I want more information to come out before I condemn either side. As is the most common situation, it was likely mistakes made on both sides. Over-aggressive brainwashed Zionist commandos versus messiah-complex, martyr wannabe "peace" activists.
If the "humanitarian" workers attacked me with pipes and such, I'd open fire, too. If, however, a bunch of souped-up commandos opened fire on me, I'd attack 'em, too. So it can go both ways.
We need more info. Also, there have been no reports of there being firearms on the ship. Just pipes and knives.

Really? They are soldiers doing thier job just like Canadian soldiers in Afganistan.
I take offense to this as my son-in-law is Israeli Special Forces. My daughter met him while travelling in India and they married 2 yrs later.
Your generalizations couldn't be further from the truth as we meet many members of his 'unit' when we were there for the wedding.
