It's no different than police officers setting up road blocks when there's an APB or dragnet for an escaped/escaping criminal, or vehicles smuggling contraband.
Will you fight officers who inspect your vehicle because they have no probable cause?

The world is better without idiots like her, more protesters like her should get run over. Maybe she should have asked the terrorist not to blow up a bus and the family home would have been spared. Israel does not play games with terrorists, their families and the Palestinians who voted in a terrorist organization to government in the first place.
In order for the Palestinians to have any chance for a decent future Israel needs to retake Gaza OR have an international force govern and police that strip. It has been made clear to the world that the Palestinians cannot keep their rockets grounded. If the Palestinians or ANYONE here thinks that sending rockets into Israel will bring peace, then they are an idiot. It's the Palestinians who need to wake the fuck up and start acting like contributing members to the international community.

Why don't these aid ships go to ports in Egypt or Israel where it actually stands a chance to get into Gaza? These "humanitarians" don't care about the Palestinians, they just want to get Israel into the headlines for trying to protect their citizens against rocket attacks. Running a blockade will NOT get aid into Gaza and these idiots who run these flotilla ships know this. The blockade is not going away, they need to deal with it or face consequences.
I can't blame Israel one bit. Its a legally enforced blockade to make sure weapons aren't getting to Hamas to be fired at Israelis, that simple. Personally, I think they should stop risking their men by raiding these boats. Instead, one shot across the bow and if they keep coming one shot on target. I think one of those flotilla boats would go under in less than a minute. One warning shot, one kill shot. Perfectly legal blockade, perfectly illegal flotilla.

i want to fuel this flame war
Israel is pwning n00bs cuz jews have hella Xp + $$... they are the L337 righteous international actors on higher moral ground that can impose its will when they feel "threatened" by palestinians throwing stones across the boarder... oh and theyre pretty good at convincing their overly nationalistic population of this using propaganda/mass media with a splash of religion/zionism
jews need to leave the middle east and go back to germany! ya i went there.

but if israel didn't carry out an act of piracy (which is what they did under "United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea")
there wouldn't be as large an outcry
the validity of those on board defending against the Israeli forces is because they were boarded in international waters (an attack) so they have all the right in their actions.
If Israel boarded them legally; any aggression by members on the ship would support Israels actions... but who knows if they would still have been aggressive when out of international waters

Yeah because people that live in palestine should be treated like dogs. I mean who wants to be clean and healthy and educated.
Because you know, oppression only leads into love and peace.
You know you would think zionists would understand what it's like to be treated like dogs.
Give them more nukes, maybe it'll make them more friends.

To all the people talking about the ship being boarded in international waters, I have a question.
What if Israel waited a few more hours until the ships were 100 metres inside the blockaded area and then proceeded to board the ships with the same results (people dying).
Would you say they had the right to do so, or would you have another reason to condemn their actions?

So you're saying the validity of a blockade changes depending on the gravity of contraband?
So nukes are okay, but you think if the rockets are primitive, or if it were only a shipment of AK-47s, or just a containership of cocaine, you don't think those items of contraband should be justifiable of a blockade. Or maybe you're just seeing a difference because it's inconvenient in your villification of Israel? Quote:

| Yes look what happens with protests in countries like Canada. When 420 protests happen in Vancouver do cops go arrest people because pot is illegal? No because they no better. Just because you are legally right could still mean you are wrong depending on what you do.
Also any country based on religion = fail.

Don't dehumanize her because her politics and yours don't mix. This was a person with a family who died because someone else didn't view her as a person too.
No matter what side she supports or who she was protesting against this person's death served no purpose and obviously left a hole in the lives of the people close to her.
Do you treat people who cut you off in traffic and take too long ahead of you in line at McDonalds the same way too?
"The world would be better without idiots like the one ahead of me asking for extra sauce on their McChicken. Fuck McChicken anyway. The Fillet of Fish is the superior sandwich"
Ridiculous analogy but its the same logic you're demonstrating.
