That was indeed shocking. A mall full of people and I didn't see any obesity.

So guess what, Egypt opened its border and the Palestinians are no longer under siege. Are we the good guys yet?

It depends. If it really does create an influx of weapons and mercenaries, then you are. If, as some of the pro-Palestinian pundits have claimed, that the improved economy that it allows improves things in Gaza enough that people become less interested in perpetuating the fighting, then you'll be the bad guys. However, IMHO, smart money is on the former happening a lot more than the latter.

or at least that the former will happen sooner than the latter.

I think both are likely. The local opinion is that weapons and terrorists were already coming in through the tunnels, so all this does is collapse the tunnels as an investment concept and offer the Gazan people a chance to find a decent job.

UN's Report of the Secretary-General’s Panel of Inquiry on the 31 May 2010 Flotilla Incident
AKA - Palmer Report

The report. Another location. The summary is about three pages long.
NY Times article (hope its not pay-walled. i had no problems]

I think a very short summary would be: Israel’s blockade was justified but that it used excessive force in maintaining it.

As for next steps:

See, Israel didn't sink the ships attempting the run a military blockade, and kill everyone on them. That's simply the level you'd expect for anyone dumb enough to try to run a blockade. So how can what they did be "excessive"?

Once the take over started I dont judge the force used as excessive.

What was excessive is the amount of military preparations VS the results. I'd expect the IDF to pull this with no casualties on both sides.
How hard can it be to stop a ship without killing someone? Maybe it should be a real life VSP.

Probably not that hard, we did it easily the next time they tried the "running the blockade" stunt.
