Reply #204: Here is a clearer video.

It is very obvious from this video that the IDF commandos were attacked after they landed on the ship. Now you can say that the passengers on the ship had a right to attack the IDF, and you can say that Israel was wrong to attempt to stop the ships in international waters, but there can be no dispute that for better or worse an attack against the IDF commandos did take place once they tried to board the ship.

I really do think that there is a possibility that this was a setup and that the occupants of that ship knew they would be boarded by the Israelis and had planned this.

If you have an anti Israeli agenda you are going to put one particular spin on this, and if you have an opposite agenda you will have another spin. But after something like this I think we need to strive to get all of the facts first rather than jumping to any conclusions one way or the other. I support the Obama Administration's decision to approach this affair with caution.
