Gaza aid boat 'rammed by Israel'

I am really trying not to take sides on this whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the Israelis are making it hard:

A boat delivering 3.5 tonnes of Cypriot medical aid to the Gaza Strip has been rammed by Israeli naval vessels in international waters, activists say.

The Free Gaza campaign group, which operates the Dignity, also claimed shots were fired towards the crew.

The boat later docked in Lebanon after sustaining serious damage to one side.

Israeli officials confirmed there had been "physical contact" but denied reports of shooting and said the crew had not responded to radio calls.


Attacking an unarmed boat that is delivering medical aid to the injured? The Israelis are attacking like assholes...

Link to video of the incident.
