Yes, PR wise they sorta fucked themselves. However, the idiots on the ships were warned repeatedly that this would happen. The Jews don't make threats, they kick ass.....libs have short historical memories. These activist morons should support the actual aid getting into the area instead of pissing off the IDF.

If they were interested in anything more than PR, they would have gone through the proper channels to get their aid in. Their little PR stunt was cute because they accomplished exactly what they set out to do. Of course Israel played right into Hamas's hands with this. Hamas burned down a UN organized summer camp for children last week because they claimed it taught immorality. Should we really care that they won't get their aid?  ::)

And who attacks someone holding a gun with a knife and then doesn't expect to get shot? Darwinism at work here.



Israel was only 90 short of the 100 unarmed, peace-advocating Ahmadis who were slaughtered by Muslims the other day. Ironic that there was no condemnation from the Muslim world about that massacre.  8)

What did you think was goig to happen?

Israel warns you not to come to the military zone border.  Israel asks you again not to come.  Israel repeatedly says they will board and escort you to a detention area if you continue. Israel says all humanitarian goods will go through the proper channels to get to Gaza.

The ships dont care. The ships dont answer. The ships continue to go.  The ships attack the solders that board. The soldiers attack back

If you dont realize that the people on the ships dont care about anything except getting some reaction, you are just plain dumb.

Go yell and scream about the 46 soldiers of the South Korean army that was hit by a sumbmarine missle.

Oh yeah, I guess protests dont matter than.

Same typical crap.

Any other country, it would be called defending themselves.

For Israel, it is something different.

Get your head out of your asses.

This is a big big big big fuck up (yet again I find myself saying this at the moment, its getting tiring)

Israel had a lot of options as to how to deal with this ship, and chose basically every wrong option that was available to it. The fact it was in international waters really isnt helping things right now.

In terms of PR strategy its hard to think of how the israelis could have done things any worse than they did with this incident. They knew this boat would not stop, and that it was full of people wanting to cause trouble, there were many other ways of dealing with the situation. The CGS of Naval Command needs to resign for this, as does defence minister Barak (ofcourse he wont, he loves power too much), the clean up operation in PR terms is as bad as this oil spill in the gulf of mexico...it may take considerable time to fix the diplomatic relationships that have been lost because of this.

the most jerking thing about it, is that bunch of dickheads better known as Hamas will be laughing themselves to sleep tonight, knowing 90% of the political universe now thinks they are the injured party....I feel like bashing my head against a wall.

Yes why board the ship in international waters? And these were Turkey nationals. Now they have alienated Turkey. From news reports they came down from helicopters on to the ship. Who knows if it is true that they attacked the Israelis with knives.

Israel is a shining example of how America ought to deal with threats to it's security.

No bullshit sanctions, no half assed threats, no pussyfooting around and going off half cocked because of what the pro Arab Muslim Nazi press thinks.

Pakistani Muslims slaughtered 100 unarmed, peace-advocating Ahmadis (91 more than this incident) in less than 2 hours last week while they were praying and there was nary a peep about it. Barely made the news. Of course the Muslims like Toxic derailed the thread about it into some anti-US shit. ;)

Th whole point of international waters is so tht nations can not claim ownership of waters near anothe nation and therefore deprive that nation of commerce. These ship which were from Turkey were bringing humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza because those fake jews have kept them from receiving goods from other nations as well as buying goods from other nations. In effect these gefilthe fishes are trying to starve the people of Gaza to death, while ZIONIST controlled america sits and does and says nothing....just like with the USS Liberty.

What's your point? Last week so-called tolerant Muslims stormed two houses of worship and slaughtered 100 unarmed, non-violent Ahmadis (you Muslims don't consider them to be Muslim) in cold blood in mere minutes. 100 unarmed innocents wiped off the face of the Earth. And this has been an everyday occurrence in the 1400 year Muslim jihad.  Yet you were too busy derailing the thread with youtube videos of your snake hero to actually acknowledge the event. Anyway, 9 < 100 last I checked.

One should ask why these people insisted on sailing boats through a blockade when they could have gone through the proper channels to get this aid in. They wanted to die and Israel was dumb enough to give them what they want.

And people have the gall to act like they're genuinely concerned about human rights. It's just too funny.

In terms of PR strategy its hard to think of how the israelis could have done things any worse than they did with this incident.

Yes, I agree here. They underestimated what they would find on that ship. Five ships agreed to be boarded. The sixth ship, which had 600 anti-Israeli hatred people on it, consisted of people who were there just to fight and hurt as many Israeli soldiers that they could. The Israeli commandos were very surprised, heading into a situation with just paintball bullets. Once they realized that they were being attacked with knives, sticks, guns, and being thrown overboard and hurt, it got serious, and they fought back. They wanted to wait until daylight so they could videotape it all. That is why is was done at night.

Quote
Definitely not peace activists.  

Hmm... just because the sole purpose of the mission was to break the blockade of a group who wants the destruction of Israel?  A simple, head to the port, let the items be inspected, and then let them enter into Gaza would of been easier. That wasnt the case. The goal was to provoke outcry with a provacation, an attack on the commandos, and then cry. Then play as much as they can to the media crying foul.

Quote
International waters , Israel fired first before boarding. and does Israel OWN these international waters?

With Egypts approval (huh - Egypt), and repeated warnings, in which the first 5 ships were stopped and agreed to be boarded, the sixth ship decided to provoke an outcry. In any other country, that ship would of been fired on and sunk. If you know that the SOLE mission is to violate your country, you have a right to stop it before it happens.

Quote
These ship which were from Turkey were bringing humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza

Really??? Then why didnt they just do it via the proper channels? So easy to do that. These ships were there for ONE thing - to break the blockade and give legitimacy to the terrorist organization of Hamas.

check out this video:

http://news.yahoo.com/video/world-15749633/20105104

Two things I have to ask questions about.  Israeli Prime Minister Nuttisayahoo says they're shipping 10's of thousands of rockets?  Really?  They had rockets on board? He clearly said they were shipping rockets... WTF...  And some old lady at the end of the video says that boats in international waters are not subject to boarding.  Israel said what they did was legal, this lady is saying it was illegal.  Has anybody found out which is true?  Common sense says it would not be legal but I'm still waiting for someone in the media to point out the truth here.  Haven't seen it yet....

What did you think was goig to happen?

Israel warns you not to come to the military zone border.  Israel asks you again not to come.  Israel repeatedly says they will board and escort you to a detention area if you continue. Israel says all humanitarian goods will go through the proper channels to get to Gaza.

The ships dont care. The ships dont answer. The ships continue to go.  The ships attack the solders that board. The soldiers attack back

If you dont realize that the people on the ships dont care about anything except getting some reaction, you are just plain dumb.

Go yell and scream about the 46 soldiers of the South Korean army that was hit by a sumbmarine missle.

Oh yeah, I guess protests dont matter than.

Same typical crap.

Any other country, it would be called defending themselves.

For Israel, it is something different.

Get your head out of your asses.


Not allowed to sail through an ILLEGAL blockade on INTERNATIONAL WATERS? Who the fuck does Israel think they are? Pull your head out of your ass.

Ron these people were in international waters, Israel is equivalent to pirates trying to take over a ship.  The people on the ship had every right to defend themselves from people trying to take over their ship.

There really isn't a difference between Sunni and Shia beyond which fucktard the two groups thought deserved to lead the Muslims after Moohammed's death. They both share the same religious beliefs but they differ politically. That argument really justifies centuries of fighting and millions of deaths. Yet we in the West expect Muslims to act peaceful towards us. They're not even capable of getting along with each other, let alone getting along with people they think are inferior trash. ::)

Interesting development someone brought up. The flotilla departed from northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus is currently occupied by Turkey, an occupation that has been deemed illegal by the EU and the UN.

Ironic that Turkey is the loudest on this condemnation of an illegal occupation when they're doing that very thing themselves. Never mind the fact that Turkey celebrates the 1915 genocide of 3 million Armenians as a holiday or that their govt. won't acknowledge that it was genocide. Nevermind the fact that Turkey is still planning to take shipment of their purchase of $200 million worth of Israeli drones later this summer.



If the government of Turkey feels so strongly about ending disputed occupations, why does it not start with the disputed occupation it is operating itself? Or do the world's permanent victims get a free pass on that again?

All I'm getting from Turkey is that they appear to be laying the groundwork for a resurgence of the Ottoman Empire.

Yes, PR wise they sorta fucked themselves. However, the idiots on the ships were warned repeatedly that this would happen. The Jews don't make threats, they kick ass.....libs have short historical memories. These activist morons should support the actual aid getting into the area instead of pissing off the IDF.
Well-said, HH6.  And let's be honest, this was no "peaceful" demonstrating group aboard this ship:

With Egypts approval (huh - Egypt), and repeated warnings, in which the first 5 ships were stopped and agreed to be boarded, the sixth ship decided to provoke an outcry. In any other country, that ship would of been fired on and sunk. If you know that the SOLE mission is to violate your country, you have a right to stop it before it happens.



warning someone off of international waters is like me warning you not to walk on the side walk (public property) and then attacking you....and then screaming terrorist if you tried to defend yourself...israel in this case got " too big for its boots"

The Sunni and Shia don't consider Ahmadi to be Muslims and have been persecuting them since their movement came about. Regardless, does it matter? The so-called freedom fighters from the Religion of Peace(TM) stormed two houses of prayer and their living area and massacred 100 unarmed people in cold blood. Watching you brush that off while crying about non-Muslim terrorism is amusing.

Pakistani Muslims are real tough guys murdering 100 people who denounce violence while they're praying. :-\

Our political system being hijacked and oil dependency make neutrality impossible. What we should do is send them all the finger and a note saying "Handle crap on your own dime. That way you won't have to worry about what anyone thinks.... And by the way, how about giving us some of that money back?!"

We should not be sending US taxpayer dollars overseas when there are so many people suffering here. I'd much rather see that money given to people to keep homes, afford college for kids, pay off credit cards or even given to crackheads than sent offshore.

I am aware of that.  They were even fired upon (the IDF) from what i understand (cnn news).  But from the point of view of the other side, they were attacked and boarded in international waters why wouldn't they have every right to defend and repel boarders?

Israel is using the fact the ship defended itself as justification for the killing.

The San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea–an international treaty in effect since June 12, 1994

SECTION V : NEUTRAL MERCHANT VESSELS AND CIVIL AIRCRAFT

Neutral merchant vessels

67. Merchant vessels flying the flag of neutral States may not be attacked unless they:

(a) are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture;

(b) engage in belligerent acts on behalf of the enemy;

(c) act as auxiliaries to the enemy s armed forces;

(d) are incorporated into or assist the enemy s intelligence system;

(e) sail under convoy of enemy warships or military aircraft; or

(f) otherwise make an effective contribution to the enemy’s military action, e.g., by carrying military materials, and it is not feasible for the attacking forces to first place passengers and crew in a place of safety.Unless circumstances do not permit, they are to be given a warning, so that they can re-route, off-load, or take other precautions.

That wasn't the point.  She was using the countries as an analogy and I was pointing out the bias.

Why should they have waited?  What does international maritime law state?  What is the supporting case law?  What are the relevant legal histories.  I don't have a clue.  I just keep seeing people like you throwing out "international waters" like your some legal expert.  For example, this passage that I found when snooping around on the subject seems to suggest there may be reasons a country can board on the high seas.

"(5) Universal jurisdiction. According to Henry Kissinger, "the doctrine of universal jurisdiction asserts that some crimes are so heinous that their perpetrators should not escape justice by invoking doctrines of sovereign immunity or the sacrosanct nature of national frontiers." Under the relevant treaties, any State can board a ship on the high seas if the ship is suspected of piracy, transporting slaves, or broadcasting illegally. A ship and its occupants can be arrested for piracy and illegal broadcasting by a warship of any State. For other crimes, the arresting State must get the consent or assistance of the flag state. Also, a ship that flies two flags (flags of convenience) or a ship flying no flag may be visited for further inquiry by any State's ships. Ships without flags, and those that fly flags of convenience are subject to the jurisdiction of any State. While some scholars disagree, national courts have upheld convictions based on such arrests. "


Keep in mind, this passage is not on point with what we are discussing, I'm simply illustrating that Israel, depending on what treaties it's engaged in, how the law is interpreted, etc., may very well have been within their rights.  Not being a legal expert, I simply don't know.  But people acting as though "international waters" means hands-off, are clearly just as clueless.

Ships without flags, and those that fly flags of convenience are subject to the jurisdiction of any State. While some scholars disagree, national courts have upheld convictions based on such arrests. "


Keep in mind, this passage is not on point with what we are discussing, I'm simply illustrating that Israel, depending on what treaties it's engaged in, how the law is interpreted, etc., may very well have been within their rights.  Not being a legal expert, I simply don't know.  But people acting as though "international waters" means hands-off, are clearly just as clueless.

I'm not trying to act like or assume myself as a "legal expert" in these matters, but it is common knowledge that any further than 12 miles off shore is typically considered international waters.   So for the IDF to board a ship in international waters seems wrong.  Now, someone else provided an unlinked reference to a law that states they were with in there rights.  So if they were they were. 

But that doesn't in my mind excuse the disaster that has occurred and Israel doesn't go in the direction of solving this problem, IMO.

There's no difference between unilaterally declaring or funding war to people on the receiving end of a bullet. They're still dead despite any flowing political language that might make us feel better, justified or OK with their passing. This is simply another example of how political necessity determines right and wrong.

If you're talking about whether a person is equally dead, I agree.  If the issue is whether a country has been repeatedly attacked and you're analyzing what steps the country can take to defend itself, then yes it matters.

Conform? Nice wording. In reality, it's pay the jizya and acknowledge that you're a 2nd class citizen to the Muslims, convert to Islam, or die.  ::)

Funny how Islam is the only religion whose entire purpose is to establish a caliphate that stretches the entire globe and subjugates everyone to Sharia.

Israel warns you not to come to the military zone border.  Israel asks you again not to come.  Israel repeatedly says they will board and escort you to a detention area if you continue. Israel says all humanitarian goods will go through the proper channels to get to Gaza.

The ships dont care. The ships dont answer. The ships continue to go.  The ships attack the solders that board. The soldiers attack back

If you dont realize that the people on the ships dont care about anything except getting some reaction, you are just plain dumb.

Go yell and scream about the 46 soldiers of the South Korean army that was hit by a sumbmarine missle.

Oh yeah, I guess protests dont matter than.

Same typical crap.

Any other country, it would be called defending themselves.

For Israel, it is something different.

That's why all these jerk-offs saying that they're interpreting the Koran wrong crack me up. It's infallible. It's not hard to understand. There are over 110 verses calling for violence against non-Muslims.  ::)

A post by Haaretz (israeli newspaper).

Turkish paper releases 'censored' photos of beaten Israeli commandos

Turkey's highest circulating paper, Hurriyet, reports that photos were deleted by Israel, but restored by Turkish activists.
By Haaretz Service Tags: Gaza flotilla Turkey Israel Turkey IDF

Turkey's highest circulating newspaper Hurriyet on Sunday released photos of Israeli navy commandos who had been embroiled in the clash aboard the Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship Mavi Marmara last week.

The Israel Defense Forces released a video depicting the activists aboard the ship attacking the navy commandos. The activists argued that they had been attacked first. Nine activists were killed in the melee, and dozens, including Israeli soldiers, were hurt.

The photos published by Hurriyet on Sunday, under the headline "tears of a commando", Israeli soldiers are seen beaten and bleeding, being carried below deck by Turkish activists.

In the accompanying article, the paper reported that the photos had been censored and deleted by Israeli fighters aiming to prevent embarrassment for Israel and the IDF, but the activists were able to restore them. The paper further reported that in some of the photos, activists belonging to the IHH organization are seen caring for the wounded soldiers.

IHH is the group that organized the flotilla that attempted to carry tons of aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip last week. The Mavi Marmara was one of eight ships that participated in the effort.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit issued a response to the Turkish photos, saying that the "published pictures serve as clear and unequivocal proof of Israel's repeated arguments that aboard [the Mavi Marmara] were mercenaries who intended to kill Israeli soldiers."

"The photos would have looked different if the soldiers had chosen to shoot every citizen that came their way," the statement continued. "It was only out of empowerment and a deep understanding of the event that the navy commandos were able to tell the difference between peace activists and terrorists."
 

Meanwhile, senior officials in the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Israel has no intention of apologizing for the Mavi Marmara raid. The remarks were made in the wake of Turkish threats to sever diplomatic ties with Israel if the latter failed to apologize for harm caused to Turkish citizens.
 

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/turkish-paper-releases-censored-photos-of-beaten-israeli-commandos-1.294443


Notice how it is mentioned Israel tried to delete and censor the pictures from cameras so they wouldn't hurt morale (instead of using them to show they were attacked), but when the pics were recovered and published they said that the pics show the soldiers were indeed attacked. There are some activists holding some sort of sticks and others manhandling the soldiers.
Not sure how the activists supposedly treated the soldiers' wounds, I doubt they would.
Haaretz has blurred out the soldiers' faces and published some pics, hurriyet has the full uncensored pictures.

IDF admits doctoring audio of raid on Gaza flotilla

The Israeli Defense Force has issued a "clarification" admitting it manipulated audio of its raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

On Friday, the IDF released audio of what it said was an exchange between Israel Navy officers and the crew of the Mavi Marmara, the main vessel in the flotilla. In it, voices could be heard telling the Israeli soldiers to "go back to Auschwitz" and "we're helping Arabs go against the US -- don't forget 9/11, guys."

But flotilla passengers quickly began disputing the veracity of the audio clip.

Investigative journalist Max Blumenthal reports that the head of the Free Gaza movement, Huwaida Arraf, could be heard on the videotape asserting the flotilla's right to enter Gaza territory. But Arraf says she wasn't on board the Mavi Marmara, and was actually on board another ship, the Challenger One. Another flotilla member whose voice can be heard on the audio, Ali Abunimah, also said he wasn't aboard the Mavi Marmara.

According to a news report from the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, Arraf suggests the audio of her that appeared in the clip came from an earlier exchange between her and Israeli forces, but she admits she "could not be sure" she didn't repeat her assertion during exchanges with the IDF during the raid.

On Saturday, the IDF's public blog issued a "correction" explaining that the tape had been edited "so as to make it easier for people to listen to the exchange."

The IDF stated:

    There have been questions regarding the authenticity of the recording as well as its attribution to a communication with the Mavi Marmara.

    So to clarify: the audio was edited down to cut out periods of silence over the radio as well as incomprehensible comments so as to make it easier for people to listen to the exchange. We have now uploaded the entire segment of 5 minutes and 58 seconds in which the exchange took place and the comments were made.

    This transmission had originally cited the Mavi Marmara ship as being the source of these remarks, however, due to an open channel, the specific ship or ships in the “Freedom Flotilla” responding to the Israeli Navy could not be identified.


The IDF's latest version of the audio is actually the third version the military organization has released. Its first audio version of the incident, a one-minute clip released the day of the raid, did not include any of the controversial comments -- no voices can be heard saying "Go back to Auschwitz" or "remember 9/11."

Critics of Israel have suggested the audio clip -- and the IDF's admission it was edited -- shows the Israeli military is involved in a propaganda campaign to discredit the flotilla as a humanitarian effort. And Blumenthal notes that the IDF audio has already made its way into US media as fact.

"Hours after the IDF’s admission, major news outlets which reported on the doctored audio clip as though it was a shocking revelation and not a scandalous forgery have still not corrected themselves," Blumenthal writes.

Some of Israel's other efforts to sway public opinion its way have resulted in embarrassment. Government spokesmen on Saturday apologized for distributing a video that mocked the flotilla members, nine of whom died when Israeli commandos raided the flotilla on Monday.

The video, a satire on "We are the World," shows a group of singers declaring, "There's no people dying/So the best that we can do/Is create the greatest bluff of all/We must go on pretending day by day that in Gaza/There's crisis hunger and plague."

Following a storm of protests from critics pointing out that the UN has declared that Gaza is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, the Israeli Government Press Office declared, "Due to a misunderstanding on our part, earlier (Friday) we inadvertently issued a video link that had been sent for our perusal. ... It was not intended for general release. The contents of the video in no way represent the official policy of either the Government Press Office or of the State of Israel."

Its amazing how people criticize Israel when you have two sides at war.  Let each other go at it and the winner take all.  Hamas and their terrorist vermin apologists need to man the hell up and deal with the consequences of their actions.  In war, people die and get fucked, thats life.  Hamas made its choice and Israel should be capping these people left and right.  Were I in charge, I would have gone Patton on those vermin a long time ago and ended it already.   

Let Hamas meet Israel on the battlefield and lets get it over with.   They wont because Israel would wipe out these people in a day or two at best.  Instead, Hamas wants to play victim and this bs cat and mouse game.

Hamas knows they can't win so they embed themselves among women and children and wage propaganda wars. Of course, the islamofascists and their legion of disinformation specialists on the far-left soak that shit right up. At the end of the day, no one gives a fuck about either side and if the pro-Muslim MSM didn't feel the need to report on every single event that occurs in this conflict, no one would even talk about it. A Palestinians ties his left sneaker first and they write up a 5,000 word story on it.  ::)

There were 31 armed conflicts in 2009. This is the only one that the pro-Muslim MSM never shuts up about.  ;)
