Clip of Flotilla Refusing IDF Warnings – IDF – 31May10
The IDF had paintball guns not live ammo – intending to “mark” the people on board and they were attacked with guns, knives and iron bars. The marines came down ropes and the “peace” activists tied the rope to the ship to bring the helicopter down. The soldiers were from Shayetet 13 the top of the top – equivalent to the Navy Seals “We tried hard not to harm anyone but were met with violence we had to respond.”
Remember this as the activists whine and call themselves victims.

And as we all could have predicted, islam’s useful idiots in the western nations are crying for these idiots.
Since the liberals/progressive believe there exists a state of conflict between Israelis and the Arabs cast out from Jordan, then it should have been expected that any shipment from belligerent groups would be necessarily subject to inspection. The belligerent activists should have complied in the inspection, and they could have prevented their own deaths and injuries to both parties.
These “peace” activists are more contentious than peaceful. They should have expected exactly what happened following their provocative intrusion. If they did indeed act to impede the inspection force, then they determined the path and events which ensued.

Not very peaceful. Maybe the activists should have entered through Egypt. The Egyptians are much less restricted in dealing with belligerents. Their resistance to full disclosure would have been dealt with appropriately, and prevented needless injury to Israeli soldiers.

The issue will now be, if they acted too soon, This would only be a minor issue if the activists had attempted to enter through Egypt; but, since it is Israel, the incident will be condemned for any discrepancy. However, according to much of the world, there exists a special state of conflict, and that may expand Israel’s rights under that consensus. Then again, according to all historical accounts, the disapproval will be waged unidirectionally. The world observes a selective history, and by so doing, condemns two peoples to perpetual conflict.
