Rosa Parks was looking for trouble too. Of course they are looking for trouble, it's a protest action.

I thought it was an innocent shipment of humanitarian aid?

It was, until Israelis boarded it.

Did Rosa parks beat and stab the police that came to arrest her?

She should've.

 

[nick1985]

She should've.

If she had, she would have accomplished nothing.

No, but would you want Rosa Parks shot in the head if she did?

 

[nick1985]

Huh?

The whole point is comparing Rosa Parks to these "peace activists" is a slap in the face to Rosa Parks.

 

[theeedude]

If she had, she would have accomplished nothing.

She would also have accomplished nothing if she listened to authorities and gave up her seat. Resisting unjust authority is the key to protest.

The peace activists were willing to give up their lives to fight this blockade of civilian goods to Gaza. More than can be said for Rosa Parks.

 

[Narmer]

Yes she would have. Violence accomplishes far more than peaceful disobedience. It is only recently that people started using peaceful disobedience.

Stunning

No shit dude.

 

[theeedude]

Stunning

For Israel, it sure is, they have no clue how to deal with this, because they are in the wrong.
The blockade is there to enforce collective punishment regime against civilians. The flotilla shone a bright light on that, and now Israelis are scattering like cockroaches.

 

[nick1985]

No shit dude.

Its that new "progressive" thinking I guess.

You have officially brought AT P&N down to a new low.

Your skills of reasoning are so fucked up it's not even amusing any more. Who are you? Seriously.

Yeah, these people meant well. But the pressure will have to be sustained, which means more clashes will have to happen before Israel succumbs.

What is the caliber of "reasoning skills" demonstrated by you in that post? I will let you self-evaluate.

Holy wow.

Exactly why he wanted her to. :awe:

 

[dainthomas]

Then why fight back against an inspection if you're not carrying any contraband? Must have been those super-scary guys carrying paintball guns.

 

[dammitgibs]

If you wanna be a hero and a martyr and run a blockade, show up with some bigger guns next time, actually put up a fight. Don't pretend you're defenseless, then throw a sucker punch, and when you get shot in the face cry like a bitch and claim you were just defenseless humanitarian peace activists.
