Israeli military boats approach the southern port of Ashdod on May 31, 2010, after Israeli navy commandos stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in international waters, killing several pro-Palestinian activists in a pre-dawn raid that sparked global outrage.

Israel is facing international criticism after its raid on a flotilla in international waters left at least nine dead. The United Nations Security Council and others have urged an immediate impartial review of the raid on a vessel carrying humanitarian aid and passengers. Was Israel fairly enforcing its blockade on Gaza? Or was the raid tantamount to piracy? Were the protesters victims or aggressors? And, should the blockade on Gaza be lifted?
