I’ve read the unclassified investigation reports. A lot of what you say is simply made up. In fact pilots initially thought it was an Egyptian vessel through efforts to identify the ship which was clouded in smoke after failing to signal the ship to identify themselves. It wasn’t until after the attack launched and one torpedo boat approached an opposite side of the liberty did they see the ships hull number therefore realizing they falsely identified the ship and called off the attack.
Once there was an attempt at communication, the response was ignored and they were torpedoed anyways.
Yea because their shoreline was being shelled for hours at that point and the ship was heading towards one of their ports. You may not realize but every minute matters in war.

You read the Israeli propaganda then. Because this is all a matter of public record, even the Israeli pilots doing the attack have admitted they were able to read the ships identification off the hull after they bombed the flag away.
The IDF has shown itself to be completely incapable of telling the truth and American presidents just accepted that during the cold war. But that time is gone and over public sentiment is finally turning against the apartheid regime. So the second your last silent generation defender is gone the sanctions are going to come. Your F-35s are going to be like Iran’s F-14s.

Yea that’s a pure lie. Israeli pilots didn’t identify a hull number. The only pilot to identify the ship was a helicopter pilot who was able to see the small flag it was flying after getting closer to provide assistance. You realize the ship was clouded in smoke while pilots tried to identify it like a smokescreen. And you say a pilot hundreds of feet away seen through the smoke a hull number.
I will say Israeli Navy not air force did identify the ship earlier that morning but I’m done here. Don’t care to break this down further to you you’ll just counter with some lala land bullshit.
See like this one. Lmfao. Keep dreaming.
