I wonder why the isrealis came to the ship's aid as soon as they stopped attacking it . What was their motive in attacking it in the first place ?
I've never bought that conspiracy theory.
Isreal is being beseiged on all sides in the full scale war in 1967 and in the midst of this they deliberately go to war with their greatest and most powerfull ally ?
That would be like the Phillipines knowingly and willfully attacking the US in WWII .
I'm sorry but it just doesn't add up .
Soviet union was well entrenched in that war, they had migs painted with egyptian markings, SAM batteries etc., we all know the history . So you can imagine the alarm of the isrealis when the fighter pilots ID'd the boat as soviet .
Here is a link that offers a better insight into that day .
