ARRGH!!! Israel vs Flotilla

I'm so unbelievably frustrated right now. Words can hardly describe the level of anger I have for the majority of the reporting world. Normally, I like to provide links as much as possible, but I'm so frustrated I need to just rattle this all off, and I will try to dig through and find all the links at a later time.

Now.. onto substance.

Every single Reporter, Politician, Activist, Blogger, and Douche-bag with a microphone or keyboard that has criticized Israel over the past two days for the events on the Flotilla just outside of Gaza's waters needs to be summarily taken out back and beaten for their willful and anti-semitic babbling arrogance. Seriously. No Joke. It's obscene.

Things said/written and my responses to them:

Turkety, et al: This was an act of Piracy.

No. It wasn't. You can board a ship in international waters if it intends to break a Blockade. Period. Shut up. Go Away. Everyone knows this.

Lots of People: The violence was unprovoked.

Bullshit. Go watch the videos that are plastered all over Youtube. 5 of the 6 ships were peaceful and no one on them died or got hurt in the slightest (IDF commando or Activist). One ship mobbed every single commando as they repelled down from the helicopter, beating them with bats, crowbars, pipes, and chairs. It was only after over half and hour of sustained violent resistance that when an Israeli commando was near death that the military personelle radioed for permission to use their handguns.

Many D-bags who write blogs: No seriously, boarding a ship in international Waters is the aggressive act.

No Seriously, It isn't you freaking morons. Attempting to break a Naval Blockade is an ACT OF WAR. Part of the international law involving Blockades mentions the neutrality of the parties NOT directly associated with the blockade. Basically, Israel can blockade Gaza as long as it isn't also Blockading a neutral country. Similarly, the Blockade MUST be fully enforced so that neutral countries don't find themselves accidentally violating a blockade, and thus taking a side and being at war. This implies that by actively attempting to break a Blockade, you are choosing a side in a conflict and can be seen prima facie as an ACT OF WAR.

A lot of Reporters and Bloggers (most of them): The two version of events cannot be verified (referencing the counter claim by activists that the IDF shot first.

Bull SHIT. Watch the videos. The evidence is there. Some of the activists claim that Israel shot first from the Helicopter on the ship with the violence. Wait What!? So 5 of the 6 ships Israel peacefully controls, and for the last ship they just decide to go cowboys and start shooting? That sure makes a lot of sense. If fact, the only types of guns that the commandos were armed with were handguns and Paintball guns. You are claiming that they came down from the helicopters with pistol blazing? Really? And it's clear they weren't shooting as they came down from the helicopters; the video PROOVES this.

One Activist Claims that there were no Crowbars or Pipes being use. That the 'Civilians' that were fighting the IDF were simply defending themselves with only wooden sticks!

BULL SHIT. There is another video out there shot by news crews ON THE SHIP that clearly show people hitting Commandos as they come down with both metal pipes and crowbars! Unless of course they were wooden pipes and crowbars painted to look like metal.That any media (Blogger, CNN, BBC, or otherwise) would parrot this lie only proves their obscene bias. The statement is VERIFIED untrue. As in, this activist is clearly lying or simply was kept in the dark. Either way, it shows clearly that the activists claiming that Israel was the aggressor have NO CREDIBILITY

Oh, and by the goddamn way. There is also video from those ships of members singing songs asking to kill jews and become martyrs that are also available to any moron who spends a few minutes on the internet. Seriously. How can anyone actually believe this was some peaceful aid mission. Israel explicitly said to come to Ashdod and they will help deliver the goods personally. But NO, these 'Peaceful' Activists had to try to break the Blockade (and Act of War) and physically assault the Israelis for trying to stop them.

And now the entire world condemns Israel for kill 9 people who willfully participated in Violence. WOO FUCKING HOO. You don't condemn Turkey for the Armenian Genocide. You don't bitch at them for the Cyprus occupation either. You can't condemn acts of terrorism in Baghdad. You don't condemn human rights violations in China, NPT violations by Iran, Drug Cartel murders in Mexico, the Violence in Thailand, bombing in Pakistan and India, churches and synagogues being destroyed in Egypt, arms smuggling in Lebanon (against UN resolution 1702 might I add), the entire China-Tibet debacle, and a whole host of other FAR WORSE proportionally issues going on in the world. Don't even get me started on the lack of any real diplomatic effort to deal with Darfur. The simple fact is that the entirety of the world that chooses to spend their time and energy condemning Israel for this act is likely doing so based on their rampantly anti-semitic beliefs rather than any real humanitarian concern.

Humanitarians help people. This ridiculous stunt did NOTHING to help Gaza.
