  The 6 day Israel-Arab war. A casualty was encourred and Israel pleaded it was an accidental casualty of war. They made concessions.

  The gulf of tonkin. Not a casualty but a calculated attack.

    Yep complete accident. Have you read any of the reports? The ship was broadcasting it’s nationality in every way possible. The only way it was a mistake was if the Israelis turned off all of their communications and fired with their eyes closed.

      Yes indeed I did. It’s completely false the ship was broadcasting nationality in every way possible. The ship wasn’t even suppose to be as close as it was because they were experiencing multiple communication failures. Nice bullshit comment though.

        The ship was in international waters and clearly not a warship. That orders to move away given in an abundance of caution didn’t arrive in time has no bearing on the situation. It should not have been attacked for that reason alone. Pilots were clearly able to identify the ship as there are several recorded exchanges in Israeli headquarters about it being an American ship occurred before it was attacked and visual contact with pilots was their only contact with Israeli forces until they were attacked.

        Once there was an attempt at communication, the response was ignored and they were torpedoed anyways. There’s no way to interpret this as anything other than a brazen and willing war crime.
