My favorite part:
Calm down guys. It's just anti-semitism. Damn anti-semites.
I also liked his assertion that the ONLY way you can believe facts is if you can answer the question "why would Israel want to do this?". Which has a pretty damn obvious answer - to draw the US into the war (or simply give them a reason to give the public). Not that it needs an answer, when you have a recording of an Israeli pilot saying "But it's an American ship. I can see the flag." Before bombing the damn boat...

My favorite part:
Sounds like something the CIA would do, to get an excuse to "liberate" a country that has strategic resources (the Suez Canal in this case)

Yeah I definitely believe that line of argument. And likely Israel was a means of accomplishing it, since I doubt an American would fire on an American ship, orders or otherwise.

Anti-semitism and conspiracy theories go hand in hand.
