The only thing the sailors would know is that they were under attack. No one disputes it was the Israelis, but it is a completely different thing to contend that it was deliberate. It was a tragic accident, as all credible persons have indicated.

"Fog of war" is very real (even more so in 1967 than now), and your efforts to deny it serve only to highlight a dire lack of understanding in military affairs.

There was a very informative thread on this on DU1. The Magistrate and Lithos (one of the FA/NS Moderators) both presented a compelling case in support of the position that it was merely a tragic accident, despite the best efforts of certain people who have axes to grind against Israel.
