I think both sides are pretty much trigger happy don't you?

Oh I agree, I want both sides, but how is it over aggressive if the IDF boarding party was attacked when they boarded the boat? At that point it becomes a defense action.

Sure thats why I want both sides, but watching the video's the IDF came under attack first.

Lets wait and see, there were reports of assembled and deployable weapons. I'm pretty well guessing that once that ship reaches port its going to be ripped down to the bottom. If there were no weapons shipments there Israel will take a black eye on this. However neither side is on the side of angels.
