Fact Check

The article alleges that "several dozen activists and seven Israeli commandos were wounded after armed activists attacked Israeli troops." While this position has been asserted by the IDF, It has been wholly contradicted by eyewitness testimony by the NGO's present on the flotilla. Also, To my knowledge it has not been confirmed by the evidence, or the video footage that has been released from the May 2010 incident. It would be prudent for credible, third party sources for this allegation to be referenced by Wikinews if this contentious statement is to stand.
