Flotilla terrorists wanted to die:
Khaibar is the name of the last Jewish village defeated by Mohammed's army in 628, PMW explained. Many Jews were killed in the battle, which marked the end of Jewish presence in Arabia, and there are Muslims who see that as a precursor to future wars against Jews.

“The chant is often heard as a threat to Jews to expect to be defeated and killed again by Muslims,” PMW added.

Al-Jazeera also interviewed a woman who said that the flotilla participants' goal was "one of two happy endings: either Martyrdom or reaching Gaza."

Following is the transcript from Al-Jazeera TV as translated by PMW:

Reporter: "Despite the Israeli threats and several unexpected delays, the arrival of the ships at the meeting point before sailing to the Gaza Strip inflamed the emotions and the enthusiasm of the participants.

While singing songs reminiscent of the Intifada, participants expressed their longing to reach Gaza.

A participant: "Right now we face one of two happy endings: either Martyrdom or reaching Gaza."

When will fools in Israel learn what they are up against a sec who glorifies 1400 yr old genocides of Jews? Against a people who will not stop until you are dead who do not feel pity remorse or pain... Next time use torpedoes....

...and knives..and they were firing pistols. Wonder if they had any of those 2 yr old terrorists they like with them.

""It was like a well-planned lynch,” one IDF officer said. “These people were anything but peace activists.”

lol more propaganda bullshit. the attack happened at 4 AM. yet its broad daylight in that pic. lol
 
After giving the pro-Israeli fan boys their due chance to hold a pep rally, its time to point out the UN is already in emergency session regarding this incidents, and now it may indeed be time to see what EXACTLY the international community does about it.

And I suspect its going to be more than a strongly worded letter and it may be the official end of the three year old Gaza blockade.

And while the USA and Obama have not said anything to commit the US position yet, the question becomes, will the USA use a veto to save Israel's butt this time? We may have our answer soon.
 
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.

I see our resident anti-Israeli goof ball continues to show his true colors...

lol. The UN will do nothing. The international community will do nothing. You are a fool if you think otherwise. Everyone knows this.
 
lol. Looks like those 15 peace activists deserved to die. The Israelis should be commended for their restraint in killing only 15 of these fools. Everyone knows this.
And yet, nobody is commending Israel. Hmmm.
 


reactions sure. just as we all are reacting, so would i expect world leaders to do something, but have any instilled a ban, embargo, military occupation, etc on israel? no.


they want to know why israel did this. once they bring in the rule books on international law, as well as footage, the leaders will go " oh wow ok, we understand"

yea, I dont expect that from the arab side. but what more of an embargo on israel can those arab states do? lol
 
lol. The UN will do nothing. The international community will do nothing. You are a fool if you think otherwise. Everyone knows this.

i have to agree. nothing will be done.

wich is why we are going to continue to have shit like this in the news.

now im not saying to let Israeli fend for itself but they need to be held accountable. seems the US is willing to ignore a lot. Neither side in this fight are innocent or right.

your suspicions and your hopes and dreams seem to frequently coincide.

you want to hold soldiers accountable for defending themselves?

what is the appropriate response to people shooting at you?

Absolutely nothing will happen. Wait and see.

The US licked Israel's sack after it killed 34 American sailors on USS Liberty, you think we are going to do anything different over some aid ship?
 
You probably missed the footage where Israeli commandos are hammered with sticks right upon their landing.

The liberal fools on this board will ignore those videos. The OP still hasn't updated his post with it. You know that if there was a video of Israelis slaughtering innocents he would have put it there. But there isn't. Instead there is a video that shows the truth of what happened out there, and that truth is different from what the liberal fools on this board want, so they will ignore it. Everyone knows this.

and that argument goes both ways. the ship was attacked and they defended themselves.

seems attacking another countries ship should warrant defending it.

and there is more then this that Isral needs to be held accountable for. anyone that thinks they don't pull bullshit whenever they think they can get away wit his nuts. As i said NIEHTER side is right or innocent.

idk, does legally boarding a ship that's about to run a blockade really count as "attacking" it?

5 other ships went along peacefully and there were no incidents on those ships.

Just politicians pandering to their liberal media. The truth about this flotilla of terror will eventually come out, and when it does this incident will be forgotten. In fact, this incident will be forgotten in a month. Everyone knows this.

With whose army? You need might to impose your will. You think the US and it's sailors will go along with shooting down and sinking Israeli assets enforcing blockade? Not going to happen. Israel will keep this so-called blockade up until missiles stop reigning in on Israeli citizens.

*it's not really a blockade when Israeli foolishly allows medicine and food in and even buys and trucks it for them

Um, who cares? Israel and Palestine have been killing each other for decades and the UN routinely condemns and passes meaningless resolutions (almost always against Israel, regardless of the provocation).

Again ITS LEGAL TO BOARD A SHIP IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS TO ENFORCE A BLOCKADE AND AT LEAST INSPECT ITS CARGO. This is in fact not considered attacking a ship under international law. This is particularly true if the ship declares an intent to run the blockade.

While we will have to wait for more info on which ships were involved with this, some of the ships breaking the blockade apparently either had more than one international flag flying at once or switched identifying flags at sea, which is in violation of article 92 of the UN Convention on The Law of The Sea. (The ship is considered as a ship without a nationality if they do that.) This means that ANY NAVY OF ANY NATION IN THE WORLD CAN LEGALLY BOARD AND INSPECT THE SHIP IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

if they boarded the ship in international waters then there is a problem. They should of waited till it was in Israeli waters. Then they could slaughter, skin and tan these people. I would buy a wallet of sufficient quality.

What is the problem boarding them in international waters?

Obviously they (israel) subject themselves to international law by doing so. Is that a problem? I guess it depends on what they do. Killing 15 brown people in international water while not really a big deal is gonna piss somebody off.
