Hmmm, obviously..........Israel (Judea) predated the Koran, but thanks to the Romans.......however, if you will check out the lovely educational videos from Hamas I posted below, you will notice they don't mention Israel either.....just Jews.
Oh, so. Canadians and Israelis engage in exactly the same practise, boarding ships on the high seas to search for terrorists and weapons. For Canada, that is OK.......for Israel not, even though Canada's role can hardly be called direct self-defense as we were on the other side of the world (and haven't been attacked since 1945).......and Israel was a few miles off its own coast (and is constantly attacked).
EXACTLY the same thing.
Had there been anybody on board stupid enough to attack Canadians, we'd have killed lots of people....our sailors were trained.....twice in the chest, once in the head.
As for the international Community.........who cares? The truth is not majority rules.
And the UN is only slightly better than the NSDAP
