The Liberty attack was pretty surgical - ALL antennae (including the wardroom TV antennae) destroyed with minimal loss of life. Liberty had been broadcasting in the clear and with light encryption what IDF was doing. IAF responds with “STFU” on a grand scale.

Well, hard to call 34 KIA “minimal”, but if they were telling the hajiis what the IDF was doing, I don’t see where they had much choice.

Based on your description, I'm gonna tell ya I got no problem with what the IDF did 43 years ago. But whoever sent the Liberty into that theatre of operations should have been fired at a minimum.

And how were the multiple torpedo hits used to shoot out an antenna?
