Defending yourself against illegal actions by a foreign state is "trying to kill them"?

The raid itself was illegal.

Crewmen defending their own lives against the IDF wasn't.

Putting the commandos in that position? Oh for fucks sake.

Apparently you don't understand that running a legal blockade and then attacking the people sent to detain you for acting as a criminal is called putting yourself in that situation. :palm:

Unless someone FORCED them to run the blockade and attack the commandos.

When you use a gun, as some of them did, yes.

The raid has been confirmed legal.

And so had the crewmen been acting legal themselves, they would never had been in a situation where they needed to "defend themselves"

here are the facts


1. The Ship was in International Water
2. The IDF Went into INTERNATIONAL Water to Attack the Ship
3. The IDF Attacked the ship first.
4. Since the IDF Attacked first the Ship had rights to defend itself.
5. The Fact is. The Ship had not run the Blockade YET so for all we know they could have been going to Egypt and had gotten Lost.

That doesn't explain how they put those commandos in the situation. Unless someone FORCED those commandos to abuse the passengers after the situation was under control.

5. And yet it's true. They hadn't entered Israeli waters yet and thus the Israeli government shouldn't have even touched the flotillas. All your arguing is doing is legitimising the horrific actions of a state run by genocidal fruitcakes.

They are claiming the right to put ships in Israeli waters and a right to run a perfectly legal blockade of a terrorist outpost.

Does waters "off Israel" necessarily correlate with Israeli waters?


There is no guarantee they will stay in international waters, especially the way they are talking. Then again there is no certainty, at this point, that they will enter Israeli national waters either.

As I remember, Israel formally annexed Gaza and the West Bank back in the day, though that annexation was never recognized internationally. Turkey could use that to claim the waters off Gaza are not Israeli territory and put their ships there. That could lead to a naval confrontation.
Both Turkey and Israel have a lot of experience with land battles and bombing the homes of civilians. But they have little to no experience in naval combat operations. We can talk about who has what but until it happens we don't know how such a battle between two inexperienced navies will turn out.

The Turks seem to be craving a revival of their old Empire, when they were known as the Ottomans. Hence their threats against Israel and Syria, not to mention their continued violations of Iraqi soveriegnty, though the US government officially condones the latter.

Lest I forget to include there is also a great deal of Turkish interference in the Causcasus Republics, particularly against Armenia and Azerbaijan.

There is nothing in International law that says you must wait for a ship to enter your waters before you can board and search it.

They were planning to run the blockade. The Israelis told them to stop they kept going at full speed, heading in the direction of the Gaza coast. The fact the ship and its passengers widely publicized their intent to run the blockade at all costs, was enough justification for the raid that took place.

Yeah. You see, that isn't an argument. That's you being silly and trying to provoke a reaction out of someone. Which is hilarious, since that's exactly what Israel fucking does, and then bawwws when it inevitably gets attacked because of it~

Stop feeling sorry for terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.

"A United Nations review has found that Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza is legal and appropriate but that the way its forces boarded a Turkish-based flotilla trying to break that blockade 15 months ago, killing nine passengers, was excessive and unreasonable."
