The Israeli attack on a flotilla could be one of the most significant events we witness in the shaping of events to unfold this summer.
The outcry against Israel from all over the world has been significant. Multiple world leaders and figures have spoken out on the issue: Tony Blair, the Vatican, and representatives from the EU just to name a few.
World sentiment has recently been trending toward more of an anti-Israeli stance. I am sure this issue will not do anything other than help to continue this trend. We know from scripture that the day will come when all nations of the earth come against Israel. This could lead to one more step in that direction. The following article shows some of the reaction from around the globe.

We are already seeing the spinning of this story to paint a picture of Israeli aggression against a "humanitarian" effort. However, this is not entire true. While there were humanitarian ships in the flotilla, the one attacked by Israeli forces was sponsored by IHH, an extremist organization.
Also, ignored is the fact that the Israelis were forced to open fire in self-defense. Another ignored fact is that those on board were heard chanting Islamic battle cries that call for the killing of Jews.
