"Firing having started, commandos descended into the fight one at a time without weapons at the ready."

1. How do you know the weapons weren't at the ready?

2. Testimony from the passengers states that live ammo was fired from above and from the boats before the troops landed. This testimony is corroborated by the commentary in the live feed which states that some of the passengers were wounded before any troops landed.

It is clear that the troops did not expect the resistance they encountered, but this says nothing about whether or not they were the aggressors, it just shows that they underestimated the determination of the people on board.

It is really important to ask who is trying to cover the evidence up and who is trying to make it public.

The question of who is telling the truth is best answered by that factor alone.

Israel has engaged in a clear policy of falsified evidence, secrecy, accusations of terrorist links and accusations of global anti semitism.

Nowhere do I see them saying "here is the evidence, we welcome an independent enquiry"

There is not much that is believable about the official Israeli positon.
