I think that "misplaced" was meant to be "displaced". Most Gazans (and many 'west bank' ers are DP's and their descendants from the rest of Palestine and Israel at the time of the Nakbah (catastrophe), when they were forced from their homes by BenGurion, the Stern Gang, et al in 1946-48 in order to creat a 'Jewish State'.
Suggest reading Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's "Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" & "A history of Modern Palestine".

Not sure where he 'read' it but I've heard that from a retired US diplomat/ambassador and from a retired Canadian engineer who were in the flotilla.
In fact the diplomat (Edward Peck) interrupted the CBC interviewer when she referred to 'attacking the Soldiers' to say "NO. They were not attacking the soldiers, they were defending their ship against attackers in international waters... with whatever they could find. (They were all searched for weapons and had, even pocket knives confiscated before boarding the ships)

There is NO evidence (in fact MUCH evidence to the contrary from retired US diplomats who were on board, from Nato inspections prior) that there were weapons. There WERE materials for reconstruction of the damages by the most recent INVASION by Israel. There WERE electric wheel chairs........ I suppose they could've been lobbed into Israel with about as much damage as Hamas 'missiles'.
These are the materials that Israel is blockading. Nothing to do with its security. In FACT this enforced poverty, illness, and malnutrition plays RIGHT into the hands of Islamic extremists in the region in general and Hamas in particular.
Israel, led by it's extreme faction, continues to pile bonehead move on top of bonehead move:
Expelling Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem to make way for "Jewish-only" condos.
Expelling Palestinians from their lands in occupied west bank to build walls and (Israeli-only) roads.
and it goes on and on.

Paul Franklin's comment is very good.
This is not something to be condoned but it is also something that we, sitting in our comfy living rooms on a laptop are not fit to judge.
That this man might be sentenced to 10 years after making a split second decision under unimaginably (to most of us) difficult circumstances would be a travesty.
He must be sanctioned. The Afghans are watching. Some incarcerated time (Time served plus?) and discharge, perhaps, but not beyond that.

Any doctor who knowingly withholds information about fetal abnormalities from a pregnant woman deserves not only to be sued but to lose his or her license to practice medicine.
