I was in Israel as a US soldier, A glorified techie to be exact. My treatment there was horrible. I got yelled out, spat at, and had rocks thrown at me by civilians. So as far as I'm concerned they can all burn in atomic fire I dont care about them at all.
Israel is hard at work to stop international citizen activists groups from 22 countries that form the Gaza Freedom Flotilla from sailing in less than three weeks to bring international attention to Israel’s brutal siege on Gaza. As a part of Israeli government propaganda, the civil society to civil society project is purposefully and wrongly portrayed by the Israeli government as sending weapons and “material support” to Gaza’s democratically elected government headed by Hamas — a group Israel and the United States have designated as a terrorist organization.
Extensive investigations by the United Nations, Turkey and even the Israeli government concluded there were no weapons on any of the six ships of the 2010 flotilla and that the cargo was consigned to non-governmental organizations in Gaza. However, the Israeli government never lets truth get in the way of its propaganda machine!
Israel’s massive diplomatic offensive on European countries, Turkey, Canada and the United States that strongly demands countries not allow ships and passengers to sail has been followed by a new type of warfare called “lawfare.”
Instead of direct military “warfare,” the Israeli government and its front organizations, American Israeli Public Affairs Council (AIPAC) and the Shurat HaDin Law Center, are using lawsuits filed against insurance and satellite telephone companies that may sell equipment to the flotilla organizers and against citizen activist groups that have raised funds to purchase ships as strategies to attempt to stop the flotilla.

I too am sick of war thats why I am sick of those groups, if they ceased to exist we would have alot less war. We'd have almost no wars since Vietnam if the middle east was wiped away. The rest of the world is like ok fighting got us nowhere lets get along in relative peace and harmony and make the best of this. But then we have those rejects who revel in destruction and cant allow peace, some how the simplest of concepts has slipped past the worlds oldest civilizations.
I have to agree with Sane Thinking. There is a system in place for exactly this cause.
The only reason to sail a flotilla to Gaza is that of provocation.
Before you cheer them on, think for just one second; What purpose does this serve, other than to try and test one of the world's most powerful militaries infront of the world's media?

normal means and that was Ashdod Port in Israel after inspection of the cargo.
Now the Canadians have two ways - Ashdod Port and Raffiah passage that Egypt opened.
This has officially proven the whole flotilla trend to be based around making bad PR to Israel.

Answer me this question then.
You would encourage more flotillas of this nature?
"On the basis that Hamas is the ruling entity of Gaza and Israel is in the midst of an armed struggle against that ruling entity, the blockade is legal," said Philip Roche, partner in the shipping disputes and risk management team with law firm Norton Rose."

Please define 'International view'.
Are you suggesting that everyone except Israel views the Naval Blockade as 'Illegal' ?
