I come down in the middle on this one....while I think the embargo of the Gaza is heavy-handed and overreaching, it's pretty clear the folks in the flotilla were seeking confrontation. Well, they got one. I have little sympathy for people who seek confrontation to make a point, then complain when they get exactly what they ask for.

I would say the commando's were seeking confrontation guns a blazing against an international contingent in international waters. I don't see anything to be in the middle about. The blockade is the issue not the so called "terrorist" flotilla. The Netanyahu reactionary gov't is defending an illegal blockade which you yourself admit is "heavy handed" and "overreaching"..one that precludes delivery of cement, coriander, and freakin marmalade..
