I have to admit I was at a loss to see what gain Israel would have from boarding this ship (not realizing until later that there were several ships in a convoy), I would much prefer that Israel not board this latest ship but instead immobilize it so that it drifts around until someone comes to collect a salvage fee for rescuing it.
Then, Israel would be breaking maritime law by not rendering assistance to a ship in distress. Not to mention, firing upon a Turkish flagged ship would have been an act of war against Turkey. Ever hear of the Lusitania?
