Seems to me Palehorse was correct. Israel has already allowed humanitarian aid across the blockade, this is nothing new except a politician was on the boat for some free publicity. If they had been carrying arms I would have expecting them to be destroyed, or bordered with the offender killed. Luckily, these people were smarter than that.

Here's a little 101 on mankind and the defining groups within it: "Jews" are people practicing a certain religion. "Muslims" too. "People on the boat trying to breach the blockade" are just that. It's not racism, just a bunch of stupid fucks siding with the wrong group.
When I'm rich enough, I'm going to offer ignorant idiots like you free airfare to Gaza strip, all-inclusive, so you can see first hand who's the more fanatic. Don't count on me getting you out, though. Have a week with your AK47 wielding, suicide bombing, belligerent Muslim zealots who can't even help themselves stop killing each other 😀

Well as an atheist who has no reason to side with either religious side, I actually side with Isreal on a lot of these issues but fanatic religious, easy to fool zealots like you advocating shooting at innocent unarmed civilians are why most people side against Israel. This conversation is over.
Did I say unarmed? You able to read at all Turkish or do they not teach you that there? Re-read my post again. If they had been carrying arms I would have expecting them to be destroyed, or bordered with the offender killed.
Maybe you should try reading what is typed instead of assuming. Don't know why I expected more. Actually re-reading your posts in this thread, I should have expected just this, senseless accusations from a moron too focused on what he perceives as the great evil war mongering Americans. Maybe you just step back from your "zomg they want to kill zee childrennn zeeeee childreeeennnnnn" for a minute.
Once they try to break through a military blockade they are no longer innocent. Maybe its wrong and maybe its right but that isn't the point. Stupidity often gets you hurt or killed. Trying to force your way through a blockade of freaking military naval ships is flat out insane.
Next time you see a DUI checkpoint why don't you try just breaking through it and going about your way. See

Way to distort the event. From that same article:
Would you classify the U.S. in Iraq as having "a long-standing tradition of firingy on unarmed civilians?" Because, guess what? The U.S. has killed many, many civilians there because of mistakes made by the military. How come you're holding Israel to a different standard?

Clearly, this incident is representative of U.S. policy in Iraq.
There are evil soldiers in every military. That doesn't mean the military itself or its country is evil. Also, in a time of war, horrible mistakes are unavoidable, despite the best of intentions, and civilians pay the price.
Why don't you point out for us an extended military conflict where there were no actions by the "good side" (because of the criminalality of soldiers or mistakes) that killed, maimed, or brutalized civilians.

I happen to be grateful that nobody was hurt in this otherwise brazen display of stupidity on the part of the protesters. I simply hope that their "aid" makes it into the hands of innocent people who might actually need it, and not the terrorists living and hiding under their skirts...

Ok dumbass, since you called me a moron, I too can call you a moron of great proportions.
First things first, I love America more than your dumb ass ever can because I wasn't born with the "born in the USA" label on my ass. Instead, I struggled and lived alone since age 15, moving from Turkey to U.S. I didn't have family, friends or anything here. I owe a lot to the U.S. and thankfully, morons like you cannot ruin it.
Second, you are a moron not only because of your set perceptions about people you don't actually know, but also because your only defense mechanism is yelling "OMG HE IS AGAINST AMERICA" when you see someone arguing against a certain Israeli action when in fact I had not said anything about the U.S. at all in this thread.
You are a tool and nothing more. Moron.

There is no way cops can know whether you are under influence or not without testing you first. In this scenario however, Israeli military can stop them first, INSTEAD OF SHOOTING THEM, and search their boat or whatever. A few morons in this thread claimed that it is Israel's right to shoot them as soon as they see them approach. Good thing the Israelis have more fuckin sense than morons like RichardE.
Generally, unless they have reason to believe they are in immediate danger, military blockades will attempt to stop ships/turn them around. If you choose to ignore their orders and try to break through the blockade then they will feel threatened, and rightfully so, and I have no problem with them blowing the offender out of the water.
And my point about the DUI checkpoint had nothing to do with them testing you or if you are drunk or not. I was pointing out what would happen if you ignored orders to stop and simply broke through the roadblock and kept on going.
I am glad no one was hurt in this stunt but in reality trying to run a military blockade is insanely stupid. "Hmm, there are a bunch of big ass naval ships over there with big ass guns on them with orders to not let any unauthorized vessels past them. I got a great idea! Lets try to break through!!!!"
Edit: I do agree with the main point of your post though. Up until such time they had reasonable cause to feel threatened they should exhaust all of their other options before resorting to firing on them. Even then, a warning shot from one of those big ass naval ships will usually change their mind.

It might not be the smartest thing for them to do, but if anyone tries anything against Israel, Israel is going to fuck their shit up bad. The Israeli's don't mess around.
It's a blockade, if they let someone through it has failed thus you can not maintain such blockade meaning that your enemy that kills women and children as well will continue doing so.
I wish I lived in your world were you can talk sense into anyone, but here in reality it doesn't work that way.

Just because they are unarmed doesn't mean they are innocent.
