“I thought the U.S. had condemned Israel with regard to the boarding incident.”

Can’t beat video. Especially the real stuff, not Pallywood/BBC etc. fabrications.

Anti-Semitism is stupid, but here it is reaching extremes of delusions. The left wing obsession with Israel’s “blockade” versus Egypt’s complete blockade, and Arab brother no less, cannot be well explained other than anti-Semitic obsessiveness. Or that they fear the Egyptians will shoot them but the Israelis will not, and because the Isrealis broke their assumptions, they are outraged.

I agree Shermy. And you know what, we’re hearing about the one ship where there was trouble. What about the others where there wasn’t any trouble? Did they board more than one ship? I’d be surprised if they didn’t.

If so, it puts the lie to the idea Israel went in guns blazing. The sixth ship could have been just as peaceful as the others.

Six ships boarded, only one resisted.  That's what Al Jazeera says.

Of the 682 people from 42 countries aboard the six ships that were raided, 380 are believed to be Turkish.

The unmistakable fact is, Israel did not go in guns blazing.  Five ships were boarded without incident.  Only one ship had a crew intent on resisting Israeli commandos.

This was premeditated, and Israel had no choice.
