To me the event is quite black and white. Ship was told to stop, ship was given instructions for a peaceful compromise, ship didn't listen, ship ignored a blockade put in place by Israel AND Egypt, ship was boarded by commandos, passengers got violent, began beating commandos, commandos defended themselves and people died.

Out of all the reports, I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Now, what is debatable is whether or not the ship had weapons or not.

But you do realize of course that 6 ships were boarded, right? How many of them were violent in the process?
Which is exactly what I said earlier. Why was this one ship violent, especially when it didn't JUST have a bunch of Hamas-sympathizing Palestinians on it? Germany has already confirmed that they had citizens on it.
