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.

“An Arab, a Cowboy and a Red Indian are standing next to the bus while the driver fixes the flat tire.

So they start talking. The Red Indian says, “Ah, once my people were many but now we are few!”

Then the Arab says, “Ah, once my people were few and now we are many!”

To which the Cowboy replies to the Arab, “Shiite! That’s cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet!!””

Despite what Daniel Pipes wrote earlier, this episode should not be considered a mistake" by Israel.
 
I agree with the article above.
 
This was a statement by Israel, and a welcome one from here.

Maybe so, but Bibi had damned well better stand FIRM and not allow politics and the left-wing media to cause Israel to end the blockade.
