6 Israeli soldiers wounded by members of the "peace" flotilla? AP report:Turned deadly after one of the activists grabbed a weapon

Yup - exactly what happened, exactly the result intended!

I believe Israel did this to provoke Iran to go to War with Israel. The Israeli Government are the evil ones that need to be put on trial for many war crimes. Who are the real terrorist, the world is pointing its fingers at the Israeli Government. Soldiers are just grunts taking orders. War is a racket.

what is much more shocking than the killings (we are used to that from the IDF) is the zionist reaction to the tragedy

still there is no information about the whereabouts of some politicians

If mathetes goes to New Earth I will be the human more surprised on Earth. A new cycle of twenty thousand years is what this motherfucker is going to have.

If this is the case Israel must have a lot of videos to prove their case. I haven't seen any.
Again, Israel might be 10,000 times right in doing this and most of those people could have been terrorists, but you just can't attack a ship in international waters and then say they were the terrorists without solid proof of it.

6 soldiers injured LOL ....


what rope burn.....stubbed their toe.....what a joke..

You need to watch the video that's from Turkey tv. The soliders repelling were attacked even before they made it to the boat deck.

Watch the video. They were attacked.

You attack an armed soldiers then expect to get killed.

If you were watching a movie on tv you would be happy to see a brave captured trying to save his crew.

well seeing it was a turkish vessel in international waters it should be given the right to do the investigation which is good seeing Israel's track record concerning Israeli investigations into their own misdoings...

The soldiers had no right to be there. It was illegal. How the heck can you honestly defend the Israelis' actions?

Most Americans agree with you. The Israeli's may be shocked one day to see the lack of support they get despite their propaganda media working for them 24/7.

Why don't you go there and report back to us you dumbfuck??

1. A maritime blockade is in effect off the coast of Gaza. Such blockade has been imposed, as Israel is currently in a state of armed conflict with the Hamas regime that controls Gaza, which has repeatedly bombed civilian targets in Israel with weapons that have been smuggled into Gaza via the sea.

2. Maritime blockades are a legitimate and recognized measure under international law that may be implemented as part of an armed conflict at sea.

3. A blockade may be imposed at sea, including in international waters, so long as it does not bar access to the ports and coasts of neutral States.

4. The naval manuals of several western countries, including the US and England recognize the maritime blockade as an effective naval measure and set forth the various criteria that make a blockade valid, including the requirement of give due notice of the existence of the blockade.

5. In this vein, it should be noted that Israel publicized the existence of the blockade and the precise coordinates of such by means of the accepted international professional maritime channels. Israel also provided appropriate notification to the affected governments and to the organizers of the Gaza protest flotilla. Moreover, in real time, the ships participating in the protest flotilla were warned repeatedly that a maritime blockade is in effect.

6. Here, it should be noted that under customary law, knowledge of the blockade may be presumed once a blockade has been declared and appropriate notification has been granted, as above.

7. Under international maritime law, when a maritime blockade is in effect, no boats can enter the blockaded area. That includes both civilian and enemy vessels.

8. A State may take action to enforce a blockade. Any vessel that violates or attempts to violate a maritime blockade may be captured or even attacked under international law. The US Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations sets forth that a vessel is considered to be in attempt to breach a blockade from the time the vessel leaves its port with the intention of evading the blockade.

9. Here we should note that the protesters indicated their clear intention to violate the blockade by means of written and oral statements. Moreover, the route of these vessels indicated their clear intention to violate the blockade in violation of international law.

10. Given the protesters explicit intention to violate the naval blockade, Israel exercised its right under international law to enforce the blockade. It should be noted that prior to undertaking enforcement measures, explicit warnings were relayed directly to the captains of the vessels, expressing Israel's intent to exercise its right to enforce the blockade.

11. Israel had attempted to take control of the vessels participating in the flotilla by peaceful means and in an orderly fashion in order to enforce the blockade. Given the large number of vessels participating in the flotilla, an operational decision was made to undertake measures to enforce the blockade a certain distance from the area of the blockade.

12. Israeli personnel attempting to enforce the blockade were met with violence by the protesters and acted in self defense to fend off such attacks.

Israeli soldiers in International Waters boarding that ship illegally in the first place makes them "pirates". Watch any pirate movie and tell us the shipmates being captured do not defend themselves against the pirates. Israel, you need to get rid of those who ordered this piracy by putting them on trial. Until then you will have justice come upon you however God wants it to be done.

It's all there, you just have to look for it.

Netanyahu cancels Washington visit, returning home early from Canada - official statement

shame

good......hope he never comes back or is allowed back.

I created similar news on twitter.
Is that a lie too?

Wow - sensible!

Do you have a reliable source to back up this statement?

I'm genuinely interested as it seems contrary to common sense and there are a number of comments flying around (including my own on another thread) that are based on the assumption that an attack in international water is illegal, and can therefore be justifiably repelled.

A PRIVATE Turkish vessel with the stated intention of running the Israeli blockade - with armed mercenaries aboard..

Sad - but not hard to predict..

Fuck off, you piece of shit, cock sucking zionist TERRORIST bitch!

You stupid fucking zionists will defend Israel NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, won't you?

You're so fucking transparent, and disgusting, i PRAY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY GETS THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE CREW ON THE FLOTILLA DID BY YOUR PUSSY ASS ISRAELI SOLDIERS.

:bitch:

Hilarious.

Storm troopers storm your ship and begin their usual beating of the people they despise. Some are shot. A couple of dudes grab something and try to defend themselves and others. And that makes it the fault of those being attacked?

Palestine has the right to some food. What Israel is doing is not of God. It's of Satan. (If you want to hear the religion side of it) Otherwise, wrong is wrong. Israel is wrong. They need to change their ways.

19 or more people (EXECUTED) without a court trial.

Is that a threat? You need to watch what you say idiot.
