the ramming of the medical supply boat, not a smart move on the part of the Israelis.

As the story was told by one side - without video, even though reporters were on board (suspicious) - no not a good PR move.

I suspect there is quite a bit more to the story. Obviously, if Israel is going to be engaged in a war, they would want to have some kind of control over shipping into the region. I would think they would be inspecting every vessel entering the area and given the biased nature of media, I suspect a simple "boarding" became "ramming" by virtue of media translation.

Of course, if you have to ram the boat to keep Cynthia McKinney from getting anywhere near you, it is probably the right thing to do.
