Sounds very speculative, I see a different narrative.
First half-hour of Liberty attack indicates intent to sink.
However, evidence is that Liberty's internal comms ability had also been scuttled in advance (i.e. to prevent their warning others, so that the attack could be completed). Sailors then successfully rewired their radio and unexpectedly put out distress calls. After this, Israel called off the attack and it was rewritten as a mistaken flag.
That information, plus the generic handling and situation, indicates US and Israel had agreed on another Lusitania or AZ-CA-OK-WV, with the purpose of entering US into the 6-Day War as if attacked by Egypt. When the surviving sailors foiled that plan, a backup story had to be swerved to. I couldn't find a great wrap but here is Roger Stone blaming LBJ on it.

AZ-CA-OK-WV?
All were sunk like the Lusitania, or the Maine (ME) for that matter, on 1941-12-07.
Ah. Pearl.
FDR's great ignoring to help his loan-shark buddies ...
