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.

Good point and good post.

And of course our fair and balanced MSM fails to notice the spontaneous eruptions at Israeli consulates and embassies in Europe and Turkey and the immediate press releases by damascus, Ankara and Hezbollah denouncing the raid on the peaceful aid flotilla! It just happened near simultaneously by accident. No collusion here. No concerted attack against Israel Just the big, bad mean Israeli’s picking on peace loving aid workers.

I absolutely love Israel's response to the world's condemnation of this incident: "Next time we'll use more force." Now THAT'S send a message! I absolutely love that kind of attitude. If only we were still like that here in America. The Conservative Beacon
