...the family and I was talking about what you cover in your second paragraph quite extensively with my girlfriend. Very...very unusual. I'd read just a few days ago how Israel had set up a sort of reception tent where they would be "processing" those taken from the flotilla. They'd be given a choice: A) Free plane ticket back to country of origin (paid for by Israel) after signing a statement never to try to enter Israel again or B) be put in jail.
This sort of thing has happened in the past and I did not, really in my wildest imagination, would not imagine it going on like this.
The fact (or apparent fact) that this action was taken against a NUMBER of boats in the flotilla is also very puzzling and disturbing. In other words, this is not some specific incident which happened on one boat or something like that. I have been hugely critical of Israel's governments and actions in the past but this one...this one came out of no-where for me. I really didn't expect it.
