Israel Attacks Gaza Aid Ships?
I don't know if you guys have heard about this, but it appears that Israel has attacked Gaza Aid Ships, in International waters. Israel's Naval Commandos stormed into a Turkish ship and killed at least 10 pro-Palestinian activists. Further info has been copied from here.
According to Israeli officials, commandos opened fire in self-defense after descending by winch from helicopters and boarding the Mavi Marmara from dinghies about 75 miles offshore and coming under attack. "They were mobbed. They were clubbed, they were beaten, stabbed," Mr Netanyahu said in Ottawa, where he was meeting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "There was even a report of gunfire and our soldiers had to defend themselves, defend their lives or they would have been killed."
The organizers of the flotilla strongly denied that version of events, but first-hand accounts from passengers were difficult to come by, with activists taken straight to Israeli hospitals or screening by Israeli officials in preparation for summary deportation or trial.
"Those arrested by the Israelis have been given no access to attorneys and have been sent to several prisons," said Greta Berlin, co-founder of the Free Gaza Movement. "We don't know who has been killed or imprisoned or whereabouts they are. There has been no information given out at all and Israeli officials have confiscated all mobile phones ... Israel does not seem to follow anybody's rules."
At Askelon's Barzilai hospital, an injured American, sporting a black eye, was brought into the emergency ward on a stretcher, saying only: "There was some brutality". Asked who had started the violence he replied: "I am non violent." A Greek activist, wearing a neck brace, was asked how he sustained his injury; "pirates" was his perfunctory reply.
Also, people have been attacking Israel's embassies around the world, and I think that they burned down the one in Turkey.
So, what do you guys think about this? Did those guys in Israel have the right to do this, or they just did not want help to arrive in Gaza?

In all seriousness, Israel seems to be like that kid who gets abused at home, but then proceeds to go to school and bully other kids.

The era of piracy has returned.
