@Mrpastry909 israel is at war with hamas and extremeists... so that makes it ok to kill unarmed turkish and american activists in international waters? that makes it ok to kill over 300 children in gaza during operation cast lead? that makes it ok for israel to attack an american ship in international waters and kill over 30 american soldiers like in the uss liberty incident? oh, israel is a paranoid state so they have the right to kill any innocent ppl without repercussion right?

It was only activists who were killed in that raid.
Godvernment, it is not hypocritical for Israel (who has a large arsenal) to deprive Hamas of weapons. The Allies blockaded the Axis during WWII. The Allies had weapons and tried to stop the Axis from getting weapons. Were we hypocrites then? Israel is at WAR with Hamas and its extremists, not the Palestinian people. You do what you must to prevent your enemies from getting weapons.

@Mrpastry909 no, it didn't. you're either dishonest or misinformed. either way, you are wrong. For if it did you could be sure it wouldn't have been only activists who were killed. israeli's have firebombs, clubs, knives, and batons. hypocritical much?

That flotilla also held firebombs, clubs, knives, and batons. Should a kid bring a gun to school if he's being bullied?

@Mrpastry909 the same reason why mothers dont give their kids lunch $ to the school bully. it is counterintuiitive. it would never get to them. that is the whole point of the flotilla in the 1st place. israel is cutting off their food/water supply. and they are supposed to go through them to help the ppl of gaza??? hahahahaha yeaaaaaaa ok!
