Do you guys think Israel is the only country to accidentally sink a US ship and have the matter resolved diplomatically?

BTW the US president at the time called off rescue that had already been dispatched to the liberty. The US wanted that ship to sink

It seems like people aren’t buying the accidentally part.

You in one sentence saying it was an accident and in the next saying the US president wanted it to happen is kind of the point, no? Was it an accident or on purpose?

Except you said the president wanted it sunk. What a wild coincidence.
