Possible contradiction to the Israeli position that it was self-defense

http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0531/raw-video-reporter-claims-israelis-fired-activists-boarding-ship/ - Looks like an AJ reporter, on the flotilla during the raid, was reporting that there was one dead from live fire BEFORE they boarded the ship. Check the video embedded in the article.

If the Israelis fired on the vessel prior to boarding, the attacks by the people on the ship become much more defensible.

The resistance is not really defensible anyway. If you resist with no hope of winning you will just get all your shipmates killed.--173.85.4.109 (talk) 17:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

really good reasoning, always give up the fight if things start to get ugly. The only downside is that all things like the american revolution are never going to happen. But hey! At least no accident happened and no one will be paying attention. By the way all this mess happened because Israel fucked up completely on managing the situation, they could have stopped the ships in others ways or sent people who know how to deal with riots without resorting to deadly force. I really have the impression that today Israel leadership don't know how to resolve the extremism on both part.
