50 tons of weapons?
pshaw...that's just humanitarian aid, lmao
Israel can have these weapons (secretly) and THAT's alright.
Israel isn't pretending to have a humanitarian crisis, unlike their enemies.
The whole problem stems from Israel perceiving other countries as "enemies", in the first place. They are people too! Quoting: Spiral Light
I know! Crazy, right?!
How many rockets, mortars and suicide bombers do they have to use to prove to Israel that they just want to be friends?!
How many times do they need to form up their armies on the borders and declare that the sands will run red with Israeli blood?
To visualize the coming apocalypse, imagine, if you will, Oprah & Rosie O'Donnell wrestling for the last rib at an all-you can-eat Bar-B-Q... |

Although this action is provocative, it is probably not illegal.
The twelve mile limit is generally accepted as national waters, the 3 mile line is more factual.
Another line defines the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) which generally extends over the continental shelf, or out to 200nm. In the case of straits, the middle is usually defined. Within this zone, nations have specific boarding and enforcement rights.
The right to board and inspect and the right to seize and detain are quite different issues. Consider fisheries and pollution enforcement for instance.
Cargo must be officially documented at the port of departure, and officialy documented at the port of arrival. This is particularly true with respect to weapons.
This was not under a "false flag" but a flag of convenience.
Quite normal and legal.
The Captain and crew denied knowledge of the cargo, thus one may conclude that it was undocumented. Although I do acknowledge that "papers may often fly over the side during rough weather".
If this vessel had been openly carrying proper documentation, the boarding may have been legal, the seizure not.
IMO, the boarding and seizure are legal and defensible. Quoting: SEADOG
Thanks for this. I was wondering about the limits. |

I guess Israel just does not understand the religion of peace and love.
Peace and love=terrorists launching attacks, purposely targeting civilians, they brag about it....
Peace and love= mortar and rocket attacks.
The Peace loving muslims are just misunderstood, yeah, thats it.

Based on the strong Arab support for Hitler before Israel ever became a nation, I'd say it's based on who and what they are.

If Israel stopped attacking others, declared their nuclear, bilogical and chemical weapons, allow outside inspections, end secrecy, dismantle their illegal settlements in the west bank, end the illegal occupation, and accepted a two state solution for Palestine, whereby Hamas and Israel could be held accountable in international criminal court for war crimes, THEN, and only then, will Israel even BEGIN to have peace. |

this is a great example of recycling. how many times have these weapons been seized by israel?
they seem to know where weapons are when no one else does!!!!
it's very good for israeli pr to keep discovering threats against them. even if they are mostly home made threats.

Special navy forces discovered weapons and ammunition on a cargo ship overnight Tuesday, after boarding a cargo ship some 100 nautical miles west of Israel flying an Antiguan flag.

SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World Defense officials said the ship, captured near Cyprus, was carrying arms sent by Iran and destined for Syria and Hizbullah.
The troops found the weapons and ammunition cache hidden behind what appeared to be a civilian cargo.
According to the officials, the vessel carried advanced weaponry including missiles, and the incident was apparently similar in scope to the seizing of the Karine A ship intercepted in January 2002 off the coast of Gaza. That boat carried some 50 tons of military equipment including Katyusha rockets, antitank missiles, and high explosives.
The ship is currently docked in the Ashdod port, and being unloaded for further inspection.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak commended IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi and Navy Commander Vice-Admiral Eliezer Marom.
"This is another success in the incessant battle against the smuggling of arms and military buildup by terrorist organizations who threaten Israel's security," he said.

I thought I saw where Netanyahu was going to Washington this week. If so they wouldn't do it while he was gone I wouldn't think. For what it's worth here is a link stating that Israel will test their air raid sirens in the north tomorrow.

israel loves scaring the shit out of israeli citizens, keeping them soft and maliable and subservient to their government war policies by periodically having air raid sirens go off, where they all flee to their bunkers. Israel is in the habit of terrorization, even of it's own citizens. |
