What else is new?? The author of your piece is always writing something derogatory about Israel. Tell us why no one was harmed on the other boats when they peacefully let the Israelis come aboard and inspect the cargo. Some of those on the boat in question were saying they wanted to be martyrs before they set sail so no doubt they had violence in mind.
"It is a curious thing that few people asked the Israeli government why they would release 'terrorists' that they had in their custody, and even fewer asked for (or received) solid evidence to support this claim."

What legal authority did the Jews have to board a vessel in international waters, the same mandate they used to murder 34 US Service members aboard the
USS Liberty in 1968? If that one's to tough for you, tell me why your heroes opened fire from their helicopter BEFORE they came under attack? Then tell me why the "terrorist/martyrs" didn't murder three commandos they had captured?
Ken O'Keefe, a former US Marine, was one of the defenders of the Mavi Marmara when Israel attacked the vessel in international waters on MEMORIAL DAY 2010:
"I and hundreds of others know the truth that makes a mockery of the brave and moral Israeli military.
"We had in our full possession, three completely disarmed and helpless commandos.
"These boys were at our mercy,
they were out of reach of their fellow murderers, inside the ship and surrounded by 100 or more men.
"I looked into the eyes of all three of these boys and I can tell you they had the fear of God in them.
They looked at us as if we were them, and I have no doubt they did not believe there was any way they would survive that day.
"They looked like frightened children in the face of an abusive father."
