My supposition is that the Gaza supporters are in the orange life jackets and the Israelis are in the dark uniforms.

At ~ 25-30 s one can see a small battle between a couple of people. One is swinging a pole of some sort at a soldier. The soldier turns around after reaching the doorway. He doesn't appear to be seriously injured or even deterred in his mission. The camera turns away before we see what he does next. Most of the people on board seem to be cowering and trying to stay out of the way.

So apparently there was some resistance at least one the ships, but I didn't see any weapons other than on the Israeli side.

It was easy to predict that some people were going to die in this incident. Israel's government and military apparently don't understand the meaning of restraint or of the "big picture". Their after-the-fact expressions of regret and blaming the people on the ship is par for the course. :-(

Cheers,
Scott.
