It is common for Arabs to fly other countries flags to evade detection. I am sure the Israeli's waved when the first saw the flag. But after they called into the Fleet Command of the US and were told that there were no American Ships in the area, I am sure they attacked with a vengance.
Wouldn't you?
I think you are blinded by your agenda.

The Israelis knew of every seaworthy ship in the area, and the only Egyptian ship was an out of comission horse carrier. A sophistocated surveillance ship does NOT look like a broken down old horse carrier. The Israelis also knew an American surveillance ship was in the area. When they got close to the ship, there were a bunch of white guys. Arabs don't look white. They machine gunned those in the boats.
"I think you are blinded by your agenda."
You said that exact thing to the last guy who disagreed with you, even though there is ample information supporting this. Maybe you have an agenda. But I will agree to disagree. You are entitled to your opinion.
