Should they? Both sides repeatedly do very stupid and often very nasty stuff. when all sides are at fault there is no clarity on the fronts as each issue has its own merits and should be dealt with as such. Failure to do so slips into that interchangeable Israel/arabs good/bad nonsense.

You have a democracy in the midst of totalitarian regimes

Yes, but how democratic is the state when it repeatedly breaks its own laws and ignores its own supreme court. Actually in this instance as members of the Israeli cabinet were complaining that the military had acted without the needed government approval it does weaken the democracy line doesn't it.

Ignorance is bliss again.
The san remo issue has already been dealt with in the same way as your earlier attempts at irrelevant and outdated maritime laws
If in doubt about trying to apply that "relevant law" just look for the statement the group TLAM linked to made, they use the words illegal and unjustifiable to describe this Israeli action.
