My comment:

Yesterday, Israel has conducted a raid over a flotilla of ships carrying aid to Gaza. It is said that 9 activists and 7 soldiers has been killed but some NGO say there could be at least 15 activists dead.
It is not the first time that Israel is trying to prevent a flotilla from reaching Gaza strip, but several elements have provoked an international reaction. First, the flotilla was carrying about 10 000 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Among the 700 pro-palestinian activists there were the Nobel Price 1976 Mairead Corrigan Maguire and serverals european representants. Second, the attack violated the law since it occured in international waters. And last, the attack was lead with great violence since at least 9 pro-palestian activists are dead.
Therefore, since yesterday, the crisis has begun. The UN have set an emergency meeting yesterday night and condemned the attack, the Arabian league will have a meeting today and many countries have called their Israelian ambassador in order to have more explanations.
I think this attack is really threatening the image of Israel over the world. For the moment, the country has set up an information blackout so it is very difficult to have more information. They said the activits have whith weapons and their goal was probably more a terrorist attempt to introduce weapons in Gaza than an emergency aid. We can be sure that there will be an international inquiry in order to discover the truth over this attack and take some measures.
