The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.

I'm not sure what this Google Search is suppose to prove relative to the topic: "Israel: Helping To Make A Better World"

The controversies are many. But even reducing the "Question of Palestine" to the most elementary scale of contemporary international politics or diplomacy - I don't see the how this links to the topic of the thread.

But I do find it suspiciously improbable that the standard model of Israeli contributions to humanity has anything to do with the civil strife of seven decades ago.

◈ Lehi (AKA) The Stern Gang disbanded in May 1948 → Incorporated into the Israeli Defense Force (IDF)
◈ The Irgun disbanded in June 1948 → Incorporated into the Israeli Defense Force (IDF)
◈ The Haganah transitioned into the IDF

These three groups have not been seen in over 70 years. The IDF has contributed to dozens of Humanitarian Assistance, Aid, or Relief around the world continuously for the the span from creation to now. And they still are contribution to the world wherever they are needed.

My question is, since you want to paint the IDF Black, What has the Palestinians done over that span of time?

The Israelis contribute back to the world in so many ways that go unsung. And they don't brag about what they have done, they merely report where they have been and why.

If you want to throw rocks, select a target that has demonstrated violence and a total disregard for human life. Go to the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) and do an inquiry on Palestinian Terrorist Groups for the same time period. Or ask, what has HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Movement) or Fatah done lately? THEN pick your target.

BLUF: Yes, this happened. The USS Liberty (GTR-5), is described as a Navy Technical Research Ship, a euphemism for a floating SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). Hense the haul Number GTR-5 for General Technical Research. These, and others of its type ( ie USS Pueblo GER-2) operated under the taskings for the National Security Agency (NSA) working the SI-ELINT (Signals Intelligence - Electronic Intelligence) side of the house.

The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.

[/QUOTE]
(COMMENT)

We probably will not know (in my lifetime) the true mission of the GTR-5 (USS Liberty). But even today, mistakes are periodically made. People act like the Liberty incident was unique. Well it wasn't. It happens periodically.

◈ (1960) An international diplomatic crisis erupted in May 1960 when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) shot down an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet air space and captured its pilot, Francis Gary Powers (1929-77). Confronted with the evidence of his nation’s espionage,​
◈ (1968). USS Pueblo (GER-2), a Navy intelligence vessel, is engaged in a routine surveillance of the North Korean coast when it is intercepted by North Korean patrol boats. According to U.S. reports, the Pueblo was in international waters almost 16 miles from shore, but the North Koreans turned their guns on the lightly armed vessel and demanded its surrender. The Americans attempted to escape, and the North Koreans opened fire, wounding the commander and two others. With capture inevitable, the Americans stalled for time, destroying the classified information aboard while taking further fire. Several more crew members were wounded.​
◈ (1983). Soviet jet fighters intercept a Korean Airlines passenger flight in Russian airspace and shoot the plane down, killing 269 passengers and crew-members. The incident dramatically increased tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States.​
◈ (1988). USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian commercial flight, killing two hundred and ninety innocent people, among them sixty-six children. Just over 30 years ago. The Airbus A300 was shot down on July 3, 1988, on its way from Tehran to Dubai over the Straits of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman and is an important shipping lane for oil tankers. The area is within Iranian airspace.​
◈ (2001). A collision between a U.S. Navy surveillance plane and a Chinese fighter jet over the South China Sea Sunday has created tension between the two countries. China has accused the EP-3 spy plane of ramming one of its fighter jets in mid-flight Sunday, causing it to crash. The pilot remains missing. Adm. Dennis Blair, commander of U.S. Pacific military forces, said one of the Chinese planes clipped the wing of the EP-3. But he said it was likely an accident because no one would be foolish enough to "play bumpercars in the air". The EP-3, with 24 crew aboard, made an emergency landing on China's Hainan Island without permission.​

It happens. It involves all the BIG Superpowers and across all services. No, the USS Liberty incident was not unique at all. Mishaps, accidents, and other calamitous events happen. And we should not get all excited by this one event. It is not like we are similar to the Arab Palestinians that hold celebrations for famous terrorists. Just this past week I was reading how Dalal Mughrabi who led the PLO terrorists responsible for the Coastal Road Massacre in 1978, in which 38 Israelis, 12 of them children, were murdered.

Posted text: “The occupation forces arrested rebel Muna Al-Kurd at her home in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood [of Jerusalem].​
May you live as a rebel defending our Jerusalem, like your role model Dalal Mughrabi.”​

Using the USS Liberty as an example of Israeli skullduggery is simply being hostile and prejudicial against Jewish people.

Oh wise one, I do not have anything against Jews, but I do detest, loath and find repugnant the Israelis who murder children, bomb buses and Palestinian homes. The Israelis are the scum of humanity, and the Lord will punish them for it.

32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

According to a 2002 study by the Jewish Agency, "the number of Jews in the world is declining at an average of 50,000 per year."

BLUF: If I left you with the impression that the Israelis had a mission and executed a deliberate attack with the specific intention of killing Americans, I'm sorry. That was not my intent.

BLUF: Yes, this happened.
Thank you for acknowledging that yes, indeed, the Israelis deliberately murdered Americans

(COMMENT)
.
Yes, the incident occurred. Why it occurred and the way in which the Israelis handled the post engagement could have been handled much better than it was. But, I think there was a danger in the eyes of the Israelis that the GTR-5 was an Egyptian False Flag operation. And we also know that once there was doubt as to the identity of the suspect vessel, the hostile fire ceased and the Israeli took up a station-keeping posture should life-saving measure immediate action be required in accordance with the
San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea.
.
I would have handled it much differently. But in the Israelis defense, the GTR-5 had a SIGINT/ELINT profile. And, not only was it in the Exclusion Zone, but it was danger close to Israelis entangled in Hostile Operations with Arab League Forces; four days into the 1967 June Six-Day War. Evidently, the ship was in close enough proximity to trigger an armed response from forces already engaged with hostiles. The Israelis expected to engage OPFOR (blue on red - not blue on something other than red) and did not stop to take notice of the identity.

Now → I know that many of the survivors look at it as a cold-blooded action on the part of the Israelis. But, I've been in Operation Centers during combat operation and I understand focus and intensity, and sometimes chaos, as FEBA moves forward. I know that terms like "murderous bastards" - "traitor" - "war crimes" and such were bandied around. The Israelis knew that the US Sixth Fleet was not far away. The Israelis knew that if this was really a US Signals Intelligence Ship, that Americans would engage any boarding party that might approach to protect the Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) form foreign disclosure - and the Six Fleet Flag Ship (USS Saratoga, an Aircraft Carrier CV-60) would have dispatched a rescue force to protect and recover the GTR-5 in answer to its distress signal. That further confused the Israelis. The Israelis were expecting to see fighter cover coming over the radar horizon, followed by support ships and helo's coming at full speed. But their surprise they did not see Israel Naval Force did not see and such response.

Was there actually a squadron launched? And if so, who gave the order for the recall?

Yes, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories. (My favorite conspiracy theory is: The President
personally gave the order to Israel to bomb and utterly destroy the USS Liberty and its entire crew of 294 Americans.) But I have yet seen the entire timeline of the action and who made what call to who and when. I (personally) would have expected to hear CINCUSNAVEUR (Admiral McCain) to have released a joint accounting of the event. Even now, a half-century later, the complete story is not been told. And that suggests that there are still valid concerns that could affect foreign relations and national security (back in a time when that use to mean something).

You can believe what you want, but absent any new and detailed information - I think I will reserve judgment. I fail to see or understand any motive for the Israelis to purposely attack the Americans. What advantage would they gain?
.
Again, just my uneducated thoughts...
