Their FIRST CRIMINAL ACT was sneaking in That was merely a facade for their real purposes, of getting physically involved, they're throwing rocks at the Authorities, which is a CRIMINAL ACT, which justifies their arrests for being criminals It's in the news, catch up with it

I would think a higher standard would be aspired to, or why sign onto a treaty that calls for higher standards?

If not, you SHOULD be directing your question to Mark bJ.

Since, as you say, Hamas has lower standards, that is where you have to go to meet them on a level playing field. Those Arabs have had nearly seven decades to raise their standard but it is only going lower - back into the 7th century.

At over $500,000 per flotilla ship, these so called activists could have used the money to build a hospital in Gaza. Or how about Hamas coughing up terror funds to build medical facilities instead of kassam launch pads? Bad example using Palestinians standing in line to seek medical care in Israel when they could have their own medical facilities if that was a priority. Feel sympathy for the young Israeli soldiers tasked with making sure terrorists aren't disguised as pregnant women of faking disability.

If people cannot visit those living in the West Bank then this means it is also under siege.

Interesting thought. So Israel should allow terror supporters into the country, and even transport them to the disputed area, so they can gain a "kudos" from a meager percentage of people watching this episode? Most people aren't even aware of this as it isn't covered extensively in the news. And those watching it and supporting this illegal invasion of Israel by undesirables are already set in their hatred way so no action Israel makes will change their mind.

The Palmer report by the UN announcing the blockade around Gaza is absolutely, 100% LEGAL!

Immigration violations before even entering the country usually do not require a trial. Countries reserve the right to reject entry to ANYONE at anytime without explanation or trial. You should know this in the US after 9/11 when many ME nationals were denied US visas. For a while, Israelis born in Iran couldn't get US visas - not fair, but a US-right nonetheless. However, these miscreants are receiving ICRC and respective diplomatic visits. Far more than they deserve, and more than they'd get in a "Palestinian" jail if arrested.

Like the pregnant Israeli shot at point blank range by "Palestinians", or the Fogel family killed in their sleep? How about the thousands in Syria slaughtered in just a couple weeks? Even the UN can't seem to voice an opinion on it. How about the plight of women and children in Ashkelon and Sderot who just received a rocket bombardment from Gaza? Nary a word from those seeking to "speak up for those worse off than themselves". And since when is being pregnant a constant medical risk? So what if a pregnant woman waits at a checkpoint, if not an emergency? Better yet - what will become of that pregnant woman if a Hamas terrorist blows himself up at the checkpoint without regard to the civilians around him?? It has happened already. :-((((
