Exactly, nobody is blaming Israel for this.

Thanks Israel!
Israel is within its rights to search ships that have announced intentions to break its blockade... for all we know, maybe they were planning on making sure that they weren't smuggling in weapons or other blocked items before sending them on their way.
had the Turks not opened fire on the Israelis, their deaths could have been avoided.
The ships set sailed from European ports, were examined by custom officials and no weapons were on board. There were 36 different nationals on board, what makes you think that it is only Turks who wanted to set a fight with armed to the teeth commandos, the allegation that the people on ship opened fire on Israeli army is absurd. Only you have to listen and believe in propaganda to claim such a thing. You don't take a risk against an army with only a pistol in your hand. This is a well known "after propaganda " of the victorous side. "They attacked first" .. Yeah, we fell for that.
1) the aid ships were 80 miles out in international waters.
2) civilians killed while asleep

3) why were the ships getting routed to Ashdod? i bet not even 5% of the aid would have reached the Palestinians.
4) what gives israel the right to blockade gaza? widespread diseases and malnutrition due to collective punishment of the entire Palestinian population is an international crime
5) all of the israel-can-do-know-wrong apologists here should be ashamed for blaming the victims. for once just admit, they screwed up.
1) the aid ships were 80 miles out in international waters.
under international law, israel was well within its rights to stop the flotilla, go back in the thread and read up
2) civilians killed while asleep

you forgot to mention "according to eye witnesses" which means ULTRA BIASED beyond belief.
secondly, I wouldnt believe an article which lies in its details . 9 ships? there were 6. 800 people? there were 600 to 700. 16 unarmed people killed? try people with knifes, clubs, and guns. 50 nationals? there were 36.
in a few minutes I have already deemd that article full of lies and bias. what makes you think that i will sit here and believe an "eye witness" claiming people were killed in their sleep.
HELL if a country's navy is right outside telling your ship to stop or get boarded, I dont see how any of them would be able to sleep through it.
3) why were the ships getting routed to Ashdod? i bet not even 5% of the aid would have reached the Palestinians.
ashdod is near a prison where these people will sit if they dont peacefully get deported.
Israel on MULTIPLE occasions said they would transfer the supplies for the flotilla peacefully and acceptable in Israel's eyes.
4) what gives israel the right to blockade gaza? widespread diseases and malnutrition due to collective punishment of the entire Palestinian population is an international crime
how about a terrorist organization coming into power and the launch of hundreds of rockets and mortars at israeli civilians?

physically, no they didnt screw up. politically they did, which i agree on.

You probably missed the footage where Israeli commandos are hammered with sticks right upon their landing.
what exactly is toothless international condemnation going to do to Israel?Netanyahu should consider a career in advertising, because PR like this is priceless.
Assuming that that was the initial point of contact (The ship and the occupants might have been attacked before we don't know that for sure) that shows how amateur/provacative the Israeli army is acting. Why on earth are you sending the commandos in the middle of the crowd without firing tear gas etc ? If every riot in the world were suppressed by gun fire like Israel does the world would be a big quiet dictatorship.

Wow!
The Zionist apologists are coming out of the woodwork.
What exactly does killing 15 activists on a ship carrying cement and wheelchairs do for Israel? Nothing.what exactly is toothless international condemnation going to do to Israel?
a strongly worded letter from the UN isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Don't blame them entirely. It's a Pavlovian response whenever their master asks them to do their bidding:the jig is up. Israel has shown their true nature. so have the Israeli supporters.
true. the comments here tell us far more about the posters than about the incident.
some people think Israel has the right to kill aid workers in international waters.
the jig is up. Israel has shown their true nature. so have the Israeli supporters.
had Israel let the ship continue on and break the blockade, what's the point of it? next thing you know, weapon smuggling will resume and rockets will be raining down on Israel from Gaza once again, the reason the blockade came to be in the first place.What exactly does killing 15 activists on a ship carrying cement and wheelchairs do for Israel? Nothing.
The "aid workers" in question were armed and attacked the Israeli troops who fired back in self defense. It appears Israel had clear justification under international law to board and inspect the ships at the point in question.true. the comments here tell us far more about the posters than about the incident.

Oh yeah.no, the countries' leaders will understand israel's position. those in power.

The ships set sailed from European ports, were examined by custom officials( no the ships were not examined by customs officials) and no weapons were on board.( just for shit and grins lets pretend that a customs official did inspect the boats...there was nothing preventing the boats from taking on cargo after they left port....) There were 36 different nationals on board, what makes you think that it is only Turks who wanted to set a fight with armed to the teeth commandos, the allegation that the people on ship opened fire on Israeli army is absurd. Only you have to listen and believe in propaganda to claim such a thing. (actually you are wrong-- if they had nothing to hide then why not let the commandoes baord ? YES-- the ships occupants did draw first blood)You don't take a risk against an army with only a pistol in your hand. This is a well known "after propaganda " of the victorous side. "They attacked first" .. Yeah, we fell for that.
