Gaza Blockade Violence News You May Have Missed

David Bernstein at The Volokh Conspiracy calls readers' attention to Gaza Blockade Violence News You May Have Missed:

...it would be easy enough to miss what I found to be the most relevant information, from the Washington Post:“Short video clips broadcast on various television stations showed demonstrators clubbing the navy personnel with metal bars and showed at least one soldier firing.”

Although Bernstein has his doubts about the wisdom of a blockade, he notes:

UPDATE: Reuters: “Greta Berlin, a spokeswoman for the Free Gaza Movement that organized the convoy, said: ‘How could the Israeli military attack civilians like this? Do they think that because they can attack Palestinians indiscriminately they can attack anyone?’” Here’s a hint, Ms. Berlin: when you try to run a naval blockade, and then attack the blockaders with weaponry, “civilians” is not an apt description.

Allison Kaplan Summer (via Instapundit): “Israel appears to have stepped directly into a trap of a carefully planned suicide mission dressed up in the clothing of a humanitarian effort.”
