Israeli soldiers then entered the ship and were attacked by knives, metal bars and live fire. Ony then did the soldiers begin shooting TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. why, why, why is middle east press coverage ALWAYS biased and one-sided???

Even though we may not know every detail about this incident I would say that overall the previous incidents suggest you are correct.
Meaning - it was self-defense.
Let me make this clear - I am NOT in love with Israel or running around arguing for them as my 'team'.
I may not even like Israel,
and,
I want to sympathize with any sincere hard-working Palestinian who is genuinely trying to live.
Problem.
Over and over again these incidents are NOT 'each is guilty' incidents but they are clearly Palestinian terrorists, murderers who absolutely can and will and often have INITIATED killings of innocent civilians.
Then,
What you see is the surprisingly measured and well executed RESPONSE in self-defense from the Israelis.
One of the MAIN REASONS for the Palestinian side losing my support is that they constantly think everyone else is so stupid as to fall for these contrived 'victim shows'.
This has sunk to lows of people KNOWING that Israeli soldiers are in an emergency search for a terrorist and yet popping their children up into windows in hopes the children is shot,
then,
howling in outrage to the media over how 'Israel killing innocent children' and then USING THAT as an excuse to blow up an Israeli boy next time around.
Its insulting to me.
People say 'well just imagine if Palestinians did this?'
Sure.
Here is the difference over and over:
- The Palestinians would go onto a bus full of innocent civilians and horrifically slaughter them for being Jews.
- The Jews then GO FIND those responsible and in an attempt to save future lives they will try their best to shoot and kill the people who planned it or will do it again.
IF people cannot see the difference then there is no hope anymore and nothing means anything.
Its not hard to see it.
Now.. I am NOT saying Israel is always right or doesn't screw up and I am not commenting on their policies here.
I'm talking about these types of incidents.
Sorry.. in a total political and social PoV I actually have my sympathies for Palestinians in general and as meaning the regular working people and families,
but,
As far as I can see this is another example where the Israelis are CLEARLY the good guys doing the correct thing AND it will ultimately save innocent lives and stopped people who are clearly in the wrong.
Of course we will follow the story here to see more.
