In some of the clearest video yet, we see some of the weapons used by the Flotilla passengers against what can only be described as a highly restrained IDF, including clubs, chains, and a stun grenade. These are not the actions of passive civilian peace activists. This is more video evidence of a planned violent resistance against a disciplined force willing to take a beating before causing any casualties:
Update: New Video
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here

CNN has a story that shows some of the earlier video, and an interview with an injured soldier.

But it also purports to show damning video from the other side. There's some meaningless shots on deck, but also one shot of someone, somewhere, with a rifle. It seems to be used as evidence to show that Israel fired first. But there's no way to verify who it is, except of course the big Turkey flag right in front of them, which CNN doesn't seem to be at all curious about.
Even if it's really an Israeli, there's no way that the footage occurred prior to boarding the Turkish vessel. Perhaps those with a keener eye than mine can take a closer look and shed more light on the video.
