So Who is calling the shots??
And what is the Goal ?
And why should an attack in International waters not be investigated by the UN ???
And if the same incident happened to one of your ships what would happen ? Get me right here why is there a 2 standard rule for Israel ?

Errrr,Israeli government?

To stay in the chair for as long as possible and to get as many influential friends as possible happy. If it happens to go together with nation interests it is pure coincidence. Politicians.
And why should an attack in International waters not be investigated by the UN ???
I do not know, but i guess that both UN being more anti-Israeli then not ,and the fact that Israeli commandos killed 9 people kind of make it hard on Israel to go with this?
And if the same incident happened to one of your ships what would happen ? Get me right here why is there a 2 standard rule for Israel ?
You mean if Israel would send humanitarian aid to Turkish Kurds while there is active fighting between Turkish army and Kurd militants? I guess that Turkey also would have stopped this ship using force if necessary. If they would be stupid enough to use commandos trained to kill to stop this vessel too, i guess it would be the same. Heavy protest in Israel and Turkey using anything it can to avoid UN investigation.

You know, the question is..Why is Israel a member of the UN?
I'm guessing its just to add some credibility to its polotics..
But the fact is, most people now know that Israel has ignored the last 62 UN ressolutions given to them....
So why do you think they are still there???
BTW, I think the UN is a bunch of crap..It can't function as a "United Nations" implies when they have 5 countries with veto power....
Its just not democratic..Lucky for Israel though as the US has vetoed many ressolutions aimed at Israel.
If the majority of the UN members dissagree with Israel I'd say maybe Israel is doing something wrong..

That's just a horrible thing to say! In a war the people that are responsible for it aren't hurt. Everyone else is.

Israel must send Turkey a clear message that if Turkish warships are sent to accompany the next flotilla trying to break the embargo on Gaza, these will be considered acts of war by Israel , Uzi Dayan, former deputy Chief of General Staff, told Army Radio Monday morning.

JSF = NATO designed 'Joint Strike Fighter'; Israel does not have it. They rely on slightly older technology for their air-force. Turkey owns roughly 120 JSF's with possible stealth technology, not to mention various other fighter planes that have, until just recently, been the pinnacle of aviation envy.

Yes, I agree totally.
But I think a lot of people like war - to win, to occupy their bored minds, to enlist for something to do etc. Not to mention the fat cats who make a lot of money from war.
None of these people give a thought to suffering people. It makes me sick.
Let's face it, humans are into war and always have been.
