Wait a Minute

So let me get this straight. These people knowingly violated an Israeli Naval Blockade, were given instructions for where to go if they wanted to deliver their aid, but still decided belligerently forge ahead with their plan? It was a suicide mission on their part that was designed specifically to instigate a military response that was all but forced by those violating clearly declared policy. This reminds me of the crap about how America is responsible for terrorism on itself. Bull Shit. It's like saying rape victims were asking for it.

I'll say these people are lucky to not have been blown clear out of the water and that the Israelis only resorted to live ammo AFTER the people on the boat began savagely attacking the soldiers. Let it be known, it is NOT illegal for the Israelis to board these ships after giving warnings that were subsequently ignored. It IS illegal for those on the boat to attack those commandos.

Meanwhile, N Korea blows a rival country's ship out of the water unprovoked and the world does nothing.

If you play with fire, prepare to get burned.
