The above sounds ok and no one can point any fingers on that. BUT Israel did this in international waters. There blocade are not acceptet by the UN and therefore it is against international law concerning international waters.

If you are ok with it, you have to be ok with the somali pirates, you have to be ok about any ship being boarded anywhere....

If you think its ok and they were just terrorists, you then have to accept that that you have no rights in international waters, NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW!

You cant say that its ok what Israel did and then stil demand to be protectet by the law.

All they had to do was to wait so they could intercept in national waters...

If you think its ok and the activists did something wrong by attacking the commandos you have shot down any right to deffend your self...

They were wrong attacking the soldiers, but they had the right to do it BECAUSE THE SHIP WAS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS!!

Was the convoy a stupid thing? YES
Was the attack on the soldiers a stupid thing? YES

Was the convoy an article 33 convoy? YES
Was the convoy in international waters? YES

Do ANYONE on this planet have the right to deffend there ship in international waters? YES

Is an i-legal boarding in international waters considered piracy? YES

You cant disagree with the Israelis on what they did, they just did it the wrong place...

BTW.
Some talks about it was a leagal action, could those then tell me why the UN are launching an investigation concerning the E-LEAGAL actions by Israel in international waters?? turn on the TV and watch the news...
