Israel intentionally bombed a US ship and killed 34 sailors. Instead of doing something about it we helped them cover it up. It’s fucking crazy how much we let them get away with.
I think you’re lying about the “covering up” bits of this story. Investigations into the incident started right away, with the Israeli Air Force claiming that they had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian battle ship. As a result, Israel agreed to pay compensation as mentioned in the article:
In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.

The coverup is that it wasn’t an accident, the source is Haaretz
That’s a conspiracy. It’s not plausible at all why they would attack the US and then immediately agree to pay for compensation.
