Then there's been an awful lot of piracy going on over the years, least of all by Israel. The rescue of Maersk Alabama's Captain last year would ostensibly also fall under the same umbrella, commited as it was in international waters.Boarding a foreign flag ship in international waters is piracy...
It would obstensilby not fall under the same umbrella to anyone with a modicum of common sense or logic.Then there's been an awful lot of piracy going on over the years, least of all by Israel.

Ostensibly so, but Per's statement was deprived of both and was rather absolute. I also rather doubt that, much like yourself, Per felt any differently about Israel prior to this particular clusterfuck, but I digress...It would obstensilby not fall under the same umbrella to anyone with a modicum of common sense or logic.Then there's been an awful lot of piracy going on over the years, least of all by Israel.

I felt less contempt, repulsion and despair, since you ask.

Bullshit.Then there's been an awful lot of piracy going on over the years, least of all by Israel.

Don't worry, the Israelis has learnt from history, they worrying part is what they have learnt.I wonder if anyone in the Israeli government has ever heard of the story of the Exodus, a ship that tried to break a blockade and in doing so destroyed the credibility of a occupying force in the Palestine?
I doubt it, they aren't that educated.
Yes, well, haven't we all...Don't worry, the Israelis has learnt from history....
I wish.Yes, well, haven't we all...Don't worry, the Israelis has learnt from history....
I wonder what Secretary of State Pantsuit Clinton will have to say about this.
I agree.I don't care what and who was onboard those ships. I don't care why they were there and what their intentions were. Boarding a foreign flag ship in international waters is piracy and in this case state terrorism.
With a bit of luck you could launch a missile with one of those. Better not take any chances, though I'm surprised they left the wheelchairs. After all it's a perfect mobile launching platform.Update : The electric wheelchairs have been delivered, without the batteries, the Israelis removed them.
