Secondly, planes do travel fast and high but it was said by survivors in the earlier links I posted that they travelled over them several times. I don't believe for one second they missed them that many times and the first things they shot at were the machine gun tubs on board and the antennas. They saw enough to see there were people on the machine gun tubs but couldn't see their American flag? or that the Navy ship was not armed at all with anything other than machine guns?. One would think if they were attacking the enemy they'd at least know what kind of fire power they were facing.

I could have predicted several hundred posts ago that this would be brought up as it is used by pretty much all anti Israel propagandists - even though it means absolutely nothing today in regards to this conflict. There unfortunately will always be friendly fire incidents, including more recently the Tarnak incident and events involving Maj. Christopher Lunney.
Israel absolutely destroyed that ship on purpose. They aimed weapons, torpedos and bombs at it, killing and injuring many American soldiers. Israel did this completely on purpose, thinking it was not an American ship. There were lessons learned from this.
Unfortunately, as has been demonstrated over and over again in this thread, war sucks and accidents happen. The fact you drag this out shows more about where you get your 'facts; ' from than anything else you have posted.
