Dear Proxy,

Did the Israelis find any dangerous contraband
on the detained vessels or do certain "illegal"
food items fall into the category of weapons that
can be used against Israel? It also appears that the
confiscated camera equipment of news men and other
passengers was considered to be a threat to the
security of Israel. Perhaps the Israelis were
concerned that the true facts
of the attack would be revealed by these cameras.
The only film evidence of the attack has been
presented by the Israeli military for which
they were well prepared with night vision, and
multiple angles. Certainly giving the appearance
of a computer generated stage production.

A quote read in "Haaretz," :

"The Palestinians won't die of starvation, but
they'll get a lot thinner."

Foxy said >>Certainly giving the appearance

I see they weren't really hit with iron bars it was a Pixar animation!

The anti-Israel lobby is upset because they weren't able to stage manage the show this time - though they did have their cameras and journalists at the ready

I wonder where the author of this trash is going to hide when this blows up? It is going to, nothing surer, the evidence is damning...

PS Anyone who doesn't respect what their soldiers did for THEM, does not deserve to live in their Country. F%ck off somewhere where your talent will be appreciated, I'll happily pay for you to visit the Taliban, I'll even provide the camera and upload time for them to film what happens.

I continue to be amazed at the number of people who are unaware of the
nature of war at sea.

I would suggest a few minutes thought along these lines.

It is generally considered that there is a war like status between
Gaza and Israel.
Israel should to clarify matters declare a state of war with Gaza.
There seems to be a large group of protesters who are surprised that
people might actually be killed in a war at sea.
Baby Boomers and those younger do not seem to realise the nature of
war at sea.

In a war, blockade runners are likely to be torpedoed without notice.
If Israel had sunk the ships with all on board there is plenty of
precedence to support their action.

As much as you all are appalled at that, that is the way it is
so live with it !

Dear Proxy

I have to issue the sternest rebuke to you... you made a grave mistake!

You offered Foxy 'facts'..and to my knowledge I've not yet seen them have any impact on her sentimental duck and weave position.

Facts and Foxy don't go well together :) next time.. just try 'spin' it might get you further.

I mean.. imagine Foxy reading the Charter of Hamas.. she would not connect that in the slightest way with the blockade of the Israelis.
The northbidge data path is hampered by memory unsuited to the buss speed.

Poor CJ, Foxy and ilk are still equipped with old fashioned ram.. the rest of us are already on DDR3.

The author is beyond redemption it seems.. 'pirate' ? errr.. rather closes the discussion right there at the title.

It is kind of difficult to hold a position when the guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/01/israel-no-choice-gaza-flotilla) and even an Al-Jazeera cameraman that was on the scene (http://alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE6521UG.htm) say different. I mean, between them, the Guardian & Al-Jazeera, you have pretty much the worlds most one-eyed supporters of everything Palestinian, when they give up, methinks it really may be time to reconsider your position...
