As the Free Gaza ships made their way to the shores of the Strip Friday morning, the organizers broadcasted live footage from one of the ships.
Moments after the footage was published on Ynet, the number of viewers tripled, and the organizers replaced the live feed with propaganda films displaying images from Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. Minutes later, the broadcast from the ship was renewed.
Concerns have been raised over the potential crisis that looms should Israel attack the unarmed 9-ship fleet carrying humanitarian aid in international waters. Particularly given that one of the ships will be flying the flag of NATO member state Turkey. According to precedent, an attack on this vessel will constitute an attack on NATO.
Yesterday, Israel's forum of seven senior ministers made the final decision to block the vessels and forcefully divert them if necessary while the activists on board will be arrested and deported.
Where do you guys come up with this leap in logic?

This from the source linked by ken.

They could declare that they are going to go full speed ahead without stopping... force Israel to block and hence damage the ships (might be dangerous) or let them through. Tough call for Israel, especially if this stays live. If the flotilla stops (in the face of a few warning shots) and gets surrounded I don't see much hope.

Well...
