Thread: Italians and Firearms

re US Liberty one theory is that it was a false flag attack by Israel to make it look like the Egyptians did it, to get the US to attack Israel. It nearly worked, LBJ had planes flying to Egypt but they were re-called.
The planes and torpedo boats had no markings, and the first Israeli fighter pilot identified and radioed back the ship was US. He refused to attack and returned to base and was arrested.

The Israelis have a history of this. In 1954 Israel planted bombs in buildings and left evidence to make it look like Egypt did it, but one of the bombs went off early and the Israelis were discovered. In 1986 they sent a false radio signal from Tripoli to make it look like the Libyans were behind the Berlin (?) discotheque bombing to get Reagan to bomb Libya.

Here are a few others from other countries as well
