As for the second part, it appears the Israeli's were firing from helicopters at the activists, check out dlish's 3 part post of his reporter friends account of what happened, it's from someone who was actually on the ship and was quite an informative read.

No problem, bro.
While dlish's report was compelling and a very interesting read, I think any and every story should be taken with a grain of salt. CNN, FOX, BBC, they're all biased in some way. Israel is trying to justify what they did, so they're going to spin it to make themselves look good. The activists are trying to make Israel look like shit, so they're going to say anything they want and hope it sticks.
I think Israel had the right idea, they just went about it wrong. Slightly wrong, at the least. Both sides could have done more right. Based on what I've read, and along with my prior beliefs and values, Israel has my support. Like I said, everyone could have done something better, but Israel had the right idea; something went wrong along the way.
I have a fairly open mind, but I can't see my opinion changing unless someone comes out with hard evidence. I bet a lot of people here share that reasoning.
