Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship, and beat people on board. Fatalities reported.

No, that's you, that is.

Any commander who signed off on a mission to insert soldiers into a crowded situation should have realised that even armed with sidearms, it wouldn't be too difficult for successful resistance to take place. Gun + crowded area = unwanted and unnecessary casualties.

And yet the early Israeli spin expected us to believe that armed Israeli commandos actually had been overpowered, robbed of their guns and generally defenestrated (if that is the right word, I cant think of a specific one suggesting an involuntary transfer between decks aboard ship).
 
:hmm: No way would I be on that boat.

So what fucking right have you got in criticising and imputing the mental health of those who were trying to take humanitarian aid to a people being starved day and daily of the right to live?! And who defended themselves and their captain from an illegal armed action?

Defenestrated wouldn't be the right word unless a window was somehow involved.

This is so sincere and heartfelt, that I had to supress a little chuckle. :)

It's like you're running for elected office. :)

It's only defenestration if a window is involved, unfortunately.

I suspect that the IDF underestimated the volume of people on the ships and the possibility of resistance, otherwise they'd have realised that a more sensible tactic would have been to force the ships to heave to.
 
"They wanted to die so they could discredit Israel"

I find this one particularly interesting. It's shockingly common. I've heard Israel apologists say that the deaths of children during Cast Lead was the result of a cunning conspiracy by Hamas to get a propaganda coup against Israel.

The fanatical arab who doesn't value life including their own or their family's...

This time it's not just fanatical arabs, though. It's the whole world that's gone fanatical.

Couldn't agree more.

It's a standard, although appallingly shitty Israeli propaganda device. As someone said earlier, it's the serial killer's defence 'If the bitch hadn't resisted then I wouldn't have had to skin her alive and put her head in my freezer for later'

I wasn't. I was criticisng those who would fight against overwhelming odds in what could only end in bloodshed (mainly theirs).
 
Don't put them on ignore - send them to coventry. Collective action.

Easiest way is to call him the moral equivalent of a child molester (for grooving on all those dead Palestinian children and justifying their deaths in terms only a serial killer could find convincing) then he puts *you* on ignore.

Worked for me.
 
Shut up, answer the point.

I guess some people like that in a man?
