Today we saw the difference between a peace flotilla, that we disagree with the activists' views but respect their right to express themselves, and a hate flotilla which was organized by violent radicals who support terrorism,"

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed Israeli forces not to harm the activists."
That and knowing they are being watched may have been the difference.

na the first time was a military snafu. some one at high levels fucked up. the intelligence was wrong and instead of hitting them with stun grenades and tear gas and going in with batons flying (south korean style) which would have ended up with a few busted heads but no loss of life.
they went in unprepared and responded out of proportion. it was a fuck up and we have appologized many times already. there will be an inquirey and some people will get blamed and fired ( oliver north style) it's depressing really when you think that Israel hasn't had any successfull raid / commando / anti terrorism since Entebbe. btw watch out for war with Lebanon coming soon to a theatre near you. hizbollah has got hold of some scuds that can hit tel aviv. I doubt that we will let that last for too long. |

Notice the name of the intercepted ship? The Rachel Corrie, named after the American citizen "inadvertently" run over by an israeli bulldozer. Like the sinking of the uss liberty was inadvertent.

Of course, with the US backing every fucked up thing they do, why bother... right?

What I want to know is, when did it start becoming possible to use a 1000 word essay as a title on this forum?

A) Ship was in international waters, not sailing into an Israeli port. Gaza is not Israel. Any action against it = act of piracy.
B) The photos shown by Israel as proof of cold weapons stashes on board had some iffy EXIF data at best. Use of pipes against PIRATES is fully justified. C) Israel knew that this was a plan by Erdogan and knew exactly how it would unfold. It could have just stopped the ships' engines using any one of its naval EMP systems, instead your lovely Bibi decided to fuck shit right the fuck up and has lost the support of a large number of those that elected him and cost Israel a lot of support internationally. D) Stephen Harper who is a staunch Israeli supporter stood by him while he gave the speech in Canada and he could barely keep a straight neutral face as even he wasn't buying it. E) Nice of Israel to release segments of IR footage while at the same time confiscating numerous journalists cameras, you know because they really want the facts out.
