WOW... do you make assumptions like this in all aspects of your life? He was "dropping in" to take control of the ship. Aren't these peace activists? Ok so they had reason to believe that there would be no incident. But just in case, they came with a painball gun as a primary and a pistol as a back up. I believe that these soldiers thought they would drop in and face some verbal abuse... There is no way they knew what was going to happen and still did a 1 rope drop. If they knew there was violence in the future.. things would have been handled differently. So for you, John Doe sitting safely behind your desk... You are going to tell the world what these guys knew and thought... Pathetic!

You my fellow human are dilusional. Look up "munitions found in aid shipment" It was found in 2009 and there were TONS of weapons. Israel wanted to stop the ship and direct it to their port. The ship WOULD NOT COMPLY! So they have to assume that their intentions are hostile. There is ZERO proof that they shot from the choppers. As far as the facts go (as of right now) the first act of violence was from the "peace" activists attacking the soldiers as they repeled into the deck. Dont you think there is a chance that (Just like any maritime vessel stop) the shots they are saying that the IDF fired, were just shots accross the bow to get the ship to stop? Of course you wont agree that this is possible.. This will add no fuel to the fire, you and others want to start.I truely hope that Gaza gets weapons.. I hope they use them.. Then I hope the well placed bombs and rockets clear enough space in Gaza/Lebanon/Syria/Turkey/Iran.. The 6 day war might take 12 with some new players...

I've watched the video and all I see is some guys that llok like mercs repelling from a chopper and illegally boarding a merchant ship in International waters. You can't see much in the video but I'm sure those israelis pulled thier guns and provoked a fighta nd got it, maybe more than they bargained for since they are crying about it so much. Are we to believe that it's every terrorists MO to be carrying thousands of dollars in cash every time he attacks someone or something. That's rather silly isn't it? Carrying big wads of cash in your pocket 24/7 no matter what you're doing. Do you know anyone stupid enough to do that? And by the way, last I heard about 80% of our news media is owned and run by rich jewish people. Oops, did I imply something?! Nah, just stating the facts, the slanted news implies very well on it's own.
