Israel Threatens to Shoot Unarmed Civilians aboard Mercy Ship

[Stretch]

At roughly 3am UST (1am GMT), in international waters 100 miles off the coast of Gaza, at least five Israeli gunboats surrounded the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY and began recklessly cutting in front of the slow-moving civilian craft. The Israeli warships radioed the SPIRIT, demanding that the ship turn around or they would open fire and "shoot." When asked if the Israeli navy was acknowledging that they intended to commit a war crime by deliberately firing on unarmed civilians, the warships replied that they were prepared to use "any means" to stop the ship.
An earlier attempt by Free Gaza to deliver doctors and medical supplies ended on 30 December when Israeli gunboats deliberately and repeatedly rammed the DIGNITY, almost sinking that ship. Rather than endanger the lives of its passengers, the SPIRIT is now returning to Cyprus.

The Nazis allowed Red Cross aid packages to be delivered to occupied territories and even prisoners of war during WW2.

Free Gaza Movement???????

Gaza was freed in 2005.

But Hamas decided freedom meant freedom to take over in a orgy of murder, chucking fellow Palestinians that happened to support Fatah off high buildings (funny how we heard no mass protest over THAT) and using their freedom to attack Israel. So much for a free Gaza.

Yep, the Nazis were such humanitarians....they provided the Jewish population of Europe with a lot of aid.

I'd probably sink the damn ship after one warning.....where did it come from? What is aboard? Would they let the Israelis search it?
