How is it a 'false flag'? There is no dispute that it was an Israeli attack. Israel claims it was a mistake, that is what is disputed.

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$23.4 million in 2017) to the U.S. government in compensation to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($23.8 million in 2017) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($17.8 million in 2017) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest.[8]
