This is nonsense. The event was clearly staged to draw attention to the blockade, but to claim that the people on those boats wanted to die is silly.
Of course, in binary world, everything is simple: if you are against the blockade, the gaza incursion, the profiteering that goes on because of the blockade, the evictions of Palestinians without recourse to create more settlements, etc. you must be for Hamas and terrorism, right?
Meanwhile, in this whole "Israel was defending itself" hysteria, we've yet to hear anyone actually defend the blockade as it is (you know, the blockade that bans notebooks and pens, not the fantasy blockade that people have in mind).
