Israel preparing a nuclear strike against Iran? Balderdash.
Like in most things in life the innocent must sit back and wait for the guilty to strike first.

Always at the forefront of delivering humanitarian aid,
the Iranian Revolutionary Guards will ensure that the Gazans do not starve.
What those guys won't do to help others in need!

Earth to David G. You spurt out generalisations and terms as if you have a semblance of understanding of either the words, or situation. At the time of the declaration of independence (Israeli version) or Nakhbar (the tragedy-Palestinian version) there were 600,000 Jews and 1.2 million Arabs, all of them Palestinian as that was the name of the British run state. After the declaration, 800,000 Jewish Refugees were expelled from Arab countries, where law today forbids anyone to sell either land or business to a Jew.
Seriously mate, study up a bit.

This author is seriously deluded if he thinks that the ACTU will support a boycott of Israel.

If it does, I WILL GO SCAB, which is saying something considering my family helped build the AWU in the 1890's, and not one of us has EVER crossed a picket line. I remember after Latham lost, I got sent cards asking whether it was due to lack of interest in boat people, not enough aid to wherever, or this that or the other... None of the above, HE ABANDONED HIS BASE to grab the green vote.

The clown hasn't even got his facts straight, even Turkey only claims 9 dead, while Turkish Newspapers have released pictures from the IHH showing captured Israeli Soldiers, in various states of distress, from the first wave of people to board the vessel. The "Peace Activists" who caused these injuries, or who attempted to maintain the captivity of the soldiers, rightfully became martyrs, inshallah.

Why weren't there any injuries on the other boats?

If there was shooting beforehand, why was there anyone left on deck? Do you have any idea what suppressive fire in this instance would have meant? The deck would have been cleared, probably using door guns on the choppers, tear gas, CS and probably grenades would have been used at EVERY doorway/hatch... That is a combat assault... This was most assuredly not a combat assault.

If the Iranians turn up, that will be a combat assault, if they even bother to try boarding it. Iran is at war with Israel, so sink the ships at the Territorial Boundary.

I agree completely. Fancy the Israeli government supporting Work Choices.

I fully support this non violent action to force Israel to stop its collective punishment of the people of the Gaza Strip.
Everyone should boycott Israel and call on your governments and the UN to introduce official sanctions until Israel pulls back to its recognised borders and makes peace with its neighbors.
