How were the soldiers expected to know what was on board?
All they knew was that the organisation claimed that they only had relief stuff on board.
Would you trust a safety check at an airport where everyone just claims whether he/she has weapons/explosives etc. with him/her? Or would you rather trust in a safety check that deserves that name?
@Merchant Raider
Have you ever been attacked with a baseball bat or similar weapon?
This things can kill and even if they don't they are more than enough to fracture your bones. I would so like to see you in the situation of those soldiers and stay calm and saying: Hey, everything is cool, it's just bats and rods.

Are you saying that Israelis have knowledge of all cargo that is approaching their harbors? Well why didn't they ask the Turkish to inspect the ships then, shouldn't have been too difficult. I mean, if they managed to sabotage some ships, a simple phone call shouldn't be too difficult.
If the commandoes didn't want to put themselves on harms way they should've stayed out of a ship sailing in international waters. They were lucky they were only attacked with non-lethal force and not lethal which would have been ok too.
