Once you enter the realm of keeping 'all traffic' under your control then it becomes a matter of collective punishment. In that list of banned goods and allowed goods, not all that is asked for of the permitted goods is allowed.
Have to admit Israel blew it this time. This just might open up the blockade.
JERUSALEM – Israel's bloody, bungled takeover of a Gaza-bound Turkish aid vessel is complicating U.S.-led Mideast peace efforts, deepening Israel's international isolation and threatening to destroy the [COLOR=#366388 !important][COLOR=#366388 !important]Jewish [COLOR=#366388 !important]state's[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] ties with key regional ally Turkey.
And while Israel had hoped to defend its tight blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza with Monday's high-seas raid, it instead appeared to be hastening the embargo's demise, judging by initial [COLOR=#366388 !important][COLOR=#366388 !important]international [COLOR=#366388 !important]condemnation[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR].

Excuse me, Idiot Boy, but when you supporting the Hamas regime in Gaza, you are not "innocent", and when you are swinging a 2 x 4 at someone's head, you are NOT unarmed......and even under Canadian law, you could legally use lethal force to defend yourself.

Didn't watch the vid, did you????? These people were certainly not "peaceful".

i do NOT think all Muslims are barbarians, I know Hamas are barbarians.

And, btw, the first part of your post is incoherent.....but if you are denying the western border of Gaza is controlled by Egypt, I suggest you buy a map.


Hahahahaha, you don't know anything about Hamas. They're the only reason Palestinians don't drop dead of starvation and the reason they can get an adequate education.

lmfao. humantarians swinging 2 x 4's , that's definitely an efficient threat to a top 10 military in the world. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
They were reacting to Israeli aggression , it's called self-defense.

MHz you just made my point by not accepting the offer to lade at Ashqelon or Al Arish the organizers of the aid made themselves open to speculation. As far as Israelis approaching in the day. the day offers the ability to see whats coming at a distance and prepare for it, who knows what the consequences would have been if the Israelis had of waited until daytime.
No I'm not claiming they were smuggling weapons, it just seems odd for 5 ships to surrender meekly while the last violently protests.
I'm pretty sure radar works at night so being sneaky wasn't part of their plan. lol

Perhaps they told the Israeli Navy that they could not board their ship, as they had the right to do. Israel certainly puts up a stink in the news when they are threatened with a boycott. Time to take their weapons away also.

Funny, if you read ALL the news reports on this, there's so much spin, the truth is almost lost.



First of all, the organizers were repeatedly warned that the ships would be stopped and inspected.

They chose to ignore the early warnings, before the ships even set sail.

They were hailed and told to stop and prepare to be boarded.

They refused.

Then they were boarded by force, where the Israeli Navy was met with axes, pipes and limited gun fire.

They responded likewise.

The Israeli's have impounded the ships, and detained the passengers for deportation. They have also stated that the aid will be allowed to go on, once the ships are searched for weapons and munitions.

Had the organizers and their supporters not tried to be dicks, this could have easily been avoided. But since the organizers only recognize and condemn the Israeli blockade, while ignoring the blockade by Egypt, it's safe to say that this is simply an antagonist move. Supported by morons and defended by like minded idiots.

But I fully suspect that this will be lost on so many here and around the world.
Bear you are correct on this. Only the Israeli haters will spew the distorted truth.

Your absolutely right about radar, however it gives only location not what it is or who's flag the ship is flying.
They can can tell the Israeli navy whatever they want, however there is an embargo which the Israelis intend to continue. You want to take Israeli weapons away make you do the same for all their neighbours from Morocco through to Indonesia.

The "peace activists" cough cough choke choke lol got exactly what they wanted. They're not stupid, they know Israel and Israeli's are the only country and people in the world not allowed to defend themselves. This had nothing to do with humanitarian aid and everything to do with goading Israel and creating just the outcome that we saw. The "peace activists" cough cough choke choke lol I'm sure are disappointed that so few of them were killed. Would have been so much better if Israel had sunk 2 or 3 of ships, way more impact with a higher casualty rate. lol

2 days ago a woman in the flotilla said "there two possible happy endings to this trip....martyrdom, or we reach Gaza".

lol, yeah martyrdom a happy ending to a humanitarian trip. Tells you all you need to know right there.

Check out the clip, the Humanitarians are singing Kumbaya in the background. lol

You aren't going to get an argument from me on that. The only ones that would be upset are the ones selling all the weapons and their Bankers.

Who the **** cares? Learning where Israel is on a map is hardly an essential educational aspect.
Besides I'm sure Palestinians know far too well of Israel's existence and where it is without the use of a map.

Turkey made that statement even before last night and there was a 2nd convoy already scheduled before last night, the warships will be joing them now the first convoy was boarder by a military force who did more than just board, they used their weapons they had with them for the hi-jack.

Turkey threatens action; Israel on alert - World - ibnlive
Now if Turkey does escort the next convoy, they also maybe attacked. Israel did attack the "U.S.S. Liberty".

Did the Liberty shoot back, there was supposed to be somebody from the Liberty on that aid convoy. The last vid I saw that interviewed some survivors makes it clear are still pretty pissed about being abandoned by their Commander and Chief. In that Johnson has been quoted as saying, "I want that goddamn ship on the bottom." one has to question the sanity of your leaders. A real Leader would have had every NATO country pointing barrels at Israel. Really taking out an Allie just because they recorded Pilots question the orders to kill the Egyptian Soldiers as they could not spare the men to guard them, Syria need the troops and so they killed them all in an hailstorm of bullets. A war crime. Did you think they would repent and get civilized?

Ah yes another Rachel Correy.. :roll:
How is that trial going?

Oh yeah...

A little Hamas " decent education"
Yes, is this guy coming to your place for an extended visit?
