The news here are werry carefull what they put out abóut this.
First information about this was that the activists on board attackedc the boarding soldiers with metal pipes and clubs...
Other information talks about a 6 hour gunfight with 4 of the boarders wounded...
I realy dont think on the details about who did what, What gets to me is that it happend in international waters. That detail is the key. If the information about the ship was in international waters then Israel is not one bit better than the somali pirates...
An attack like this in international waters would in the past result in millitay actions from the owner of the ship against the foe. This push the free movement at sea right into the trash can, if there is no actions against it.
I dont care what they do in national waters, but they have to respect international waters. In national waters they could blow the darn ship up with no problem......But that is and should not be alowed in international waters...
