Watching the video the troops should have shot immediately to clear the decks,,,,if an assult by the scum on the ships continued they should shoot to kill. I n the end they didnt kill enough

You are full of shit.

It was crime against "International comunity". Israel reveled to Whole World that from now on its ready to attack anybody. And place like that has illegal WMD????

Israel had no choice but to act an attempted invsion.You cannot just sail ships into sovereign territory unwelcomed and expect no consequence.Israel had repeatedly warned that invaders will be stopped.If anybody went to US miltary installation with posted sign that says:"keep out;Use of deadly force authorized"',they would be foolish to ignore the warning. Israel said to they woul allow humanitrian aid if it was unloaded in Ashdod.This is because incoming cargo had to be checked for weapons before it can be forwarded to Gaza.Israel had been the victim of over 12,000 rocket attacks since Hamas ruled Gaza,forcing Israel to have no choice but to enforce a blockade.Israel had ignored previous incursions by smaller convoys.this only emboldened so-called "activists" that they can continue to flout Israel's borders with bigger and bigger cargoes.

There is ample evidence that indicates the occupants onboard that ship inititated the violence. The videos of the Israeli soldiers being attacked immediately upon boarding this ship are being shown repeadily on cable news. Unless anybody can prove that these people beating soldiers with weapons they carried in anticipation of this event are peaceful, and didn't provoke a deadly response for propaganda purposes, should either put up or shutup.

My understanding was that it was off the coast of Gaza, and in 'international waters'. Plus, Netanyahu says aid is allowed in. Why then was the flotilla told to turn back, instead of being subjected to a search, to ensure it was only aid and not weapons being brought in?

Would your country allow ships with potential war material go unchecked throw its territorial waters? No way you would. Your soldiers would have to go and check the ships cargo. EVERY SHIP IN EVERY COUNTRY HAS IT'S CARGO CHECKED. Even for less important things such as customs and drug smuggling. This case is even more severe - that ship went straight into a region governed by a TERRORISTS, and moreover, it could hold MISSLES WHICH WOULD BE LAUNCHEd STRAIGHT TO YOUR HOME! Do you legitimate potential drug smuggles who hit soldiers!? Then why for the hell's sake do you legitimate these missles smuggles who risk CIVILIAN'S LIFE!?

Unfortunately for Israel, by boarding the fleet outside of their territorial waters or contiguous zone, they are the initial aggressors.

Because there is a blockade & to defy a blockade is illegal.

unfortunately you are wrong.

His name is NETANYAHU & he is not full of sh*t.

Lol, and when did Israel ever cared about civilian lifes? Do you remember how many did you kill in Gaza in the beggining of 2009?

no matter what, all the world is always against jews and Israel, so the hit must be given from the start. No boarding ships any more, just rockets for them. 1st advise, 2nd advise and 3rd hit and sink them, then deliver lifesavers if you want to show some feelings for mercy. If it were for me, just sink them and make the vessel explode, so they will never come back again. Or simply, add sea mines, with remote control devices so you do not even need to shoot a rocket.

These events R tragic and R the direct consequence of the kind of hatreds that R being stirred up by the far left, or (big “L” Leftists). Be it these Leftists or the Palestinians, what is wrong with Mahatma Gandhi's policy of non-cooperation, non-violence and peaceful resistance? Are violent acts and the support of violence necessary for PEACE ??? The Leftist answers this question with a resounding YES!

It's a basic legall tenent. If someone breaks into your house and you defend youself and the intruder shoots you, the intruder cannot claim self-defense.

It seems that the first Israeli soldiers to board the vessel were unarmed and were brutally attacked with clubs etc. They had every right to defend themselves as does Israel to inspect the flotilla. Unfortunate that lives were lost but you reap what you sow.

Israel is right in defending itself against the Turkish terrorists. Confronting terrorists must be done with an iron fist to protect the nation from harm. It is time the Islamist-Jihadist Turkish PM stops interfering in Israel's sovereignty and internal affairs. Under its Islamist-Jihadist government, Turkey is behaving like the Ottoman Turks who butchered millions of helpless Christian Armenians at the turn of the 20th century. Western Nations must never allow such resurgence of aggression by Turkey. In fact, NATO should kick out Turkey. America should pull out its military installation in Turkey. The world should strengthen the Kurds in gaining their independence from Turkey.

every day i wake up and thank

The expression on the face of the 2 guys tells you what kind of deep dodo they know they are in now. Very funny!

I am not relying to your post, only adding to it. I have posted this elsewhere but I shall do it again as most Ynuts do not know this: 1) Israel has NOT signed or ratified the United Nations Convention on the High Seas (1982) 2) Israel has NEVER declared its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) 3) It has NOT been proven that these ships were in Israel’s *undeclared* “exclusive economic zone”. Rest assured that any ‘confusion’ over who was acting legally or illegally will be addressed in the upcoming independent investigations.

Hey Palestinian Mike in Antwerp ,your choice of crude language to express your blatant hypocrisy ,tells us exactly what type of person you, a hypocrite ,now go and cry on your hero Arafat,s grave ?

Muslim Somali pirates off the coast and in the Gulf of Aden regularly hijack international ships with impunity ,so tell us now who does the water off the coast belong to ,international shipping or Somalia ,let,s hear your dumb response?
