re: #668 LudwigVanQuixote

I agree, but I also am asking you, what would you have done differently?

Should they have gone in blazing?

Should they have not done that at all and risked casualties or kills from a crippling shot to the aft of the ship?

Should they have just sank the ship after shots across the bow were ignored?

I am seriously asking your opinion. I think the Israelis were put in a lose/lose situation. I really don’t see any win for them in this.

I absolutely don’t think they should have gone in with guns blazing.

But when the protesters saw that the soldiers were armed only with paintballs, that almost certainly encouraged them to attack even harder. If they had Uzis pointed at them, they might not have been quite as ready to jump with those iron bars.
