And no, i don't know about palestinian refugees outside israel. I just heard at the TV news (romanian channel) that a member of the turkish parliament died. I'm very skeptical about it and wait for official report. But if this indeed happened, then this is going to be an even bigger mess. | ||

Only then the area will calm down. And a solution for this is that Israel starts acting normal and follow the laws and international treaties. even if they did that it wouldnt stop the violence any time soon. People on both sides will be fighting as long as israel exists. | ||

option 1. They had surrounded all the ships so a clinical shot on the propellers would have stopped it. option 2. Board a ship in the middle of the night with armed troops, hope the people aboard ( on this ship mostly turkish) wont' try resisting because then they'd have to shoot in self defence. Military intelligence, political strategy, diplomatic intelligence. Where are you? | ||

We can start a Israel Palestine thread after this blows over but let's keep this to what it is. Please put more effort into your posts we don't need that in a thread like this. On the matter of children being on the ship I'd like to read a source on it. It wasn't a ship sent to war. It was a ship sent for aiding people in Gaza. This has been done before and noone has been killed. I consider having children aboard as a unnecessary risk but as always there's a human being making a rational decision behind it so I wouldn't shove the action away just like that. | ||

Seriously if a country like Israel says stay the fuck out... you stay the fuck out. They do not mess around. This is how i see it, granted Israel could be "corrupt police" but going against them is still not following those hints. | ||

I mean, the legality of the blockade and the fact that it was boarding while in international waters might be debatable. It seems like Israel was in the wrong but maybe a legal expert can confirm or deny this. But the warning? How is that a defense? Is everyone in the world supposed to tiptoe around this country (not even in their territory or waters) because they tell people "look at us funny and we'll **** your **** up?" You know what, what if it had been Iran that created this blockade and killed those unarmed, western activists? Would as many people be standing up for them because Ahmedinijad "warned" them? Hell, a war might have been declared by now. I'm no fan of Iran's domestic or foreign policy, but you see my point. Why let Israel off the hook for something that would be condemned if it was coming from any other country with a very suspect human rights record? Had it been on Israeli water they'd have rights for military action and boarding the ships. Also if they'd have asked for rights to search the ships for weapons They'd most probably would have been allowed but this didn't happen. Had Israel been at war with Palestine at the time it wouldn't have been a crime against public international law. (not100% sure on details here though. But they'de have rights for a blockade on Gaza) I'm glad someone gives another perspective than simple etnocentrism | ||

Just another incident to add to the pile of 'Reasons why I dislike Israel'. Unfortunately nothing will come of this just gonna lead to the usual criticism from various governments and the israeli defending themselves by calling everyone anti-semitic and make some random reference to WWII. | ||

Unfortunately nothing will come of this just gonna lead to the usual criticism from various governments and the israeli defending themselves by calling everyone anti-semitic and make some random reference to WWII. If you see the ship composition and who they landed on, this was a dolt move by BOTH sides; landing on the Turkish ship, and not the ones flying NATO flags. (1 Italian, 2 Greek and 2 American) Also, a note on disabling ships: Wouldn't blowing out the propeller shafts start engine room flooding and a loss of movement? | ||
