Nice. The last soldier off the chopper shot 6 of the 9 killed on board with his Glock. Now that guy is the man. That's how I expect Israel to handle these situations. Jump in, tell everyone to get down. Anyone who doesn't gets shot. Don't know why the first guys down weren't shooting yet.

The Times of London reports that at least 2 soldiers had been shot by the "peace activists" and one beaten unconscious before this guy hit the deck and opened fire. Good job. Although, some Israeli CO made a bad call sending those guys onto the deck of that ship into a mob. At least throw a handfull for Flashbangs down there to get the people to spread out a bit first.
Killing people is exactly what Israel needed to NOT do. They needed to stop these ships without killing anyone for political purposes. They failed, they got baited into the trap laid for them and made their problem much worse.

This is also relevant for irony: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurti...t_of_pale.html
