Lieberman: "There is no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip"

I for one commend the Israeli Naval Forces for showing benevolent restraint here and not opting to nuke these violent Flotilla aggressors into the Mediterranean seabed.

 

Israel is seriously out of touch with reality. Even if they genuine thought killing people would be "justifiable" for whatever reasons, they have underestimated the political/PR cost of doing so.

 

This is what you get for attacking soldiers with bats and knives, the international media is showing only one side. The r****ds on those ship started to fight first. Four soldiers were injured before they started to fire .

 

wth? The Israeli's killed people aboard a humanitarian ship. That's pretty low even for the Zionists.

 

I wonder what the USA marines would have done if people abroad a humaniteriane ship would attack them with knives and bats and injure them badly. What did those guys expect?

The media in Israel is stating that some of the guys on the ships hoarded the soldiers and took thier weapons so they retaliated. I hope the IDF filmed it so the truth will get out.

 

****ing bastards.

This angers the **** out of me. Its really so so so so ****ing sad that humanitarians out of all people face this kind of attrocity.

Bless them all and their families, doing noble work in the face of such a brutal regime deserves much respect.

why is it the case that its so hard for "Everyone" to bring supplies? Get your head out of your ass puppet.

 

Doesn't really matter what happened. Israeli forces boarding a humanitarian vessel in, not Israeli or Gazan waters, but international waters. They are looking at huge legal issues now. Forcefully boarding a ship in international waters is a violation of international law.

 

I really doubt they are facing "huge legal issues". No one will get prosecuted for this.

 

Well yeah... it's Israel.

But what they did was tantamount to piracy. It would be no different than any other group trying to forcefully board a ship in international waters.

 

Not surprised something like this happened, Israel was in a lose-lose position ever since this freedom flotilla business started. It was a matter of if the bad PR could be contained when the Israelis boarded and diverted the ships elsewhere, but now the dead bodies changes a lot of things.

On the other this is probably the 2nd best outcome (the best being breaking the blockade and setting a precedent for other ships to follow) for these peace activist. They'll get widespread outrage from around the world that hasn't been seen before and the international pressure will be ratcheted up.

You can blame Israel all you want and they do deserve most of the blame, but this freedom flotilla knew that Israel was going to intervene. It was a very clever PR stunt from the beginning.

 

Lost in your own fanatical vortex you are missing the point entirely. Metal wheelchairs can all be melted down together and then re-forged into tanks. This is a threat against the security of Israel. Why can't you understand that these radical paraplegics want to push Israel into the sea?

 

Difficult to understand what happened there, but it seems like violence was first used by the people on the ship? Still, with having seen only superficial information, killing that many people sounds excessive.

 

Based on reports from Israel, the IDF were acting in self-defense against "knives, sticks, gunfire". Now for knives and sticks to be effective, the IDF would need to be in close combat, right? And the gunfire came from pistols, but aren't pistols more likely to be used for close range combat? I would give Israel the benefit of the doubt if violence happened first then they boarded. It would seem, based on reports, however, troops boarded the ship and violence followed.
