According to the Yahoo! article, there seems to be tape showing that the Israelis didn't open fire immediately as the flotilla members claimed.

 Israel attacked innocent people, and the civilians only tried to protect themselves.

I should probably have cited to the article so that you could read the description.

Footage, or self-interested testimony?  Of course, the footage may well be incomplete.

It is irrelevant, the israeli soldiers attacked and boarded in international waters, which is pretty much the same as pirates. They then killed almost 20 civilians and seized all the aid that was for the palestinians.
