Nearly 40 years after Israel deliberately fired on the USS Liberty during the Six-Day War, Germany alleges something similar but of smaller scale off the coast of Lebanon.
Would it surprise me? No. At first, you think it was accidental, but the evasive tactics after firing raise suspicion.
But why? Why would Israel do something like this? Cui bono, to quote the legal phrase? Simple muscle-flexing, it appears. Silly brinkmanship would be more accurate a description.
