They worry about them blowing up what they love, and the reason they do this is because there country was taken from them. The Israeli people came into Palestine and took from these people there homes and places they loved. Its was maddening too speak too an Israeli women who told me that she is for peace but feels that the 20 foot wall surrounding Gaza is necessary, lol. From my experiences as hard as it is too say it felt more like Nazi Germany the way they were treated then any civilized country. Some might not agree with this, but i was there and it was hurtful too see what Israel had done to keep "safe".

    go watch the videos. At first I was shocked to see the (peaceful lol) "aid workers" attacking the idf soldiers with rocks and pipes and fire, but then I realized people would gloss over that fact and instead focus on injuries that arose from their violence, and isreal would be blamed yet again. sfstandard

    lol the ship was checked? metal detectors? and x-rays were even used? by whom? lol

    so if someone at the airport, since that's what you brought up earlier, refuses to get searched we should just line him up and shoot him?..........just because that boat showed resistance in getting searched, it doesn't give them the right to just start shooting people.......you must not value life very much......in my world it takes an awful crime to be committed before any shootings take place...........I am sure there was other ways to handle the situation.......maybe force the boat to stop and turn around.......get help and forcefully search the boat......I'm sure there are many other ways to get that damn boat checked out.....I hope the world comes down hard on those murderers

I would love to see how people would react if someone claimed a part of the U.S. It simply would not be tolerated, as it shouldn't.

    This is kind of the problem I was referring to.

    to garcia, I think, it's on the other page now: um, I didn't say they offered to check the ship that was trying to break the blockade. I said they would have checked the shipments had the aid workers sent them in differently, like they could have done. I did see "aid workers" attacking soldiers as they landed on the ship, so even if the idf was going to offer to search the ship they didn't seem to have a chance to ask. again, why didn't the aid workers just bring the supplies in normally? you have no answer because this was all publicity nonsense. I mean, did they think they were going to break the israeli military's blockade? sneak thru and run onto shore showering the poor palestinians with bananas and band-aids? get real.

    to brunson re his insane airport analogy: jfc go back to lurking. painful.

    no it's painful to watch you defend a bunch of murderers.......those people had no weapons and did not deserve to die.....you can keep ASSUMING that it was a publicity stunt all you want but that's all it is an assumption.......the dead people, the aid on the ship, and no weapons on ship are all facts......why is this so hard for you to grasp?
  9. If it's so clear that they were just doing was just a publicity stunt then why did the Isreali forces decide to shoot and kill them? Wouldn't they just be like oh they want us to be aggressive, " they want to end up looking like the victims with no guns or weapons"and deal with it another way. and besides this was on international waters, Isreal does not own the fucking ocean. There is no jusification to the lives that were lost, just like there is no jusification to the lives that are lost every day from the isreali occupation.

    What im saying is that the Palestinians deserve their own country in one way or another, if thats splitting up Israel or something else, Im not really sure. 50-60 years ago they were told too go back and take over a country where people lived and had there homes, house is this right in any way!

    so the israelis should have let them run the blockade? what optons were there, exactly?

    for hooperzl: I don't think anyone disputes that the palestinians deserve their own country. the pronblem here is you have one land and two peoples that claim it. I'm all for living and working together, but it's hard to blame isreal for wanting to keep out people that bomb schoolbuses.

    How is that clear to the Israeli soldiers who took over the boat? What was clear is that a boat was attempting to go to Gaza, a place where people try to sneak in weapons everyday in order to launch attacks against Israel. A place where missles are launched on Israeli cities.

    If they want to bring aid into Gaza they can do it the proper way and allow it to be inspected instead of trying to sneak it in. You think they didn't know what the result was going to be? If they don't want to deal with Israel how about take the boat to Egypt and bring it into Gaza over the border like the rest of the aid. But bringing aid to Gaza wasn't their motive. Their motive was to do exactly what happened
  15. If this flotilla was simply about humanitarian aid, as opposed to provoking a response from Israel, then why not sail directly to Egypt and enter Gaza through the border it shares with Egypt? Oh, that's right, Egypt had sealed the border until today. Why? Because Egypt is just as afraid of Hamas as Israel is.

    It simple: Israel has a right to exist. Period. Unless and until her Arab neighbours can accept this, there will never be peace. The israelis have offered the Palestinians their own nation (with prudent restrictions on militarization) to no avail. Israel has offered more to the Palestinians than any of their so-called Arab brethren and still they get shit on when they choose to defend themselves.

    If I were a Jew in Israel, I would tell the world to go FUCK themselves, and announce that the next missile strike on Israeli territory would result in a nuclear retaliation on Tehran, followed by Riyadh, Damascus, etc.

    JFC, they bombed their schoolbuses, because their houses were bulldozed, they flung bombs because they were flung from their houses. This is not rocket science my friend

    And Milo and Zepp, how does the politcal movement known as Zionism play in all of this?

    what you seem to keep missing is the fact that the blockade itself, and the current methods of aid (controlled by Israel) are THE DIRECT CAUSE of the humanitarian crisis.

    like I said earlier. If someone sets my house on fire, I doubt I'm going to let them control the hose to put it out.

    If their motive was to bring attention to the fact that the blockade is leading to the crisis then good for them, and fuck anyone that wishes to perpetuate it.
    Edited By: Neeek Jun 1st, 2010 at 11:40 PM
  18. actually, terrorists are the cause of the humanitarian crisis. that's like blaming the government up for locking up someone's dad just because he murdered someone.

    and even if the analogy was correct, would you prefer water that has been regulated or checked by the alleged arsonist, or nothing?
  19. How can anyone not support Israel? Clear as day!
  20. lol @ accepting a method of inspection/regulation/restriction that results in a humanitarian crisis.

    its nothing like your analogy, because the people being affected laregely have nothing to do with your terrorists. you're not hurting them, your just breeding more and causing suffering. kudos on your strategy.

  21. I'd love to hear the alternative.
  22. dont starve and oppress people is one alternative I thought of. pretty groundbreaking.
  23. So, here's my question: let's assume that, tomorrow, Israel comes out and announces the following new policies:

    *End of new settlements in Gaza and the West Bank
    *Destruction of all current settlements
    *Right of return for all Palestinians in the occupied territories
    *Return to 1968 borders
    *Full recognition of the Palestinian state, and the funding of roadways between the two disjointed territories

    (IIRC, these are the demands of the missile launchers and school bus bombers, who would then, presumably, stop...)

    What do you think the result would be for the Israeli state? What do you think the result would be for the Jews of Israel?

    Please answer in complete sentences, with clearly stated effects.

    Lol at alternative. They never have solutions. Its called fantasy land.
  25. I don't know much about the incident but here is an email sent to me by my Jewish Law Students Group:

    Throughout Jewish history, we Jews have been the target of "Blood Libels". Draining a baby's blood for Matzah on Passover, stealing organs in Haiti, and everything in between.

    Today, we see yet another such blood libel. The Israeli Defense Force is being falsely accused for killing "innocent humanitarian workers" on a "Flotilla". The reality could not be farther from the truth.

  26. Cliff Notes

    Palestinian thugs use Gaza as a launching pad, and get blockaded.
    Dumb Turks load a ship and think they're gonna pierce one of the most formidable military forces in the World.
    Dumb Turks disobey orders to dock in Israel.
    Dumb Turks react violently to the bordering of their ship.
    Dumb Turks die.
    I got no sympathy for the dead, dumb, Turks, 9 less carbon emitters.

They could have easily cooperated and allowed the searches to enter an Israeili port to be searched before the aid was sent to Gaza but they didn't do that because that was not their motive. You don't go to certain places in the world without knowing the consequences. Taking a boat into Gaza is one of those regions. If Turkey knew the destination of this ship than they are at fault here. No country in the EU would have ever allowed a ship to leave their port to sail to Gaza

    People in Gaza regularly launch missles into Israel. Israel has every right to protect itself and it is ridiculous to think they should just allow uninspected goods to enter. I have slept in a bomb shelter in Ashkelon before, the target of Gaza missles.

    There is a lot of anti Israeli government talk in this thread. Also a lot of thoughts from people who clearly have little to no knowledge of recent Middle East history specifically post Ottoman Empire. I challenge anybody here to give me a government in the Middle East they would prefer to live under over Israel.

    this should end the thread. whether or nor you agree with the blockade, if it was truly aid and only aid, why sould the ship not stop, get inspected and then the aid would be delivered.
