Slowly but surely, the world turns on this cancerous regime.
Turkey has threatened Israel with unprecedented action after Israeli forces attacked an aid vessel, killing 10 peace activists headed to Gaza.
Israel said 10 people died while those on the ship said at least 15 were killed.
A shocked world has responded with outrage. Turkey recalled its ambassador to Israel and warned of unprecedented and incalculable reprisals.
Two Turkish activists were reported to be among those killed in the flotilla. Ankara warned that further supply vessels will be sent to Gaza, escorted by the Turkish Navy, a development with unpredictable consequences.
Israel has sounded an alert throughout the country fearing rocket attacks by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Arab League has called an urgent meeting on Tuesday to decide on a common response. Egypt is under pressure to end the blockade of Gaza while Greece has cancelled a military exercise with Isreal.
The world is waiting for the response from Washington, how will President Obama react to the provocation from America's closest ally.-CNN-IBN

Slowly but surely, the world turns on this cancerous regime.
and slowly, but surely, people like you turn them back![]()
Ha, hopefully something is done here
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Activist my ass. 700 peeps on 6 boats bringing aid. They knew what they were doing. You poke a bear, you will get eaten.
^ Hezbollah "poked a bear" in 2006 and still found a way to kick that ass.
lol Israel losing to a bunch of Arabs with outdated weapons.
lol tactically owned
lol political/military embarrassment
What were they doing, jack?
I wonder if the US will send a message to Israel that they can't just do whatever they want. They should, and the message should be clear. This is horrible PR.
^ unfortunately the criminals have a load of influence in American politics. Their mass propaganda campaign tricks many into thinking they're "the good guys", acting in self defense, victims, etc... and hence you have people who are indoctrinated like our very own Shasta.
AIPAC can suck it.
AIPAC, including many hyper-wealthy Wall St. Jews, owns Congress and the Exec.
I don't think anyone could describe these people of being followers of MLK or Ghandi. But they were responding to a commando raid, they were acting in self defense. They didnt kill any soldiers and their weapons were ty and they were civilians going against one of the best militaries in the world. It's really messed up to hear people defend this . . You don't have the right to kill them because they resist having their ship commandered in international waters. Someone needs to remind these bags that they can't get away with anything they want.
So the activists have a right to defend themselves but the soldiers don't. Glad we cleared that up.
The soldiers had no right to be there
So the activists get a pass for violently beating them with metal poles? I still haven't seen anything that proves the allegation the Israeli forces began the violence.
Was it stupid to do it in International Waters? Seems that way.
Was this some kind of peaceful, aid delivering summer cruise? Not in the least.
If a burglar breaks into your house does he have the right to fight back as you beat his ass.
Yes.
If he kills you does he get the needle
Yes
In your analogy, were you living on a house boat heading for a blockade?
Let's say the FBI breaks into your house without a warrant. You're hiding some illicit materials but they neglected to obtain legal justification for searching your house. They come in while you're home. Before they can speak, you beat them with metal pipes. They fire back while they're laying on the floor being beaten repeatedly with foreign objects. They kill you but they in turn are also severely injured.
What happens next?
It wouldn't make any difference if he did, since the house boat didn't get into the blockade.
I was just pointing out how over simplistic and inaccurate his analogy was.
The FBI cannot come into your house unless you give them permission to do so (or unless they have a search warrant). Otherwise they're breaking the law. Which is no different than what the commandos did. They had absolutely no right to board the civilian ship.
Your analogy fails also because the FBI is a law enforcement unit, and thus another subset of laws apply (including assault to a law enforcement person), which does not apply at all to the situation at sea.
And? I'm pretty sure I made that clear in the analogy.
But they would have had they waited for it to come into their waters.They had absolutely no right to board the civilian ship.
Alright come up with a better analogy then.Your analogy fails also because the FBI is a law enforcement unit, and thus another subset of laws apply (including assault to a law enforcement person), which does not apply at all to the situation at sea.
I think the first part of your post shows you came in with a preconceived notion of my position. I'm not arguing the FBI would have the right to come in. I thought I made it clear but you still thought I was advocating the legality or acceptability of them breaking the law.
