    Well, remember – bad things happen in wars. Accidents happen, people make mistakes, etc.
    . .

    Which is why war should be avoided. However for the vast majority of its time in Gaza, the IDF was deployed there to suppress the population in order to protect Israeli settlers. Theres no justification for that kind of crap whatsoever.
    I will say that Israel does not target UN personnel or aid workers or ambulances. Israel does everything it can that these stay safe – if only for the reason that it is bad PR..

    Thats your opinion, and you may be right the odd time. However now and again a "cluster" occurs which would lead me to believe that they're 'sending a message'.
    As for the human shields thing – it was never a SOP..

    It was. Offically known as the "neighbour procedure".
    So they shot a white guy...

    Probably got bored waiting for hop-scotch to start at the girls school.

    Just discovered that the US politician aboard was Cynthia "Do you know who I am!?" McKinney. If it wasn't for the waste of good supplies and the doctors, they should have sunk the boat. According to her own statement, she went sailing into a war zone without knowing how to put on a life jacket, and as evidence of the US's warmongering policies makes reference to the diesels on the Israeli boats are American. Except they're actually German, but anyway.

    NTM

    You don't need a life-jacket when you can walk on water.

    you mean cyntia i hate jews because i never got anywhere in life mckinney

    the absurdness of this is people are taking a lot of facts from anti Israeli pr stuntmen/women without all the facts
    Ive seen so many reports of "they fired at us" to "we were given no warning"
    All ill say is when you look at the title of this thread you can see its bull yep thats right rtdh bull
    I half expected you to get at least one fact right in the thread title but no unfortunatly that didnt happen,
    Why some people ask?
    Because it wasnt a cypriot gaza boat
    it was a boat registered in gibralter
    so now the only fact about the original post has emerged lets wait and see what other pile of puke the pro terrorists on this thread come out with

    Not getting at you, but do you have sources to link to for that.

    Genuinely interested.

    well where would you like to start

    heres the first article from cnn
    it states ms mkinney saying it was rammed 3 times

    http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/dekalb/stories/2008/12/29/cynthia_mckinney_gaza.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab&imw=Y

    ok then for the yacght being registered in Gibralter theres a lot of info on that google it

    http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/12/30/gaza.aid.boat/index.html

    if you watch the video on that page also you will see a few conflicting reports
    the first is where the cnn jurnolist says he had to put his lifejacket on in "pitch black conditions" and dark panic
    then later he says the boat was lit up like up like a christmas tree and there was search lights on it all the time!

    she says it was rammed 3 times twice in the front and once in the side
    if you look at the yacght you will see nothing wrong with the front
    also the jurnolist doesnt mention 3 times he only says once.

    as for the help me the jews are against me heres one of many links about her failed seat in congress
    http://www.infowars.com/?p=6880

    I think this pr stunt from the free gaza movement has backfired on them because they never got there storys straight hans cristian anderson could barley come up with a tale like this.

    who delivers aid on a pleasure boat?
    why dont the storys of those on board tally?
    why are cnn saying collision when everyone onboard says rammed?

    more questions im sure will be ignored by palestinian hamas supporters

    Yes, Israel, being barbarically attacked for 8 years, by suiside bombers, misiles and whatnot has no right to defend itself... And if it does, it must be in the same way as it is being attacked. Right, pure evil. It's like after 9/11 you would claim that the US should attack someone (who?) with plains. Hamas is a terrorist organisation that took over by means of a military revolution over Gaza strip. You may say they were democraticly elected, mind you, so was Hitler. The equation of how many casualties each side has is demagogic. For 8 years Hamas was firing misiles over civilian population in the south of Israel for no reason - a war of crime of course, and Israel restrained itself.

    Yes, they are exactly like the nazis, they just want to kill arabs for being arabs. Right... or do they just want to live? to survive on their legal borders?

    It's either you're being naive, or vicious, but you fail to see that it's not a war of Israel against the poor people of Gaza, but a war of the free world against the radical Islam terror. First it's Gaza then it's gonna be Europe. If Israel shall lose this war, the consequences will be devastating!

    There are good people living in Gaza. I trust the Israelies that they are doing their best to avoid hurting the uninvolved, but it's harder when terrorists are surrounding themselves as a strategy by children and women.

    It's got nothing to do with occupation. Do they "illegally" hold Gaza? mind you, Israelies have been engaged in peace talks for years since 1993 or so, while palestinians (not all, just hamas and jihad radical islamists) have been bombing inside Israeli cities for 8 years. How about that? the peace talks continue until these very days, but as long as Gaza is led by this terrorist authority, there's no hope for the poor people of Gaza.

    looks like the IDF have just kicked an own goal of their own

    I noticed the pro palestine crowd stopped replying after Irish Rail pointed out the flaws in their accusation
