Nine people were killed and 7 Israeli wounded on a ship which was illegally trying to take supplies to the Hamas terrorist leaders of Gaza. As usual the apologists for the terrorists are blaming Israel, condemning them as murderers. Yet the ships of the terrorist supporters were warned that Israel would not allow them to dock in Gaza but would allow then to unload the supplies an Israel and after the cargo was inspected, it would be delivered to Gaza.
This propaganda stunt was planned to provoke Israel. On the way to Israel the terrorists sang anti Jewish songs saying they would soon occupy Haifa. Huwaida Arraf, one of the leaders of the terrorist supporters said that they were intent on landing illegally in Gaza, that they would not stop or allow Israel to divert the ships. "They are going to have to forcefully stop us." They got their wish and propaganda incident and because of their stupidity and extremism, 9 people are dead.
Israel announced weeks ago supplies to Gaza must be inspected before being delivered and that Israel would stop any illegal attempt to deliver supplies to the Hamas terrorists. The terrorist supporters knew they would be stopped, yet they willfully provoked Israel. They were stopped and refused to go to a port to be inspected. Now the terrorist supporters in the media are blaming Israel. Blame for the deaths is squarely on Hamas terrorists and their supporters.

No country would allow uninspected supplies to go to a terrorist group.

I think it is totally wrong, and misleading, to talk of supplies to the Hamas terrorist leaders...the supplies were aimed at the beseiged people of Gaza, they are not being treated fairly, nor humanely by Israel. The convoy was legal, Israel's blockade and seige are not, the accusation of high seas piracy and murder is a justified and proper response to this over-reaction on Israel's part.
The people of Gaza are being "allowed" "humanitarian aid supplies" through the crossings....when and IF it suits Israel, and nowhere near enough to meet the needs of the Gaza population.
To date, I haven't had anyone explain Israel's reluctance to allow foreign jounalists or camera crews into Gaza to confirm for themselves...and the rest of the world that there is, as Israel claims, no crisis in Gaza. Instead we offered - in your words - propaganda from the Israeli government telling us how well they are doing there, and yes...I've seen the videos posted on some stories to show us the resturants, swimming pools, and thriving populace of Gaza...if they were taken in the last few days, it REALLY makes you wonder why young men die struggling through tunnels for the sake of some cooking gas or provisions when they are so well looked after by Israel.
In line with Israel's policies of crushing resistance with phosphorous bombs and killings at a ratio of thousands to a single loss of their own, this attack on the flotilla is illegal, disproportionate and way beyond the line that civilised nations normally accept as a benchmark of decency.

What would China do if India sent a convoy to Tibet? What would Spain do if Andorra sent "supplies to Basque separatists? If people attack you with irpn pipes and clubs it is not murder to kill them. Get real Israel could have easily killed hundreds if that was their intent.The reason why people suffer and die in Gaza i8s because Hamas terrorists still fire hundreds of rockets at Jewish civilians. Hamas in three years has killed more Palestinians than Israel did in 60 years.

I'm sorry, I don't see how comparing Israel's actions with those of China in any way condones or excuses Israel's actions, and I would be REALLY interested to see where you got those figures from.

My point is Hamas is terrorist, firing rockets at Jewish civilians, killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in their military coup against the legitimate government, allowing no dissent in Gaza. The ships were asked 3 ties to stop, were told they would not e allowed into Gaza. They were determined to provoke violence and they did. They are responsible, not Israel.

You are in the UK. What would Cameron do of Ireland sent a supply convoy to the IRA terrorists in North Ireland?

Back in the late '50s, early '60s, we lived not far from Belfast, I experienced a protest march in the square outside Lisburn Barracks, and witnessed the attack by the black and tans with batons on the women and children protesting against the treatment of catholics in the province. At the time we were protestants, my father switched religions frequently and we were dragged in his wake, my early baptism into the world of international politics and religious differences set my heart in stone against injustice.
The reasons for the divide in Northern Ireland were not that complex if you break the whole thing down, but it took many more years to get to any kind of a settlement, and it had already been going on for hundreds of years in reality.
The divide between the two sides is very much narrower now than it was in my youth, but the wounds are slow to heal, there is no call now in the province for shipments to the IRA from anyone, and that is because the British have and are still relinquishing their hold on the governance in Northern Ireland.
It took terrorist acts and international pressure, coupled with changing attitudes to bring about the changes. But at the end of the day, it was the British government that had to back down - change it's policies - give ground...whatever way you want to call it, to bring the peace to a troubled land and the people who craved it.
There is still a problem with "dissident groups" in Northern Ireland today, despite the peace process, these so called dissidents are not representing anyone or anything other than their own criminal money making schemes now, it just remains for the media to stop giving them credence by refering to them as anything other than criminals.
So that isn't a problem for our PM, I can assure you of one thing however, I, along with a huge amount of UK citizens, would not have sat back and let my government get away with what Israel is doing.
.........so how's your conscience holding up?

You don't feel in any way that they may have been determined to get the aid through to the victims? If someone tried to dissuade you from going to the assistance of a woman and child being attacked by a bully, and you went ahead and helped them, would you feel that you had "provoked the violence" when they beat you up for it?
I fail to see the difference between what you call the terrorists Hamas, and the terrorists called Israel, and I still don't see where you get figures of Hamas killing "thousands of Palestinians in Gaza" from.

@158.I guess it is a Zionist's lucky number.All your arguments are flimsy,have no substance and can not stand the scrutiny of logic.Neither Tibet is beseiged nor was Ireland.Every Irish was not a terrorists,every resident of Gaza is not a supporter of Hamas and every Israeli is not a Zionist.
