just now on twitter:
OSauvage: RT @activistgirl: RT @Umm_Issa @AngryFromMCR @Omar_Gaza BREAKING: A Turkish MP is among the dead #freedomflotilla #flotilla #gazathis might turn really ugly very soon. there were a few european MPs on those ships too but israel is holding back all details.

- No it won't. Strong international reaction has been pure routine for Israeli diplomats for years.Lillebo
- Ugly? Yeah, right. There have been countless opportunities for it to get 'ugly' for Israel, but there is zilch political will to prosecute any measure of ugliness anywhere else in the world.Continuity
- ... any measure of ugliness from anywhere else in the world.Continuity

The only _real_ short-term geopolitical impacts I see coming from this are:
- Turkey saying 'Screw you guys, I'm going home'
- Iran jumping up and down, trying to say, 'I told you so'
- the US and UK dishing out the usual meaningless platitudes (something about 'measured discussion' in the same sentence with 'right to defend itself')
- the EU rolling its eyesAnother week, and it's back to the status quo.

the age of question,
which came first, the chicken (IDF landing on the boat) or the egg (a beating with poles)?

"Irish aid boat holds course towards Gaza despite Israel warning.
(...)The Irish taoiseach, Brian Cowen, warned Israel tonight that he expected no violence against those on the Rachel Corrie."
"If any harm comes to any of our citizens it will have the most serious consequences"

Does that photo look like it was taken at 4:49am? If the time is wrong, the date may well be wrong too, so I wouldn't call it conclusive evidence in either side's support...

Remember, the Irish supported Hitler but i wouldn't expect any of you brainwashed inept's to know that.
Keep falling for the propaganda. It shows your intelligence level.
HERE IS THE VIDEO THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE IGNORED TO WATCH BECAUSE YOUR BRAINWASHED FOOLS.
Is the BBC not good enough for you?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world…I am calling all you communists, socialists and fascist terrorist supporters out.
- Can't watch the BBC video because it doesn't fit your hate israel agenda? Cowards. You people should be ashamed.FredMcWoozy
- Tell me, Freddy. Do you read up on news from the other side of the ideological fence at all, son?Continuity

- Sadly Freddy it is you who is brainwashed. This is the footage the army created and released to try and justify their murders. They have stifled all other accounts. Your intelligence level is on par with most blind Israel supprters.madmanGerald

21 year old girl visiting Israel shot in the face by the police while at a protest, loses her left eye.
- thats horrible but she got hit with a tear cannister not a bullet. Pretty misleading ukit. She was also an activist, not a tourist.FredMcWoozy

the spin meister in full effect,
if someone is trying to board you in international waters and you don't want to let him board,
it's your right,
if someone is trying to board your boat without authorization and you defend yourself with a knife, stick, whatever you want,
it is your right, there's no law agaisn't carrying a gun, knife, etc to defend yourself in international water.
if someone start shooting at you before boarding the boat, that is murder,
here's a video that shows that people were already shot dead before the boarding even started.
piracy is a crime no matter who does it.
-
It seems as if:1. Israelis fired on the ship before boarding, thus disproving the Israeli story of self-defense. (first shots heard at 24 seconds, but when the video starts, two people have been shot, and tear gas and stun grenades have been fired. Reporter claims this attack is coming "from all sides.")
2. No weapons are easily visible on the side of the demonstrators, unless there is a pistol in the left hand of the man at 2:43. (opinions? cell phone? walkie-talkie?)
3. White flag confirmed at 3:30. This seems to contradict early accounts that the vessel was flying a white flag when attacked.
4. Shooting continues at least until minute 7.
-- this doesn't prove anything. you can't actually see the start of the attack.Amicus
