Yeah, they were chanting "we will kill all the jews" and" jihad" in a nice way.
Israel could also sunk them or blow them sky high. Why board them just to shoot them? doesnt make any sense.
Because I don't believe you like Jews\Israelis.
im sorry james but im with norse on this (except for the hanging), this matter should be investigated by international authorities (as should the gazan war and the blockaid itself) and if breaches of human rights law are detected then the perpitratiors should be draged to the hauge and tried.
Its the Zionist propaganda I was fed from young age. My father always told me, Arabs are only good for making Hummus.
Until it stopped they manged to film exactly what happened.

severasl things wrong with this. first off its an oxymoron it cannot be both "yours" and international waters it must be one or the other. secondly it wasn't Israel waters third yes in fact you actually do unless of course you have no respect for the rule of law.It was our international water, we dont need to prove they are terrorists.

sure it does, the last time israil blew up a ship of another goverment it caused a shit storm and that was with a goverment WILLING to cover there ass. If they did it again there is all liklyhood that the next lot of ships would be british naval vessals, Australian ANZAC class cruisers, russian aircraft carriers ect. Ie they would be fucked
The Rachel Corrie, which has five Irish nationals and five Malaysians aboard, is due to arrive in Gazan waters over the coming days, a spokeswoman for the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign said. It became separated from the main aid flotilla after being delayed for 48 hours in Malta due to logistical reasons, and is currently off the coast of Libya.
Mr Martin, who called Israeli Ambassador Dr Zion Evrony to a meeting yesterday, said the boat should be allowed through peacefully.
Mr Martin said Israel was also obliged to respect its international obligations under the Vienna Convention and ensure Irish citizens have access to full consular support. He also expressed his condolences to the Turkish government and the families of the people killed when Israeli commandos raided the Turkish registered Mavi Marmara aid ship in international waters as it travelled from Cyprus, killing nine people.
Five Irish campaigners – including leading activists Dr Fintan Lane and Fiachra Ó Luain – are being held in the Be’er Sheva detention camp, from where they face deportation. Dr Lane and Mr Ó Luain were on board Free Gaza boat Challenger 1 which was boarded by Israeli forces...
...Earlier today, Taoiseach Brian Cowen warned there would be “most serious consequences” should any harm come to Irish citizens involved with an aid flotilla destined for Gaza.
Both Mr Cowen and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin called on Israel to allow Irish humanitarian ship, the MV Rachel Corrie , pass through its military blockade of Gaza.

How do you know what they were chanting?
There are no special human rights violations here. This seems to me a simple and straightforward breach of international law by Israel.
Perhaps so, but they haven't released the whole film, have they? What has been released by Israel is a carefully chosen segment of film. The mistake some people are making, especially in this thread, is to assume that what Israel wants us to see is all there is.
I'm sure more will come out once Israel starts releasing eyewitnesses, which it has said it will do within 3 days. We certainly need more facts than Israel is currently allowing out.

So you dont really need those tapes.
The MV Rachel Corrie which was delayed is due to set out today for Gaza - with the backing of the Irish government
How sweet you edited out the part where you wrote Israel delayed the boat.
Where? Link please.
Don't need them, no. But it would be good to see the whole tapes, wouldn't it? It would show how open and transparent Israel is about this. It would show that it has nothing to hide. Wouldn't it?
According to the IDF, they delayed five boats and attacked one [the largest]. They did board all six ships didn't they?
that wasnt what you wrote. You wrote they tempered with "MV Rachel Corrie". You edited it for good reason.

I edited it because I realised there were originally eight ships and two were delayed at the starting point, while five others were taken by the Israelis. I don't know where the MV Rachel Corrie falls and I prefer accuracy to assumptions.
killing unarmed civilans is a breach of human rights laws
