IDF: Soldiers were met by well-planned lynch, concealed handguns.
Armed Navy ships escorted boats from the Gaza protest flotilla to Ashdod on Monday afternoon, hours after IDF soldiers and activists clashed in a fatal raid.
International activists aboard the ships opened fire on IDF soldiers who boarded the ships to prevent them from breaking the Israeli-imposed sea blockade, the IDF said Monday.

They will unload the ship and find a butt-load of weapons.
At least one counter to the liberal/fascist news propaganda is to simply refer to the individuals on the ships as what they really were - armed brigands - not activists, and certainly not “peace” activists.
Well I hope Israel learned a valuable lesson with this. DON’T GIVE UP YOUR LAND! Turning Gaza over to Hamas was about as dumb as it gets, why they thought it would turn out any different than what is happening in Lebanon is beyond me. Why give your enemy to opportunity to lob missiles from both your northern AND southern borders is stupid. The Muslims will be wailing and gnashing their teeth for months because of this and of course the MSM is spinning it for the Muslims so the entire world will condemn the Israelis.
I don’t think so. This was the test flotilla. The weapons would have been on the next flotilla after the Israelis gave up on this one. Didn’t work out that way.
Exactly......No guns this time. But next time yes
If you want to see a peaceful flag, take a look at Saudi Arabia`s flag.

Here it is.
If they were serious, they’d kill ‘em all.
Israel should retake Gaza and the West Bank and evict the current muslim population from its borders.
International Peace Activists Open Fire.
People unclear on the concept.
I don't work for the Rand Corp, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...
Test Fotilla for what is the question....
Remember the Nazi's considered a boat into NY harbor aka a dirty bomb or enough radiation to make people sick, with the level of atomic weaponary towards the end of the war as they were desperate and didn't have the bomb yet.....
So what do these "Peace Activist" have up their sleeves as a Proxy for Iran next time?
Talk about a floating Trojan Horse...
I can see a concerted effort elsewhere on the Internet to frame the Israelis as villains.
No. Actually, I don't remember that.
Can you point to a source?
I can’t remember a source...
I would bet there are no weapons in the cargw though there may be some among the more dedicated jihadists aboard. The perps knew there was a very good chance of being captured and would prefer the propaganda value of “harmless humanitarian supplies.” Thinking back on it, i wonder why a couple of the boats were not wired to explode so that “Jews Blow Up Peaceful Humanitarians” could be the worldwide headlines or “Israelis Sink Innocent Flotilla.”
S,f and b?
Yeah.
