Where the Israeli commando's entering the ships armed an all geared up because they saw the activists fishing?



If you're going to quote, then make sure you read the entire text, not just the part you want to read. Contrary to what you seem to imply, "may take such measures, including boarding" is not what is written there.
my point; the situation is not clear cut, as Saemus rightly questioned this is not a cut-n-dried case of international waters.
