I don't think it's a stretch to say that Israel would like nothing more than to "cleanse" the region of Palestinians. Of course, their method is less efficient than the Rwandan Hutus (800,000 Tutsis slaughtered in 3 months), but with their level of perseverence and dedication, they'll get there in 10 years or less.

And with the support of Western countries all the way.

The media will spin it as "justifiable homicide", but anyone who's ever found themselves at the wrong end of the stick of oppression will know the truth. Not that the truth has done us any good so far.

I'd like any one of you IDF sympathizers to come over to MY HOUSE, sit on MY COUCH, confine me to a corner of MY ROOM, instruct me not to eat MY FOOD or use MY TOILET until you say I can because one of your goddamned ancestors occupied that very same house 2000 years before we were born.

Let's see how that plays out, shall we? How long, do you think, before we kill each other?

Or, is this all just a race to see who annihilates the other first? What kind of person wants to "win" this contest, anyway??"

Israel Attacks Aid Ship, Kills At Least Ten Civilains
"It hardly seemed possible for Israel -- after its brutal devastation of Gaza and its ongoing blockade -- to engage in more heinous and repugnant crimes. But by attacking a flotilla in international waters carrying humanitarian aid, and slaughtering at least 10 people, Israel has managed to do exactly that. If Israel's goal were to provoke as much disgust and contempt for it as possible, it's hard to imagine how it could be doing a better job."

Israeli Commandos Kill 10 During Raid on Aid Float
"I think they were trying to defend themselves with whatever they could grab. "Armed" is the wrong word to use for someone with a chair in their hands. "Arms" are items designed specifically for battle (unless you're talking about a human appendage). Any other use of the word is propaganda.

If the Israeli government was trying to avoid violence then why didn't they first send unarmed negotiators to inspect the contents of the ship before sending in heavily armed commandos? It doesn't add up. This seems more they were putting the world on notice. No aid ships to Gaza or we will kill you."
