Sure, you can defend yourself, but to me its kind of a stupidity move to do it against a heavily armed boarding team.

I don't know if this boat was just defending itself. The video clearly shows at least two IDF soldiers on the ground being beaten by pipes and other blunt objects. A third one arrives from above. He is also being beaten by a pipe. Despite the fact he is armed, he does not use his gun for anything other than physically blocking the pipe.
Quite frankly I don't know what these protestors expected to happen. If me and my closest 100 friends swarmed an army patrol and then stripped them of their weapons to use on the soldiers, I would expect them to use deadly force at some point.
