2017, and this last week marked the 50th anniversary of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty, which killed 34 US sailors, wounded another 174, and decimated the ship. Israel was never investigated or charged for this clear attack and it was covered up by the US Government.
The attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 was one of the earliest examples of a False Flag attack.
Israel deliberately attacked the ship then tried to pin the blame on Egypt so that the Americans would join in the 6 Day War in support of Israel.
The issue is that Israel was caught staging the event and it's been hidden and covered up for the last 50 years.

Here's a trailer for funding a full-length feature film of the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack of the USS Liberty
Names of those who have little doubt that the attack was deliberately staged:
-- Lieutenant General Marshall S. Carter, director of the National Security Agency at the time: “There was no other answer than it was deliberate.”
-- Richard Helms, Director of Central Intelligence at the time: “It was no accident.” “Your chapter on the Liberty was exactly right.”
-- Dr. Louis Tordella, the deputy director of NSA at the time: “I believed the attack might have been ordered by some senior commander on the Sinai Peninsula [where the massacres were taking place] who wrongly suspected that the Liberty was monitoring his activities.” . . . “Consideration was being given by some unnamed Washington authorities to sink the Liberty in order that newspaper men would be unable to photograph her and thus inflame public opinion against the Israelis” Tordella wrote in memo for the record. “I made an impolite comment about that idea.” Tordella also scrawled across the top page of the formal Israeli “mistake” report, “A nice whitewash.”
-- Major General John Morrison, NSA deputy director of Operations at the time: “Nobody believes that explanation. The only conjecture that we ever made that made any near sense is that the Israelis did not want us to intercept their communications at that time.”
-- Walter Deeley, the senior NSA official who conducted an internal NSA investigation of the incident: “There is no way that they didn't know that the Liberty was American.”
-- Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I have to conclude that it was Israel's intent to sink the Liberty and leave as few survivors as possible. Israel knew perfectly well that the ship was American.”
-- Captain William L. McGonnagle, the Liberty's commander: “After many years I finally believe that the attack was deliberate.”
-- Phillip F. Tourney, president of the USS Liberty Veterans Association and a survivor of the attack: “The Israelis got by with cold-blooded, premeditated murder of Americans.”
-- George Christian, press secretary to President Johnson at the time: “I became convinced that an accident of this magnitude was too much to swallow.”
-- Paul C. Warnke, Under Secretary of the Navy at the time: “I found it hard to believe that it was, in fact, an honest mistake on the part of the Israeli air force units.... I suspect that in the heat of battle they figured that the presence of this American ship was inimical to their interests.”
-- Dean Rusk, Secretary of State at the time: “The Liberty was flying an American flag. It was not all that difficult to identify, and my judgment was that somewhere along the line some fairly senior Israeli official gave the go-ahead for these attacks.”
-- David G. Nes, the deputy head of the American mission in Cairo at the time: “I don't think that there's any doubt that it was deliberate.... [It is] one of the great cover-ups of our military history.”
-- George Ball, Under Secretary of State at the time: “American leaders did not have the courage to punish Israel for the blatant murder of its citizens.”

At the height of the six-day war in 1967, Israel attacked a US spy ship, killing 34 men and injuring many more. The Israelis claimed it was an accident, the Americans backed them up. But, as James Bamford reveals in his new book, both governments concealed the horrific truth ......

FIFTY YEARS LATER, NSA KEEPS DETAILS OF ISRAEL’S USS LIBERTY ATTACK SECRET.....
.....This week marks the 50th anniversary of the assault on the USS Liberty, and though it was among the worst attacks in history against a noncombatant U.S. naval vessel, the tragedy remains shrouded in secrecy. The question of if and when Israeli forces became aware they were killing Americans has proved a point of particular contention in the on-again, off-again public debate that has simmered over the last half a century. The Navy Court of Inquiry’s investigation proceedings following the incident were held in closed sessions, and the survivors who had been on board received gag orders forbidding them to ever talk about what they endured that day......

... Now, half a century later, The Intercept is publishing two classified documents provided in the cache of files leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden related to the attack and its aftermath. They reveal previously unknown involvement by Government Communications Headquarters, the U.K. signals intelligence agency; internal NSA communications that seem to bolster a signals intelligence analyst’s account of the incident, which framed it as an accident; as well as a Hebrew transliteration system unique to the NSA that was in use at least as recently as 2006......
The first document, a formerly unreleased NSA classification guide, details which elements of the incident the agency still regarded as secret as of 2006. The second lists a series of unauthorized signals intelligence disclosures that “have had a detrimental effect on our ability to produce intelligence against terrorist targets and other targets of national concern.” Remarkably, information relevant to the attack on the Liberty falls within this highly secret category.
