I'm not debating any attack coming from the choppers, to be honest I don't really know much about that. Would you like to give me the post number that explains that part of this story, dippin?
A large part of the debate was whether the activists had attacked the Israeli's first, right? Isn't it possible that the activists attacked the Israeli's with knives, provoking the commandos to use deadly force in self defense?

Even the israelis, who confiscated everything on the boats, acknowledge there were no guns on the boat. The only guns the people on the boat eventually got were the ones they got from the 2 soldiers.
Trying to board a ship in international waters IS an attack, so by definition the Israelis attacked first.
