So the Hamas-loving peaceniks got the fight they wanted – along with it, comes the massive negative public relations campaign against the Israelis that they’ve long been supporting. The details are still emerging, but it seems pretty clear that the Israelis asked the activists, who were ostensibly there to support the terrorist group, to pull into the Ashdod port or allow the Israelis to board. The activists refused. And so the Israelis boarded the boat bound for its land.
The Israelis boarded carrying paint ball guns, to ensure that minimum damage could be done, but with pistols for back up. Upon boarding, the Israelis were immediately met by an unruly gang that prepared to lynch or kidnap soldiers, swinging metal poles, utilizing stun guns and fire throwers, and literally throwing the Israels. The so called peaceniks stole the soldiers’ pistols, and began shooting. In self defense, the Israelis fired back, unfortunately killing at least ten.
