RussiaToday said:International condemnation is growing after the Israeli Navy attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid and peace activists to Gaza. Reports say up to 20 people were killed and dozens injured as Israeli commandos stormed the vessels over a hundred kilometres off Gaza's coast. Some of the ships are now being towed to the Israeli port city of Ashdod.
If they were peaceful activists why were Israeli soldiers hurt?
They were attacked in international waters. The activists defended themselves. They have the right to do this.
it would appear you do not know about the armed IDF soldiers who assaulted the vessel using ropes dropped from hovering helicopters to illegally board the ship in international watersDefend themslves from what? I would say they were terrorist wanting to kill Jews. In order to defend yourself you must be afraid of being harmed there is no evidence the Israelis wantd to harm anyone.

But what did they defend themselves with? Why did they have weapons on the ship in the first place if they were heading into Gaza, where they knew full well there was a blockade?
Oh, and how do YOU know if they "were attacked" before or after they "defended" themselves? Were you on the boat?
apologies if i confused you. in the military 'air assault' training is that which teaches soldiers to conduct an assault using ropes lofted from rotary wing aircraftSorry, ropes are not an "assault" unless they were used to whip the crew on board.
in your view those who were aboard the ship outside of israeli waters being assaulted by the israeli forces were wrong to defend themselves from such assault by armed soldiersThese guys knew full well about the blockade when they set off for Gaza. They knew full well they were going to be boarded just like every other Gaza-bound ship. If they "defended" themselves from that with physical force, then this is 100% the flotilla's fault.
No, but neither were you

you do realize that you are advocating cowardice - don't you?
I'm saying that the crew had every reason in the world to believe that they would be stopped just like every other ship, and made a choice to put themselves in that situation. At the very least, they clearly WANTED to incite trouble so they could "defend" themselves. That isn't bravery, it's being morons.
you have to wonder why 1 ship out of 6 from the same flotilla would react violently. Apparently the other 5 ships encountered no such problem with the Israelis. To me, that makes the one ship where this violence occured suspect.

I don't think they sailed in hopes they would be shot and killed by Israelis.
Exactly 5 of the ships were decoy's for the 6th ship which was trying to smuggle weapons to the Muslim terrorist pigs in Gaza
