Personally, I think that the Israeli commandos should simply get in on the ships rudder, and blow it out. Then they can offer to either tow the ship in, or let them sit there.

It was obvious that this whole thing was a set up. the 5 other ships gave no problems when they were boarded.... only the one ship was crewed with the guys that were picked to attack the Israelis with knives, axes and pipes. The Israelis should have retreated as soon as they were attacked, and then just disabled the rudder of the ship.
