25. OMG! A helipcopter?

They didn't just swim out to the ship? How dare those Israelis use 20th century technology. Of course they dropped from the helicopter -- did the ship have a helipad?

Did you not see the video -- I'm not sure what this who "cover of darkness" thing is about -- every man and woman on the ship knew the IDF had arrived, knew they were coming aboard, and consciously decided to try and kill them -- with steel pipes and butcher knives and even firearms taken from the soldiers.

I am certainly not over-joyed by anyone's death, regardless of their faith (except for Methodists -- they know what they did). However, if you try to bash in the skull of or stab an armed soldier engaged in his duties -- it's not the soldier that kills you, it's Darwin.
