Eyewitness accounts from ships raided by Israeli commandos have cast doubt on Israel's version of events that led to the deaths of at least 10 people.
German pro-Palestinian activist Norman Paech said he had only seen wooden sticks being brandished as troops abseiled on to the deck of the ship.
Israel says its soldiers were attacked with "knives, clubs and other weapons" and opened fire in self defence.
The raid led to widespread condemnation and the UN has called for an inquiry.

Even if true... stupid people; Don't bring a stick to a gunfight. Suicide by IDF.
Hey, for those non-muslim members of the party of useful idiots; Do they get the 72 virgins anyway since they died for Mohamed?
This is all a set up. These “activist” groups (just like other terrorist groups) know that the media will go right along with their Anti Semitic sentiments.
If there are any Jewish supporters of these types of “activist” organizations, you really need to wake up.
These people aren’t about helping the environment or bringing equality, they are about destroying establishment and instilling chaos in an ordered society.
What a vile piece of propaganda. No author byline or comments allowed. This is the face of true fascism.
Well that right there says to me the guy is a great big liar.
Gee, the BBC condemning Israel. What a shocker!
Total BS. WATCH the video, don’t let bigoted liars with an agenda get away with lying like this.
I’m glad the BBC can find a pro-palestinian “activist” to give her unbiased account.
Lies in German are still lies.
These people aren’t witnesses. They’re perpetrators. Terrorist supporters. They have zero credibility.
pro-Palestinian witness. nuff said

These flotilla terrorists are lucky the Israelis didn’t employ the Russians’ Somali Pirate Treatment.
“German pro-Palestinian activist”
Why, a German pro-Palestinian activist has to be credible when it comes to attacking Jews.
I mean, who could be trusted more than a German pro-Palestinian activist to tell the truth about Jews?
Especially given the long history of love for Jews the Germans and arabs have shown.
I guess that you can’t really hurt anyone with a club, can you?
I know, as soon as it says “pro-Palestinian activists” I stop reading.
The people on these boats loathe Israel and the Israelis. These are not, in any sense, reliable witnesses.
” but they got suckered into punching a tar baby. “
This reference may be meaningless to some of our younger members who were born after the “Uncle Remus” stories (parables, actually) were consigned to the dustbin of Political Correctness...
These witnesses are not lying, but are practicing their religion. In its most gracious definition, taqiyya is defined as “sanctified hypocrisy.” As practiced in this case, lies told in support of their definition of Islam is a pure action.
