read the BBC account.

You know......you guys are really, really starting to scare me. The two excerpts below are from the BBC account........I don't see how you can interpret them as glossing over the fact that there were Israelis guards on the ship:

"The captain of an Italian cruise ship has given the BBC a dramatic account of how his crew fended off a pirate attack near the coast of Somalia."

<cut out>

"Capt Pinto told the BBC that the pirates had tried to hijack his ship late on Saturday, about 290km (180 miles) north of Victoria in the Seychelles.

"One white small boat with six people on board approached the port [left] side of the ship and started shooting."

The captain said the pirates fired some 200 shots at the vessel before being repelled by Israeli security guards.

He said "our security started shooting in the air... and also we started spraying some water" to beat off the attackers."
