hold on now....if there was no blockade self confessed israel haters like iran for instance would be flooding palestine with rockets and other weapons
Israel have used underhanded tactics before to achieve the results they want.
Look at the recent episode where they FORGED aussie passports to assassinate the Hamas leader in Dubai.
Not just Aussie ones, but British as well.
No AMerican ones though
Yeah, I know...Offtopic, but I think its relevant.
where are you getting your news for that? I'm guessing it's coming straight out of Israel. Ties to Al Qaeda? Like Al Qaeda's ties to Iraq? :24: :24: yeah that "intelligence" was about as spot on as WMDs! :24: :24:
The captives from the ship offer a wildly different side than the official Israeli one:
No one is buying the Israeli story except those sympathetic to the Israeli cause of wiping the Palestinians out.
You cannot possibly compare Israel's to The UK & US blockade of Germany and Japan to this. Israel have the Palestinians living in one of the most brutal regimes this planet has ever seen and is literally starving them to death in between frenzied terrorist raids.
Israel in comparison has very little to fear from the Palestinians. Israel is one of the most armed countries in the world, with the most armed standing right behind it. The Palestinians only pose a threat (and it's a tiny percentage of the Palestinian population) because of the brutal and inhumane regime the Israeli's make them live in.
The terrorists they created. The terrorist they continue to create every time they bomb the crap out of the most oppressed people on the planet. You would obviously side with Hulk Hogan in a wrestling match against a 2 year old.
lets put this into perspective....israel is a jewish country,the jews have been the most oppressed people in the history of mankind.they want to defend themselves at all cost from neighbouring countries who truly hate them
yes let's put this into perspective.
The Palestinians had their land given away from them by the a highly oppressive British regime to the Israeli's who immediately began a campaign of oppression against a far smaller and weaker people. Since then the Palestinians have been systematically attacked and brutalised.
Israel have done so with the full support of the international community, until recently, because of that very opinion.
The Jews suffered greatly in WW2. Massively. Everyone feels for their people. But they are now doing what Hitler did to them. And, more to the point, a growing number of Israelis are realising just how wrong it is.
Try the Institute for International Studies... a Danish organization

So you obviously believe the people who were proclaiming themselves martyrs before the voyage even began?
I don't believe that the Palestinians should be wiped out... but I do believe that Hamas is a terrorist organization that she be obliterated.
You do realize that Israel offered a full Palestinian state prior to the second Intifada right? But Arafat and the PLO turned it down and pulled the strings behind the scenes to launch the second Intifada instead so he could keep control of the money flowing in. The Palestinians, led by Hamas, indiscriminately kill civilians in their "war" for freedom... so if I was Israel, I'd sure as fuck want to check the supplies coming into the country prior to them being distributed to terrorists.
3 and 14 December Arafat accepted UN Security Council Resolution 242, Israel's right "to exist in peace and security" and repudiated 'terrorism in all its forms, including state terrorism'.[57][58]
whilst the second part of this is true the opening statement is certianly not true
How many countries are surrounded with enemy that want to see them wiped off the fact of the earth?
How is it Israel has made peace with Egypt and Jordan and a couple others?
in your post 15 you said the whole world thinks arabs are terrorists and are all anti semitic, or words to that effect. That I maintain is simply not true, not everybody susscribes to such an extreme point of viewYou'd know how terroristic this attack was if someone you love got murdered over there. I mean that there were no Arabs among the passengers, most were some demonstrators, but never got to demonstrate.
But they don't want them wiped off the world, do they? Very few muslims believe in that, in the same way very few muslims want a society that completely follows the Qu'ran. You're talking about a few extremists, the likes of Bin Laden and all those the west has bundled under the umbrella Al Qaeda.
You are right, but actually all Muslims(if not everybody and trust me if you know what Israel is hiding you'll wipe them off your selves) wish Israel wiped off, it's not bad to have such feelings in return towards who wants you wiped off.
The Israelis made peace with the other nations under growing international pressure. And most likely because they aren't on the Jews "holy land".
Going back to the original point of this thread - you support the murdering of innocents. Your opinions on this matter are as off the mark as Dana's about memorial day.
Show me where I supported the killing of innocents??
"Very few Muslims" includes Hamas. The extremists seem to be in charge. IMO
As to your outrage it might be nice to have some balance and see you condemn the indiscriminate suicide bombing while at it. I won't claim you support that though??
The whole region is a mess. When you can answer how it is Israel has been at peace with Egypt and Jordan to name a couple then you might have an answer as to why the Palestinians are not wanting peace.
your siding with the Israelis on every issue shows you approve of the slaughter of innocents. That's what they've been doing their for over 50 years.
I explained previously that the reason Hamas are in power is because of the much needed benefits they provide, not because of their ideology. Muslim nations in the middle east do not want to be ruled by the Qu'ran, which is why the likes of Bin Laden are failing miserably. It's the same with the Palestinians. They want democratic elections like the rest of us.
The Israelis didn't make peace with Egypt, it was the other way around. And the leader who signed it was assassinated shortly after because everyone knew it was nonsense on the Israelis side. As part of the deal, Egypt gained modern weaponry from the US which is probably the only reason there is still "peace" between the two nations.
Those agreements are completely different to the Palestinian situation. How could the Palestinians accept a peace agreement from a nation that is constantly trying to wipe them out? And, by all accounts, succeeding. Palestinians want peace with Israel, they just want some of their country back so they can live normal lives. The Israelis want them all dead.
Suicide bombing in comparison to the international terrorism Israel are engaged in is a drop in the ocean and a direct result of the Israeli policies. It's like looking at a grain of sand in comparison to an entire beach.
If I was living under conditions like the Palestinians I'd fight, wouldn't you?
Nope I would not fight
I would get rid of Hamas and negotiate and live in peace
You do realize the the IDF warned the vessels to go to an Israeli port so that the supplies could be inspected prior to distribution in order to make sure there were no weapons included, right? They were warned on multiple occasions to do this or they would be boarded. You also realize that one of the passengers was quoted as saying, (paraphrasing) "we'll have one of two happy endings. Either we'll make it to Gaza or we'll be martyrs". You also realize that this flotilla was sponsored by the IHH, that has been noted to have ties with Al-Qaeda and other global jihad networks?
Israel acted in self-defense... blockades have been used in the defense of countries and in war throughout history. The United States blockaded Cuba to keep Soviet nuclear weapons out of that country, the United States and Great Britain blockaded both Germany and Japan in WWII.
Everyone is so quick to condemn Israel for every little thing they do in the interest of protecting themselves from terrorists.
where are you getting your news for that? I'm guessing it's coming straight out of Israel. Ties to Al Qaeda? Like Al Qaeda's ties to Iraq? :24: :24: yeah that "intelligence" was about as spot on as WMDs! :24: :24:

And it was so obviously full of hardened terrorists:
Even The Times published this:

:thumbup It's top relevant if I can say.Israel have used underhanded tactics before to achieve the results they want.

Not just Aussie ones, but British as well.
No AMerican ones though
Yeah, I know...Offtopic, but I think its relevant.
Ed your sources are just as suspect
You want to believe the worst of Israel
And have totally ignored the fact the boats were warned multiple times in advance not to proceed
