See this video, which backs up Israeli claims that the pro-Hamas "peace activists" were anything but. Note they beat one of the the commandos with pipes and clubs and threw him overboard. You can see one of the "peace activists" holding one of the Israeli's non-lethal paintball guns, and another right after brandishing a pistol (which the Israeli's say was taken from the beaten commando).
Via Maggie's Farm, there is much more at Bookwoorm Room - including video if a "peace activist" stabbing an Israeli soldier in the back.
Of course, given the blind eye most of the West (and our current administration) turns toward Islamic supremacism and anti-Semitism, Israel will be seen as the villain here, and the people who provoked the situation as the victims.
Which would you rather have running the Holy Land, dear readers - a secular, democratic Israel that tries to defend itself while trying to respect human rights and the rule of law, or an Islamist theocracy that sees Christians as barely human (or worse, if you are Jewish, or Hindu, or atheist, or gay), and considers dragging people out of bed and shooting them in the back if the head as due process and rule of law? You decide.
Side Note: How long it will take The Episcopal Church (tm) - who claimed it had to wait years for their "polity" to issue a statement regarding requests made to it by the Archbishop of Canterbury - to issue a statement denouncing Israel?
