I just read an article I found on LGF. It discusses the accidental Israeli attack on a US ship during the six day war in 1967. Basically, there was bad luck and mistakes on both sides, and some miscommunication; Israel thought it was an enemy ship, and attacked (and figured out its mistake and offered assistance without even sinking the ship). Bad stuff happens in war. Oh well v_v (sad face, like ^_^ but reversed).
Except, that's not the end of the story. Apparently, there are a lot of conspiracy theory loonies out there, including US government officials, who think Israel intentionally attacked the US ship. How absurd! Said loonies piss me off.
If anyone disagrees, please write a comment.

why did those people think Israel intentionally attacked US?
anti-semitism.
There were mistakes on both sides, and sorting that sort of thing out requires attention to detail. Many people find it easier to trust their first guess, and for anti-Semites "the Jews did it" is always the first guess.
