on 6 ships? to deliver aid which would have been alowed to be delivered via Ashdod anyway?. 'International aid workers' do not carry knives or invoke the death and destruction of a sovereign country.
They were told to divert, they didn't, this was exactly what Hamas and the rest of the anti-Israeli coalition wanted, tragically people died as a result.
If you are going to attack Israeli Commandos, FFS, expect the consequences they are not known for their pacifism.
Just go on swallowing the propaganda.

Israel may be a bit paranoid (with reason!) but Im pretty darn sure that they didnt just decide to attack a load of boats for the hell of it!

Second reply to thread
Look at how many people have flown to Haiti for relief from the Earthquake, many thousands, you cannot fly to Gaza btw.

Were you on a checkpoint in the occupied territories BTW?

not quite
depends on your POV, but you might think that,they were annexed after we had a little local trouble with the rebel scum that we had to deal with. They got what they deserved.
the desert was really hot glad to be away from there really.

Gaza, There is an approved route in where thousands of tons have gone through, this was done in a confrontational way don't you think?

Haiti, disaster relief - no fanatics were blowing us up.

Actually, UN estimates state the total aid tonnage allowed in by Israel is one fifth of the aid needed. Nothing like keeping the fuckers down is there.

is this
the same UN and its moral relativism? it failure to stop genocide in Darfur, Srebenica and Rwanda, it's failure to deliver food aid to somalia? just skimming the surface of its failures over the years.
When it start returning to the original charter and why it was set up in the first place I might give it more credence.

er.... tomo'...
you did read the original post i did in full?... and you still didn't get it? did you not see what I did there? thought Alderann might give it away, did you think Aldershot or somewhere in Israel? and the occupied territories you were referring to did you think I might be and IDF paratrooper or something? I am still loyal to the Emperor.
Go back and read it again, it will seem obvious now.
But we did have fun burning up a few farms and their occupants...

mmmmm...maybe overlooking the obvious because of preconceptions might be a habit...
