May Current Event #3: Israel, Gaza flotilla sponsors blame each other for violence on ship

Israel claims that they were only defending themselves last Monday. They shot 9 activists on a ship in international waters which was carrying humanitarian goods to the Gaza Strip. A person on the boat disagrees with their story. The prime minister of Israel says that the policy to allow all humanitarian goods to the Gaza Strip was canceled. He says that Gaza has become a base for Hamas terrorists. 5 of the 6 ships allowed israeli soldiers to search their ships but the 6th began beating the soldiers.

This has world importance because it shows that Israel, even though were attacked, can not defeat the world media and were blaimed for the attack. It also shows that Israel is not comming to a peaceful agreement with Palestinians.
