The Israeli Navy have attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid and international activists to Gaza. Reports say up to 20 people were killed and dozens injured as Israeli commandos stormed the vessels over a hundred kilometres off Gaza's coast. Some of the ships have been towed to the Israeli port city of Ashdod.

The video that started this thread proves nothing.

As usual.


People are getting sick of the Pallywood propaganda industry:

11. I don't think you're going to get much sympathy for all that.
Many Chinese soldiers were killed by Chinese Tienanmen protesters in 1989 and there were many pictures of charred remains of Chinese soldiers, etc. People had been warned to stay off the streets days before the June 4 incident. Nonetheless, China was an international pariah for some time. The politics of this will determine the outcome not any formalities about "blockades" or "someone threw a firebomb" or "people had wooden sticks."

12. They might have been forced to shoot to defend themselves
Just as much as a burglar could be forced to shoot you if you caught him breaking in.

What business did they have on the boat in international waters?

4. It is time that Israel is declared to be a rouge nation.
Israel has been getting away with these kinds of tactics for far too long. Even when they attacked a US ship in International Waters in 1967, the US government gave them a pass.

Now they gave created Palatinean ghettos, just as the Nazi's did in Warsaw during WWII. It seems the wrong lessons were learned from that period of time.

16. As much as I am sick and f'ing tired of our relationship with Israel
I don't believe for a second that they jumped on the ship and started blasting people. In fact, the video shows at least two of them being attacked. Now, whether they were attacked by "knives and axes" will come out; if they were I assume the weapons will be collected and displayed, but let's not start acting like it is an unquestionable fact that they just hopped on-board and started shooting people. This video alone shows that's not the case.
