What will Israel’s attack on the Gaza flotilla mean for the Mideast peace process?

Over the weekend a small flotilla of six ships attempted to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza by bringing aid via the Mediterranean Sea. They were stopped by the Israeli Navy and at least one ship was stormed by commandos. The incident has attracted international attention. Turkey has said, for example, that its Navy will escort any further aid ships – setting the stage for a possible naval altercation.

Is Israel justified in stopping the flotilla by force? http://current.com/news/92462009_israel-stormed-gazzas-humanitarian-aid-ship-10-… added by: afitzgerald
