You just linked to YouTube's homepage, and a claim like that really needs a good source.
Cuz like, to be a false flag, they'd have had to try and blame it on someone else...
Israel didn't try to hide the fact they did it, or blame it on anyone else. They just said they thought it was Egypt's and tried to destroy it.
That's just not a false flag
Bruh...
Look at the title of the video, a fucking 4chan meme popped up as the thumbnail even...
That's not a good enough source for a claim like that. It's just shitty YouTube videos some random person made. And as bad as Israel is, you still have to be careful because lots of people dislike Israel because they dislike people who are Jewish, they don't have a problem with the genocide of Muslims.
I'm not comfortable leaving those video links up, because it seems like that's the type of people that made them.

The video is filled to the brim with direct quotes from people involved in the matter. Such as the CIA Director Richard Helms

But Israel would have still have needed to try and blame it on someone else for it to be a false flag.
Israel intentionally attacking an American ship isn't a false flag. It's fucked up, but that's not what "false flag" is.
A screenshot of a YouTube video that has a screen shot of an unsourced document ain't proof of anything.
All documents presented in the video are quoted and attributed properly. No article does a better job at presenting the facts than the video I linked. Its sourcing is top tier.
There's plenty of fragmented articles such as
But they don't piece the whole story together nearly as neatly.
