Intent to Kill

Laid out in considerable detail, this post explores what happened to the deceased Gaza activists.  This is an excellent example of a basic premise: if you want captives, send police; if you want corpses, send soldiers.  Their training is different, and you get what you pay for.

I do not consider Israel a civilized nation.  (I wish it would have been, but sheesh and baksheesh, Germany  is accruing beans faster on the civilized side of the scale.)  I sincerely wish that America would stop sending money there.  It is funding atrocities.  This costs America a lot of civilized beans.

You give me hope for humanity, whoever you are. Pretty much the only reason I'm even bothering to comment on this thread is to thank you. God bless you and God bless Israel.

As for the Gazans, think about this. There were 6 ships. People were only killed on one of the ships. Those on the other five ships stated that they stuck to "passive resistance" techniques. Nobody was killed on those ships. On the sixth ship, this happened:

Are these the people you call hapless victims of Israeli brutality?

This whole blockade started because Gaza fired thousands of rockets into Israeli territory onto Israeli civilians. The flotilla was a PR tool to hit Israel with and an attempt to break the blockade. It worked on the first part; whether it worked on the second has yet to be seen. I hope for Israel's sake that it does not.
