Oh yes and this is rich
Second, Israel isn't stupid. They aren't going to board and detain completely innocent civilians because that would bring them a world of crap. Do you seriously believe that Israel is just evil and wants to kill and detain innocent people for no reason and deal with the consequences? Obviously, something else was going on, but CNN (and every other member of the liberal media) wants to spin it against Israel.
I have yet to see evidence that Israel is not completely batstuff insane. EVERYTHING they did was wrong, boarding in international waters, killing passengers and wounding several, then detaining the whole crew. You can't do that. And now one of the commandos that killed 6 people is in line for a loving medal.
I am not joking.
Third, they certainly weren't innocent civilians as 8 people were killed by them before and during Israel's boarding of the ship.
What the forget are you talking about. 10 COMMANDOS WERE INJURED, ALL OF THEM SURVIVED. Also, self-defense takes hold here for the flotilla crew. It was loving 4 am in the morning and their ship was being shot at by the Israeli warships, then helicopters flew over and commandos swung down ropes with machine guns. How would you have reacted? If you're being boarded by a tyrannical state Illegally under all those conditions you have every piece of common sense to defend yourself and your buddies. Besides, why couldn't the Israeli forces just jam the loving rudders? This is completely doable without boarding the ship.
Fourth, do you really think that it's only the Islamic terrorist groups that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? Since Syria and Egypt can't beat Israel in a real war, it makes perfect sense for them to fund and support anti-Israel terrorist groups. Obviously, Turkey wants in on the Israel destruction party too, which makes sense, as they all share the same ideology.
Your allegations hold zero ground.
Turkey was one of Israel's allies for one, and Turkey's the one they managed to piss off the most. This is pretty self destructive seeing as Turkey's naval capabilities are far FAR better then Israel's, with higher technology and more forces at their disposal.
You say I think Israel's evil, well I do think they're pretty loving bad, but look who's talking. You make all these allegations towards Muslims, on what grounds? Come on, spill it, because not all Muslims are fundamentalists, and even less of them are terrorists. On top of that terrorism is not born from religious views anyways! (otherwise all Muslims = terrorists, all Christians = terrorists, etc.) Terrorism is born out of world views, usually when an oppressive country makes your life miserable.
To add to that, everyone knew this was a humanitarian aid flotilla, there was literally no reason to think otherwise. And there is still no evidence to prove otherwise, unless you buy into the propaganda which changes the entire story almost daily.
Fifth, that ship was purposely trying to go through the Israeli blockade. It's called a blockade for a reason, and any true humanitarian group is going to get permission beforehand from Israel (to let them through), as is done all the time. Obviously, it wasn't a humanitarian group.
They never got to the blockade. THAT'S THE POINT. They were attacked well outside of Israeli waters, under some shaky logic like Preemptive Self Defense (the same logic that led to the Iraqi war), which by the way does not work in a logical world (boils down to you being potentially dangerous to yourself, so you need to kill yourself). If Israeli had a single neuron in their skull they would have waited for the flotilla to reach the blockade, in which case they would have been allowed to capture the ship, technically. One of the major points of the flotilla was to highlight this terrible blockade to the world, which they could have done by being captured in said blockade, on top of trying to get supplies to the Gaza region. Being caught in the blockade is a brave and effective way of making it relevant.
What's funny is that another pro-Palestinian ship is trying to break the Israeli blockade and they are going to do the same thing they did with the last ship. Seriously, what's wrong with defending yourself against a ship that either wants to attack you, or is going to give supplies to people who want to attack you?
Attack you with what? Construction materials? Lobs of food?
Stop making bullstuff up you idiot. There was nothing sinister on that ship. Also the reason the Gaza strip has it in for Israel is because they are being besieged by them. You expect perfect passive victims out of people and I'm sorry but no one is like that.
