Israeli commandos kill activists on a Ship in International waters
 

Who the Hell do they think they are,
They break all the Rules and get the Yanks backing them.

"At least 10 pro-Palestinian activists were killed and dozens
injured in a battle at sea with Israeli naval commandos today,
sparking an international diplomatic crisis and the prospect
of angry demonstrations across Israel, the Palestinian territories, Turkey and beyond."

Sign Of The Times.

Oh dear not looking good over there at the moment.

Israel ftw

They're both as bad as eachother.

Turkey has Nothing to do with this.

is this about Eurovision?

gaaah. If Palestine/Lebanon/another muslim nation had done this to Israel the west would have been up in arms...

I mean sure, Israel's under fire from a lot of religious nutters (see: Ahmedinejad) but they're really about as innocent as a fox in a coop.

I dislike Israel, the only reason countries hold back is because The USA back Israel.

So much hate passed down from generation to generation.

Each have a good argument and can fully justify what they do in a logical way. The only solution is total forgiveness.

Israel will always have US backing, since they are the strategic proxy presence in the Middle East protecting US oil interests. It has nothing to do with the Jewish lobby in senate as many people believe - in fact it's the Democrats who attract the greatest amount of Jewish votes, YET it's the Republicans who have traditionally backed the Israelis. So long as there are massive oil reserves to be fought over, USA will continue to support the Israelis, whatever they might do.

The USA never do anything altruistically, there is always a massive element of self-interest.

Which of course will never happen.

ask ourselves if we forgive when we have been wronged?

Lauren Booth just Live on SkyNewsHD
was most angry outside the London Israeli Embassy
she said Sweden has Got rid of the Embassy staff
the UK must do the same.

I think it's gone beyond that with them.

How can anybody say they're as bad as eachother?

It was not enough that Israel was set up illegally as a nation and forcibly drove Palestinians from their homes into those tiny ghettos known as the Gaza strip (an area smaller than the size of Newcastle) and the West Bank. They couldn't even stick to the UN partition and when Palestinians reacted, Israel bombed the shit out of their civilians and they justify the existence of their racist regime by labelling the Palestinians terrorists.

Modern day apartheid.

Hello??? Israeli soldiers first radioed the ships and told them to stop entering Gaza as tehre is a blockade there, as Hamas, a terrorist organization, has taken over it. the flotilla ignored them and continued on to Gaza. Israeli soldiers then entered the ship and were attacked by knives, metal bars and live fire. Ony then did the soldiers begin shooting TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. why, why, why is middle east press coverage ALWAYS biased and one-sided???

This is just the Israeli Defense Force's spin on the story and even they admit they were blocking foreign aid.

These ships were supplying terrorists who have been firing rockets at Israeli civilians.

They got off lightly with only 10 deaths

By international law, (Article 51 of the UN Convention), Israel had every right to sink every last ship with all hands.

Personally - sick to death of terrorists - couldn't care less what happens to any of them!

"These ships were supplying terrorists who have been firing rockets at Israeli civilians."


Wrong they were supplying Aid for the public of Gaza

They were supplying an area that is ruled by Hamas, a terrorist organisation which has as it's aim the annihilation of Israel.

Even supplying food to terrorists is supplying and giving succour and support to terrorists and their aims.

The people of Gaza know what they have to do and over throw the men of violence, namely Hamas, but they choose not to. In fact they voted in this terrorist organisation. Israel, under article 51 of the UN charter has every right to do what ever it takes to defend her people.

Israel so far has shown great restraint when it would be well with in it's right of self defence to take more aggressive action with more casualties to eradicate a threat to it's people.

Food is needed for Children - Sticks,
as for your Yank Attitude,
You are on your own.

So it is perfectly acceptable to fire rockets at civilians and go in with explosives around your body into a crowded market to kill as many women and children as possible, but not acceptable to try and prevent that?

The Palestinian authority of Hamas has pledged to annihilate another sovereign state. All the people of Gaza need to do is overthrow this terrorist regime. Until then Israel has every right given to it by Article 51 of the UN charter to defend it's people, just like we did when we sent the armada in 1982 when our sovereign territory was attacked by Argentina.

As the Israeli PM at the time observed, Britain was allowed to send forces halfway around the world under article 51, but Israel who is defending against a real threat much closer to home can do nothing?

Im behind Israel on this.

There is a video on youtube of the stabbings.

Go Israel!

"So it is perfectly acceptable to fire rockets at civilians and go in with explosives around your body into a crowded market to kill as many women and children as possible, but not acceptable to try and prevent that?"

Of Course not that is the Everyday War
that never ends.

The point is
the Ship folks had Sticks so the Nazi Type Israeli Gun Killers
shot them in cold blood.


You Stick with your Evil View
and the rest of the World will
be more fair.

The ship people were ordered to dock at a particular port by the Navy because they were trying to supply terrorists.

When the commandos boarded the ships after the ships disobeyed a direct order, the people on the ship attacked first with knives and firearms. The commandos returned fire in self defence.

The navy could have just sank every last ship and made sure all the so called activist drowned to send a message out to those who would support terrorists, and still be justified in that action by Article 51 of the UN charter which allows for self defence.

As I said earlier, those in the ships got off lightly.

"The commandos returned fire in self defence."


A Stick (the boat) Vs a Machine Gun.

Nazi Like for sure.


Result - Murder.
Guilty - Israeli.

They attacked the Israel soilders.

Sure they did
they Fired Massive Nukes.

They KNIFED Israel soilders. There is PROOF of this on youtube. They fired the first shots and when you do this, you get all you deserve.

Its not nice, its a **** situation.

The ships were trying to break a blockade because Gaza is only getting about a quarter of its daily needs, because the Israelis have it under siege.

On the face of it, it was an act of piracy and murder to board a ship flying a Turkish flag in international waters.

There are already protests being set up. Looks like more anger and violence from Muslims in the UK.

Just gives them another excuse!

Would you not agree this is an act of piracy, ie to forcefully board a ship flying a sovereign nation's flag, on the high seas?

Once again the Israelis have been caught perpetrating a criminal act. And they have the gall to call others terrorists.

And Gaza is rightly under blockade because of the attacks on Israel by rockets and suicide bombers.

These ships were going to supply a terrorist regime and so Israel invoked its right under article 51 on the UN charter to do what it take to defend it's people.

I don't accept the legitimacy of Israel and won't until they make terms with the Palestinians.

However, whatever side you're on, this was an act of piracy in international law on the high seas, and Israel can and I hope will be prosecuted for it.

Prime example of the one-sided media. The way this is being reported is how the pro-palestinians are spinning it

You dont enter a blockade and expect to go in smooth sailing! Youre asked to stop, you STOP. you dont start shooting and knifing the soldiers.

Ther's a REASON there's a blockade. and weapons are being smuggled on these 'innocent aide' ships.

They were in international waters. Israel has no jurisdiction.

Oh and btw, they're in an Isreli port now. Have the Israelis found any weapons?
