A boat was going into Gaza with humanitarian goods. The people and groups on the boat were activists, and many were killed by Israeli soldiers. They claim that Israeli soldiers came onto their boat and just opened fire on them. However, Israel claims that they boarded the ship looking for weapons. They are fine with humanitarian goods going into Gaza, but not weapons because they don't want the Hamas to get stronger. Israel claims the activist beat them and started attacking them with knifes and even a gun. The soldiers shot them in self defense.
This has global importance because it shows the conflict of Israel. This conflict goes on every day and is a on going war between Arabs and Israelis and Palestinians and Israelis. In this story I believe that the Israeli soldiers didn't just go onto the ship and open fire. This was the fifth or sixth ship that they boarded to search for weapons, so why would they have randomly chose this ship to kill people on. I believe that they shot the people aboard because they really were being attacked and used self defense.
