The "protesters" on the Mavi Marmara were criminals who were treated better than criminals are treated in Turkey. The criminals on the Mavi Marmara attacked unarmed Israel naval personnel engaged in a legal stop of a vehicle violating a legal blockade. You can sugar coat it any way you wish, but Turkey is the party in the wrong. It is Turkey which owes Israel and the world an apology for supporting terrorists and terrorism.

>>>>>>>>> Many Israelis and most people of the civilized world do not agree with you.

I respect your right to have an "Opinion" on this but more I look into it, I see how Israel got itself into more trouble trying to show off it's military power.

The article was not written by me rather by an Israeli. I am sure Israeli opinions have some values when we discuss Israel in this forum.

There is a world of difference between non-violent protests and "Terrorism". Calling unarmed civlil disobedince terroism is not correct.

It was a symbolic protest of a blockade by Israel. Heavy handed "Ususal" Israeli "couter" activities backfired Israel big time....

Shalom!

Bdboy, anyone can have an opinion and anyone can decide, for themselves, what should have or should not have been done.  But, aside from opinion, you can't change the facts.  The ship tried to run a naval blockade.  Legally, it could have been sunk.

I do not understand why you and people like the new Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt, Mr. Morsi, and the Turkish PM Erdogan, are so quick to excuse criminality and terrorism. Perhaps you could explain it.

Pot calling kettle, I remember you as well as others from a Pro-Israeli perspective citing that the King David bombing was not terrorism, because the Jewish terrorists phoned before hand.

I doubt everyone on board was carrying arms. This is more than likely Pro-Israeli propaganda, as well as the Israeli banner that Israel never shoots innocents and it has been catalogued that Israel has a bad record of shooting unarmed civilians, journalists and aid workers.

KSai, please point out the post where anyone stated that 'everyone' aboard the MM was armed.  Thanks.

>>>>> IDF solders had guns and shooting in the middle of an ocean (International water). Passengers did not have guns. Some bad sticks which could have "destroyed" Israel.

Wish Iranian president just gave up on nukes and started research on "Bamboo sticks". Had he knows the little stick could drown Israel in the sea!!

Those dumb Iranians....
