I agree with you that there is no evidence to suggest that there was indiscriminate strafing of the people on the boat. That's just pure hyperbole from desperate anti-Israeli partisans. But some of your reasons for why it didn't happen are just extreme exaggerations, albeit passionate ones.

But there would still be blood on the ship.
Another question is why were the other 5 ships boarded peacefully? I suppose the 'truth' according to puckluck would be that Israel only choose to fire on one ship.
And there is absolutely no evidence showing that.
If Israel is to be blamed for anything, its that they actually went to board the ships. They could have just blocked them out and refused to let them through. Or at least wait till the people get tired and settle down.
But once they went ahead with the boarding procedures, I honestly believe they had no choice but to act the way they did.
