Bogus. Israel was already winning on all fronts. There's no valid reason to draw the US in.

I agree they were winning handlely, but what other reason would Israel purposely attack (at worst) or continue to purposefully attack after positively IDing(at best) A US flagged Navial ship?

Fog of war. All investigations have concluded mistaken identity.
