NYT: "The Israeli government has said that its troops were attacked by passengers wielding knives and clubs, and that the commandos fired only in self-defense."
Well, gosh. If you hadn't boarded the ship in what appears to be a violation of international law, your commandos might not have been attacked with knives and clubs. It's also interesting that knives and clubs were the weapons used; surely if those on board the ship were Hamas terrorists they would have been equipped with AK-47s, no?
At what point does Israel's claim of self-defense as its justification for every use of force start being ludicrous?
