So we all know by now the story behind the attack.
I would like to present this clip, from the thermal cameras aboard a boat filming the attack on the boat.



The thing is, humanitarian activists can't fight like that.
Under many international resolution and the Geneva convention "humanitarian aid cannot be delivered using violence". This is a paradoxical situation where the people on this boat used a disguised humanitarian effort in order to inflict violence upon Israel.

There were 6 ships, carrying 10 thousand tons of aid if I'm not mistaken.
5 of the ships were approached and told they could hand over their aid and after security clearing it would reach Gaza.
5 ships complied, they are now peacefully on their way home with their humanitarian mission accomplished.

Then boat 6, that before approaching Israel had a rally on board saying that they are willing to die a myrtle death (typical).
When Israeli commandos dropped in to a peaceful, humanitarian love cruise it was not expecting a resistance like the one they were greeted with, in the clip you can see how these soldiers keep drooping in from the helicopter.
Anyone, Anywhere must admit that that was a brave feat.

In conclusion, the terrorists aboard were not there to help Gaza, they were there for more violence, they love it.

Pah come on.

If you are being boarded in international waters by a hostile force what else are you going to do other than fight back. It is completly irrelavant whether the Israeli soldiers were attacked or attacked first in my opinion. The cause of the deaths was the illegal Israeli hijack.

Just becasue the passengers of this ship were ready for the Israeli soldiers and gave them a fight does not somehow make them 'terrorists'. Remember it was only passengers on this ship who were the fatalities, no Israeli soldiers were killed.

Where is this proof of terrorists links? Where are the weapons that are to be funneled to Hamas?

I admire your courage trying to present all sides to this story on ATS where anti-Israeli opinion conspires to suppress any information, no matter how valid, other than that which reenforces their agenda.

Fact is nations worldwide initiate hostile acts in international waters when it serves their purpose. Be it the "drug war," anti- piracy missions, etc. The whole "international waters" argument is at best uninformed, at worst an intentional and glaring strawman

This is not to say that Israel did nothing wrong, but people jumping to conclusions before all the facts have seen the light of day is indicative of their own prejudices.

You'e going to get some flack on this thread, but not from those who are willing to consider all the facts without applying their own biases.

So your saying it doesn't matter than they broke the law, cause other people do it all the time? Is that it?

Does that mean that I can murder my neighboor and claim that millions of people do it every year so therefore I'm not to blame?

Please.

Did I say that?

What I said is that military intervention in international waters has legitimacy and precedent.

What I find staggering in this whole situation is that no one realizes that for a certain segment of the "flotilla" it is mission accomplished beyond their wildest dreams. Their campaign achieved exactly what it set out to do. Israel biggest mistake is to have allowed themselves to be baited into a trap which was deliberately set before them. They will pay the price for their stupidity.

My comments are not to defend Israel, they are to identify the whole truth beyond kneejerk reactions.
