS Liberty deliberately. '
'Thirty-four American sailors were killed in the Israeli attack and many others were wounded. '
'But naturally, as often happens in such events, to this day there are some who believe Israel attacked the ship with malicious intent. '
