Is it legal for the Israelis to attack civilian boats with explosives.

Not in international waters, gets a bit cloudy once they're in Israeli waters, and the maritime blockade around Gaza is legal. Israel have offered to allow the boats into a port to unload and they will deliver the aid. The activists refuse this.
I think Italy has a naval ship with the flotilla now and Spain has one en route which should join them in about 3 days. Italy, Spain and I think Greece have asked the flotilla to accept the Israeli offer to dock in port. The activists refuse.
If the Spanish and Italian vessels go through the Israeli blockade there will be an international incident which obviously the activists are pushing for.

They're going to have to turn up the volume on the Abba music.

A bit of fact checking on this "massive" Flotilla.

Out of the 14 vessels listed 2 are TTs, 3 don't exist and there are only 3 vessels off the coast of Greece including the TT. There are no warships in the vicinity and quite a few are in port.

I missed this reply.

I meant they are currently dropping stun grenades on the flotilla. They can blind or deafen someone permanently. I was asking if that can be legal against civilian boats. Especially in international waters.

I think you're getting ahead of yourself here. You're saying Israel has launched an attack with grenades against civilian boats anchored off Greece?

Has the Greek Govt summoned the Israeli Consul yet?

When I originally posted, I had just seen a headline in the Times which mentioned stun grenades being dropped from drones.

I think that is why Greece has given the flotilla warship protection.
