Piracy in international waters, armed thugs board a ship, heroic crew tries to resist, 9 heroes die, pirates get away.
Guess it's time to send the Russians so they can shoot a hole into these pirate ships and let the vermin try to swim back to the coast, right?

On a more serious note, I think the Israelis completely overreacted, no matter what the crew did, 9 people died because Israel didn't want them to get into Gaza.
I agree with my government that there should be an independent investigation, but I still think this looks very much like Israel playing Middle Eastern macho again to get what they want.
