The deadly May 31, 2010 Gaza flotilla incident has been misunderstood.
This book explores the incident in more detail than mainstream media
coverage has allowed—explaining the background, key players, and the
incident itself—enriched by the authors having had unique access to
senior Israeli officials in the immediate aftermath of the event. The
incident is a microcosm of the struggle between terrorism and
democratic societies, and raises a number of legal, ethical, and
strategic political issues in the contemporary Middle East. Chapters
address the political and military scenario preceding the incident,
key state and non-state actors involved, military and ethical
dimensions of the operation, and the aftermath in the media and
politics. The book provides thoughtful and readable analysis that is
useful to policy makers and to the general public, and draws some
important conclusions for the continuing conflict between democratic
states and terrorists and their sponsors.
