HAMAS and some of the hard-line fanatical Palestine terrorists routinely launch rockets - with high explosive warheads - into civilian areas of mainland Israel. Not just the so-called 'occupied territories'.
So bearing the depth and anger that Israel rightly percieves against anyone trying to assist these terrorists ... what the fuck did they expect?
I've seen the footage (Turkish footage I might add) on the BBC and I couldn't believe the incongruity between the reportage and the pictures.
If soldiers are sent in to a confined space and then attacked by steel rod bearing psychos wearing masks, taken and thrown bodily off the top deck, stabbed and possibly even shot at what do people exactly imagine is going to happen? Check out this video!
Those who attacked the Israelis were not just up for a bit of fisticuffs. Those soldiers lives were threatened and they reacted to protect themselves with what they had to hand. Nobody sent in Apaches or F16s. Those talking about a massacre are full of crap and don't know what the hell they're talking about.
A solider, hell anybody, will defend defend himself with what he has to hand. I'm just surprised there wasn't gunfire sooner.
They asked for it and got it !

Ah, my fellow well travelled friend, for both you and I have visited this wonderful country.
ReplyDeleteFor those that haven't read on.
The Israeli's are a wonderful people. EVERY DAY there very existence is under threat by all of there neighbouring country's AND terrorist organisations. Not only that, the religion that the country was founded for has been persecuted and ridiculed since before the Bible and the Koran.
The people of this country live their lives peacefully and with a happy, and pleasant outlook on live itself. However, they will fight and die to protect the country they live in - and rightly so. They will use any means at hand to protect their own. Israel has been attacked since its formation and recognition as a country. So these so called do-gooders, deliberately trying to break a known Naval blockade are seriously asking for trouble.
If they were peaceful why attack the boarding party? The Israeli soldiers, once provoked will shoot and thats what they did.
It was a cynical and provoking attempt to enter Gaza - illegally.
If the Israeli's want, I will go and stand next to them - they have got it right.
Hmmm ... well said my fellow Blue Star Supporting Friend.
ReplyDeleteI'll quite happily join you in ridding the world of these so called activists and terrorists and stand alongside you mate.
It annoys the crap out of me though, that about 30 of these so called "peace" activists were Brits ! (well, "immigrant" Brits mainly! shock of shocks)
In fact I'll probably do a seperate rant on that later ...!
