Y'know.. what were these folks expecting? They were told OVER AND OVER AGAIN that they would not be permitted to land in Gaza. So they provoked an incident.... It would have behooved them to passively protest (with cameras a blazing) when the Israeli commandoes boarded their ships. It certainly isn't smart to directly attack them and provoke them into a self-defense mode where people might get hurt. The Israelis have the indisputable video evidence showing their commandos being attacked as they rope down to the ships deck. They had to defend themselves. You're not a "peace activist" is you're partaking in violence. Hawk
