Reply #166: Israel has ships armed with nukes in the waters surrounding

Iran. According to you, Iran has a right to send helicopters to drop commandos onto those ships firing their weapons as they land.

The Captain was shot btw, no reason given by the Israelis yet. Video from the Israelis has been released. Their credibility is not great at this point, as there are reports that even before the ships left, Israeli agents were interfering and harrassing the peace makers. Many believe that the video will be or has been edited. So I wouldn't be too excited about 'waiting for the video' if I were you.

The bottom line is that this was a peace mission which the world was watching and supportive of, reporters had been on the ships so much is already known about who they were and what they were carrying with them. Very credible citizens of many countries, including a holocaust survivor were part of the peace mission. Israel killed peace makers, in International waters, including some whose countries are members of NATO. Stupidity is too good a word for this action, not to mention the incredible loss of life for not good reason.

The only recourse for Israel is to apologize, fire whoever is responsible for ordering this travesty and start pulling their troops out of the West Bank. Anything short of that will only escalate the anger and probably result in isolating the country, as countries like Turkey and Greece have already cancelled joint military exercises with them.
