Specifically, the use of ordnance completed unsuited to antiship work (most notably napalm) Huh? How does that support the accident claim? Why would they be inclined to attack an Egyptian ship with napalm but not an American one?

How does that support the accident claim?If it was a deliberate, preplanned attack with intent to sink the ship, the Israelis would NOT have used napalm; it is singularly ineffective against ships.
