This is my conclusion after surveying what has happened and its aftermath so far:
Israel again has shown that morality is not the best policy in War.
The ship should have been sunk. Israel should have helped rescue the ships passengers and provide medical care. Rules of war should have been applied, the ship was a combatant when it entered the combat area without approval from Israel and after being warned not to do so.
In war, we need to use Lex Talionis (the law of the fang- an eye for an eye...) If the war is not brutal enough, if it is made bearable because of political correcteness and a one sided wish to be kind and spare the innocent, then it goes on forever, and causes more damage than it should.
We need to make war unthinkably horrible, if we wish to have peace.
