Gaza Flotilla Raid: Israeli State Piracy?

Strong condemnation is growing around the world after the Israeli military attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. Meanwhile Israel claims IDF troops stormed the ship which had weapons on board. Wisam Ahmad, a spokesman for the Al-Haq human rights organisation says Israeli forces will do anything to distract international attention from the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

If you really were a COMPETENT historian, you'd have known & added:

1.in 1967, Egypt placing SAM's in Sinai violated the previous EGY/ISR cease-fire (was "armistice" not "treaty" & this fact is important), WHICH RE-INITIATED THE PRIOR STATE OF WAR: thusly EGY not ISR made the 1st legal act of war;

2.EGY blockading Tiran was declared illegal by UN;

3.another EGY act of war (& a crime), before ISR COUNTER-attacked EGY, was sending fedayeen (state-sponsored bombers) to kill Israelis.

part 2 of 2: @abtarabishy

...only then did ISR counter-attack EGY. Then Jordan invaded ISR and ISR therefore DEFENSIVELY took land from EGY&JOR.

The above facts make ISR's 1967 victory a defensive one (and thus make it legal to take land to penalize the EGY/JOR aggressors), because both EGY & JOR were the first to act as "belligerants," i.e. EGY & JOR both (legally) re-initiated the former state of war (before ISR did any such thing to either of them).
