While admitting that I do not like the Israelies,,This entire affair would be a moot point if they had waited untill the ships were within their territorial waters then boarded those ships. Which at theat point they had every right to do so under international law.
But,Israel choose not to so yes they should be punished.

you do not consider Egypt or South Africa to be civilized contries? and as far as being a leftist I would think not but then anyone that does not agree with your simple minded logic or have a complete and unquestionable support for Israel must be a leftist because we all know Israel can do no wrong.
And if suppporting the rule of international law on the high seas makes me a leftist in your mind then I guess I am proud.
And that my friend is what this is about its not left or right but about the rule of law.
Never did you see me support the muslims I am merely pointing out the law should apply to everyone and Israel my friend is not above the law as you far right wackos would like us to believe.

Israel is on the continent of Asia not Africa go back to school

kingsfan actually if you would have read the post stupid you will see that at no time did I say muslims were not evil or terrorists,,I said that Isreal acting like a spoiled brat that wants to control the world is also wrong and them dismissing international law and using the USA as their big stick back up has made them believe that can and will do whatever they want in the middle east.

The turks had not the greeks had military exercises with the jews

Its really funny how when you condem the Jews for anything you are automatically a "muslim" just ask kingsfan he seems to be believe that everyone who doubts or questions the intentions of the Jewish government is someone on the side of the radicals. Simply put the Isrealies attacked a convoy of ships in"INTERNATIONAL WATERS" which is an should be a crime but again people who blindly support Isreal don't want to hear the truth that Isreal is also a cause of the conflict and not willing to live in PEACE unless its on their terms period.
The USA has been a puppet of the jewish people for so long that most Americans feel its their right to control the world.Hence,why hasnt the USA pushed its "friend" Isreal to dismantle its nuke weapons the same way we want the rest of the middle east to disarm..
Yes,Muslims are no better and yes are the at present the worlds biggest terror problem but that doesnt give Isreal the right to act in a manner with no regard for the rule of law.

what right did Isreal have in boarding ships in international waters?

those ships were in international waters period, so yes Isreal did in fact commit a criminal act on the high seas and should be brought to the world court for this crime,,but as usual the Jews will again get away with murder calling it "SELF-DEFENSE"
Isreal is a joke and the world is finally seeing them in their true colors

the JEWS need to all die this world would be alot better off we didnt have to listen and obey their rules for the world as they see it.
And finally maybe AMERICA has gotten the gonads to stand up to them and force them to give up their nukes the same as we wish for other countries to do,,
THE WORLD WOULD BE A SAFER PLACE WITHOUT ISREAL PERIOD
