And I disagree with their interpretation. The activists on the ship came ready for a fight, and they started it. If they're upset with how it ended up, too bad.
Seriously? Knowing they would face the navy and special forces of the IDF, they "came ready for a fight" by arming themselves with iron bars?
If they'd come ready for a fight, they'd have brought surface to air missiles.
The footage released vindicates the commandos by showing that the "activists" were preparing for a fight with weapons hours before the raid. And that they attacked first. And that the captain of the ship asked them to stop resisting.
They attacked first?
What, you mean that they hit the commandos before they technically boarded their vessel? When they were within arms reach of boarding their vessel?
The captain of the ship had not given permission to board. The Israeli special forces were boarding without permission.
And let's not even consider the final toll of injured or dead. Let's concentrate on the barbaric treatment ... beating! ... and throwing overboard! ... of the military personnel under Israeli command who committed an act of piracy.
Let's concentrate on that, not on the killed and injured civilians when the heroic Israelis, who just happened to be there on the ship and flying above in helicopters, defended themselves with the improvised weapons they found lying around.
