I know the the people doing the findings will be 'fair' and 'unbiased':UN panel launches impartial inquiry over flotilla crisis - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review
It was one key demand of Turkey.
Next key demand is for Israel to accept its findings and follow accordingly.
No Goldstone "putting it under carpet" this time.
You realize that UN probes never reflect reality, in fact the only reason Israel would want to be involved is to influence the results in its favor, while at the same time the Muslim nations will try and put it in theirs.Israel agrees in principal to UN flotilla probe committee
(...) Barak made the announcement during his recent trip to New York.

BBC News - Israel to co-operate with UN probe into Gaza flotillaIsrael has announced it will co-operate with a UN investigation into its raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in May.
"Israel has nothing to hide, the opposite is true," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Both sides are also looking ahead to the coming US elections on November 2nd, weeks after the next Freedom Flotilla sets sail for Gaza with aid vessels from around the world, including one from the US.
A US-flagged ship with the name "Audacity of Hope" might give Greater Israel good reason to think twice about murdering nine more innocents on the high seas.
Of course the US flag didn't stop Israel from killing 34 Americans on the USS Liberty in 1967.

Innocents? Bullshit. Once they took up arms, even if they were crappy ones they became combatants.
It wasnt murder, it was combat. fight soldiers and you run the chance of getting killed. Look at all the other boats with ZERO casualties. One boat decided to repel boarders, and they paid for it.

Israel uses that excuse all the time. Israel attacks village. Twelve year old kid throws stones. Israel has the right to shoot the kid in the head.

I'm discussing the so called innocents on the flotilla boat, your strawman argument doesnt make sense. Hush you, adults are trying to have a discussion.

OK. Israel attacks ship. ship's members hit them with sticks. Israel has the right to shoot them in the head.

Much. And its not the Soldiers fault the weapons were primative. And if by "Sticks" you mean metal poles, knives and all sorts of other weapons, then yes.
It all boils down to if you think the boarding was legal. Since you dont, its not really worth debating with you tactics et al.

Turkey demanded that Israel apologize for the deaths of nine Turkish activists, compensate those injured, lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip and accept an international investigation.
"Everything was made with Turkish agreement," a senior official in Jerusalem said. "Hopefully the combination of lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip and establishing an international investigation will meet the Turkish demands and lead to a restoration of ties."
