This is clearly an act of piracy !

When is someone going to do something about this terrorist state ?

Dreadful.

This is an act of war - and I have a feeling that this may be the trigger that leads to the MIDDLE EAST scenario that I have been warning about ( see my 2012 thread and the "Five Years Theory" which is unique to this forum I might add - and which so far is coming true )

We can only wait and see......

Up to 19 now - may include TV crews and journalists who were also on the boats.....

Israel claims they were attacked - well they would say that wouldn't they (LOL)?

I'm not predisposed to believing what International terrorists, and pirates say when they are taking part in an act of violent aggression in international waters against a peace convey trying to help innocents.

Amongst the goods on the ships were wheelchairs and commodes !

This doesn't look good for Israel's Eurovision hopes in 2011.

Haven't I always said that every time it looks as thought peace could be achieved the Israelis do something to halt it ????

From Daily Mail -

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Ottawa and officials said he was considering whether to cancel a White House meeting on Tuesday with U.S. President Barack Obama and fly home early.

Those talks had been expected to focus on U.S. efforts to advance tentative negotiations with Abbas. But peace talks, mediated by Obama's envoy, seem unlikely to continue for now.

William Hague has been superb with what he has said. At last a decent Foreign Secretary again - the MILLIPEDE was useless.

HAGUE has told ISRAEL to sort it out and to allow access to GAZA. He also has deplored the loss of life and questioned the use of such force in international waters.

Good to see our new Government standing up for Peaceful aid convoys.

I agree that Israel probably did this on purpose to scupper any PEACE plans and raise the temperature again. Shoddy.
