Re: Sea Of Stupidity May 31, 2010
Look its very simple from Israels perspective:

If we don't enforce our rules and blockades, how sensitive the issue might be, we would invite other parties to do the same. So, we follow the rules of engagement and we will stop every trespasser that defies our authority.

Try and beat that consistency. ;)

Re: Sea Of Stupidity May 31, 2010
Oh, no one's ever accused Israel of not being consistent.

A few people are on record saying that Israel would attack and then blame the victims. Par for the course really.

What's different is that the spin isn't working as well as it used to. 'Sea of Stupidity' - sums it up quite well - remember Haaretz posted this evaluation before the killings took place:

The chorus has been singing songs of falsehood and lies. We are all in the chorus saying there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We are all part of the chorus claiming the occupation of Gaza has ended, and that the flotilla is a violent attack on Israeli sovereignty - the cement is for building bunkers and the convoy is being funded by the Turkish Muslim Brotherhood. The Israeli siege of Gaza will topple Hamas and free Gilad Shalit. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy, one of the most ridiculous of the propagandists, outdid himself when he unblinkingly proclaimed that the aid convoy headed toward Gaza was a violation of international law. Right. Exactly.


The lies and false justifications are just continuing (including the laughable attempts to say the actions were legal!) ... :)


Edit. I found the Haniyyah statement:
The Hamas leader in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that if Israel behaved like pirates and attacked the international Freedom Flotilla carrying 10,000 tons of aid meant for Gaza, then the Palestinians will have won.

"The flotilla's message is clear and it will reach the entire world," Haniyeh said Saturday morning during a press conference held at the Gaza port where the ships were expected to dock.

You know those preambles are mere provocations. That doesn't change Israels consistency to do what its safety requires. Who knows what those ships carry, other than aid...

They handled it like they always do. Did you see this video? Do comment on it.

I know your doing your regular routine and trying to ruffle some feathers by being the antagonist here. But come on man 4th largest Army decends on a group of civilians armed with pitch forks and sticks who were trying to supply some relief to other civilians under seige and kills a bunch of them. Thats just plain wrong and against humanity man. Just plain wrong.

But then again when did Israel ever care about that or showed any.

That's true - the 1947 plan gave Israel 55% of the land and Palestine 45% of the land. The Arab side did indeed reject this.

Now they are willing to settle for the 22% that was left before the 1967 war and let Israel keep the 78% they have. Unfortunately, Israel is not happy to 'only' keep this 78% and want more.



If you tell a story Shafique, please complete it with all facts included: Keeping it honest!

As the partition vote in the UN approached, it became clear little hope existed for a political solution to a problem that transcended politics: the Arabs' unwillingness to accept a Jewish state in Palestine and the refusal of the Zionists to settle for anything less. The implacability of the Arabs was evident when Jewish Agency representatives David Horowitz and Abba Eban made a last-ditch effort to reach a compromise in a meeting with Arab League Secretary-General Azzam Pasha on September 16, 1947.

Pasha told them bluntly:

The Arab world is not in a compromising mood. It's likely, Mr. Horowitz, that your plan is rational and logical, but the fate of nations is not decided by rational logic. Nations never concede; they fight. You won't get anything by peaceful means or compromise. You can, perhaps, get something, but only by the force of your arms. We shall try to defeat you. I am not sure we'll succeed, but we'll try. We were able to drive out the Crusaders, but on the other hand we lost Spain and Persia. It may be that we shall lose Palestine. But it's too late to talk of peaceful solutions.


The categorical rejection of partition by the Arab Higher Committee led by Haj Amin al-Huseini as well as the newly created Arab League represented an all-or-nothing attitude that was ultimately counterproductive. It resulted in the utter defeat of Palestinian dreams for independence, for at least half a century.

The Arabs not only rejected partition, but attacked Israel from all sides. The armies of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq invaded Israel on May 15, 1947, the day after Israel's Independence Day, with the clear intention of killing the infant state in its cradle.


That was a clear annihilation attempt. But the infant state kept standing and isn't going to compromise on much land now. Reasonable perhaps to still offer 22 percent after such a long battle?

You take it, or you leave it. :bigsmurf:

Re: Sea of Stupidity Jun 01, 2010
Interesting new revelations from our 'peace activists':

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3L7OV41 ... r_embedded
On the day before the Gaza flotilla confronted the Israeli navy, Al-Jazeera TV documented the pre-battle atmosphere created by men on board the flotilla, who chanted a well-known Islamic battle cry invoking the killing and defeat of Jews in battle:

"[Remember] Khaibar, Khaibar, oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!"

Khaibar is the name of the last Jewish village defeated by Muhammad's army in 628. Many Jews were killed in that battle, which marked the end of Jewish presence in Arabia. There are Muslims who see that as a precursor to future wars against Jews. At gatherings and rallies of extremists, this chant is often heard as a threat to Jews to expect to be defeated and killed again by Muslims.

Al-Jazeera also interviewed a woman who said that the flotilla participants' goal was "one of two happy endings: either Martyrdom or reaching Gaza."

Agree with Rob on this one. Palestine could have shutup and accepted the deal and be in peace today. But its greedy neighbours wanted to forward their own agenda. Gots it ass whooped and now its poor people are paying for the price for the stupidty of the politicians.

Britain offered the same deal to India and Pakistan and they took ( well 99% of it ) and are much better off

Anyways all this besides the OT.

Sure, talk about it as if it was a peanut.

What do you do when you get a steel bar on your head and your mates handgun (see video) is taken from your fellow mate, while he gets thrown overboard and drops a deck down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LulDJh4 ... re=channel

This is not a peaceful convoy. this is provocative and defying the control of Palestinian territories that are blocked by Israel. Under international law, it is clear that Israel was in its right to board the vessles to inspect them. That was violently rejected by the 'peace' protesters.

What follows is a raid gone bad. If the convoy simply approved the Israeli offer to offload at the Israeli controlled harbor, all of this wouldn't be necessary.

But you know those protestors always look for a riot. Well, I hope they are happy now. They got one.

If Turkey keeps pushing this to its limit, they are in for a rude awakening. What the f@ck are they thinking.

Turkey threatens action; Israel on alert

Two Turkish activists were reported to be among those killed in the flotilla. Ankara warned that further supply vessels will be sent to Gaza, escorted by the Turkish Navy, a development with unpredictable consequences.

Feel sorry for Americans’ tax payers whom being forced to pay your wages.

You have failed miserably, because people throughout the globe are fully aware of Israel’s crime against the innocent women and children of Palestine.

Re: Sea Of Stupidity Jun 01, 2010
No my friend. I easily condemn Israeli actions also.

I look at facts as they reveal themselves. From that point onwards, I think rationally (not emotionally) and decide where the blame really lies. Its not the Palestine people nor the Israeli people who are to blame. Its political leadership and absence of political will in Palestine that leaves the people suffering.

Just because the Israeli's have the backing of the West, doesn't mean they have a wildcard to portray military might. I scrutize them on every occassion. I do the same with terrorist fractions like Hamas who hide among people and have no rules to oblige to. They shoot at will. Israel has international rules to oblige to and tries to safeguard its existence in a hostile Arab region. They have rights also. I respect those rights.

So should you if you are humane. The Arab league wanted war in 1947 and was willing to give up Palestine for it. Arab leaders should shame themselves for their selfishness in 1947.

http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_indepe ... ection.php

Yes, Israel is a bad bully, but without the consistency in their actions, they would be walked over on every occassion by every 'peace' protester. I know how Jews suffered during WWII under German rule. You see Palestinians suffer now, because of a failure of Arab leadership and terrorist violence supported by a 7th century book of faith.

Arab leaders should wake up and start accepting peace right away. The time for negotiations is long gone. They had multiple chances since 1947. They failed. Accept it and move on.

Re: Sea Of Stupidity Jun 01, 2010
I'm still amazed at the cack-handedness way in which the Israelis went about their hijacking/piracy.

It's not as if they didn't know the flotilla of Peace Protestors was on its way or there was a lack of intelligence (I mean, seriously - does anyone think they were transporting weapons instead of food, cement etc..?)

I mean - Somalia has no government and yet even though they've had less experience of hijacking boats than Israel (Israel has been doing this for years), they can take boats like this without massacring those on board - the Israelis though, c.ock this up on live tv! :shock:

They should sack their PR agents for starters.

Re: Sea of Stupidity Jun 01, 2010
That's probably because the Somali hijackers have AKs and RPGs. The Israelis were armed with paintball guns and a sidearm - which they didn't use until their lives were in imminent danger.

As for boarding the ship via helicopter, chalk that up to PC ineptitude. The Free Gaza freaks convinced the world that they were 'peace' activists, including some bureaucrat in the Israeli government.

The marines dropped in were expecting passive resistance by Free Gaza freaks. It also looks like the casualty toll has dropped from nineteen to nine or ten. Guess who provided the source that nineteen 'activists' were killed during the boarding?

-- Tue Jun 01, 2010 7:04 am --

Israeli Explanation

Officials estimated that passengers will show slight resistance, and possibly minor violence; for that reason, the operation�s commander decided to bring the helicopter directly above the top deck. The first rope that soldiers used in order to descend down to the ship was wrested away by activists, most of them Turks, and tied to an antenna with the hopes of bringing the chopper down. However, Flotilla 13 fighters decided to carry on.


Navy commandoes slid down to the vessel one by one, yet then the unexpected occurred: The passengers that awaited them on the deck pulled out bats, clubs, and slingshots with glass marbles, assaulting each soldier as he disembarked. The fighters were nabbed one by one and were beaten up badly, yet they attempted to fight back.


However, to their misfortune, they were only equipped with paintball rifles used to disperse minor protests, such as the ones held in Bilin. The paintballs obviously made no impression on the activists, who kept on beating the troops up and even attempted to wrest away their weapons.


One soldier who came to the aid of a comrade was captured by the rioters and sustained severe blows. The commandoes were equipped with handguns but were told they should only use them in the face of life-threatening situations. When they came down from the chopper, they kept on shouting to each other �don�t shoot, don�t shoot,� even though they sustained numerous blows.


�I saw the tip of a rifle�

The Navy commandoes were prepared to mostly encounter political activists seeking to hold a protest, rather than trained street fighters. The soldiers were told they were to verbally convince activists who offer resistance to give up, and only then use paintballs. They were permitted to use their handguns only under extreme circumstances.


The planned rush towards the vessel�s bridge became impossible, even when a second chopper was brought in with another crew of soldiers. �Throw stun grenades,� shouted Flotilla 13�s commander who monitored the operation. The Navy chief was not too far, on board a speedboat belonging to Flotilla 13, along with forces who attempted to climb into the back of the ship.


The forces hurled stun grenades, yet the rioters on the top deck, whose number swelled up to 30 by that time, kept on beating up about 30 commandoes who kept gliding their way one by one from the helicopter. At one point, the attackers nabbed one commando, wrested away his handgun, and threw him down from the top deck to the lower deck, 30 feet below. The soldier sustained a serious head wound and lost his consciousness.


Only after this injury did Flotilla 13 troops ask for permission to use live fire. The commander approved it: You can go ahead and fire. The soldiers pulled out their handguns and started shooting at the rioters� legs, a move that ultimately neutralized them. Meanwhile, the rioters started to fire back at the commandoes.


�I saw the tip of a rifle sticking out of the stairwell,� one commando said. �He fired at us and we fired back. We didn�t see if we hit him. We looked for him later but couldn�t find him.� Two soldiers sustained gunshot wounds to their knee and stomach after rioters apparently fired at them using guns wrested away from troops.

I'm glad that eh accepts the premise that the Somalis are better at hijacking boats than the Israelis - I agree that 'only' bringing guns to a knife fight is out of character for the Israelis.

Thanks also for the paste of the Israeli spin.. now contrast that with what the rest of the world concludes..

Israel is lost at sea
05.31.2010 | Financial Times

Attack on blockade-busters damages its legitimacy

With yesterday’s brazen act of piracy, Israel dealt a blow to the legitimacy of its own struggle. The killing of activists aboard the captured ships sent Israel’s way of defending its security, which it was already imperative to return within the bounds of international law, hurtling into lawlessness.

Israel claims the activists had links with extremist groups and that some attacked Israeli soldiers with knives and sticks (and in some accounts the odd light firearm). Even if true, this would not justify the illegal capture of civilian ships carrying humanitarian aid in international waters, let alone the use of deadly force.

Outrageous as this behaviour was, the true outrage is the illegal blockade of Gaza that it enforced. Since the January 2009 Gaza war, which exposed Israel’s determination to destroy Hamas’s capabilities regardless of the cost to innocent Palestinians, Israel and Egypt have colluded to prevent the enclave’s reconstruction. According to the United Nations, three-quarters of the damage has not been repaired and 60 per cent of homes do not have enough food.

The ostensible goal is to weaken Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood offshoot that rules Gaza (and whose Egyptian incarnation is Hosni Mubarak’s only real opposition ). But the blockade aimed at crushing it, besides the illegal collective punishment it implies, only shores up Hamas’s support. If Israel and Egypt wanted to turn Gaza into a mafia-run statelet, they could hardly do better than sever any alternatives to Hamas’s smuggling network, leaving the population even more at its mercy.

Hamas engages in terrorism and fires occasional rockets into Israel, but it is an example of that rarest of Middle Eastern species: a popularly elected government. It has also signed up to the 2002 comprehensive peace offer by the Arab League and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. If this is a bluff, it is one Israel has yet to call. That is what this is ultimately about. Israel’s government has been pretending it is ready to negotiate for peace, but that there is no one to negotiate with on the other side. The attack on the blockade-busters lays bare the country’s slide into contempt for international law, intolerance of dissent and wilful sabotage of viable representation for Palestinians.

Israel has always known the importance of its conduct being judged legal by the world’s leading powers. Those powers – in the body of the Quartet and the UN Security Council – must now make clear it has gone too far.

And yet they still killed so many! I guess we should be grateful for small mercies!

BTW - if Israel is so confident it is in the right, why has it trying to censor all the news?:
Israel has imposed an information blackout, making it difficult to gather first-hand accounts from the campaigners.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle ... 200351.stm

Could it be they need more time to get their stories straight? But reading the official explanations above, it does read to me that the 'commandos' really screwed up - getting shot with their own guns that had been taken from them and then losing it and killing the humanitarian activists.

What would you say a bunch of somali pirates boared a vessel and the crew attacked these pirates ? Would you say the pirates were in their full rights to open fire at the crew or passengers ?

Lets take it step by step
1- Was the boarding of the vessel even legal ?


Israel's territorial waters extend 68 miles, the interception took place at 70 miles. So even in the event of a turnaround, the ships would need more than two miles(i think). So in my opinion that makes the international waters argument invalid. Besides either which ways the floatilla would be entering Isreali space. So if one has to intercept them, why wait until they enter your space?

But the serious lack of Israeli imagination is retarded.....Why send in commandos at all?


And Robby you questioned the motives behind Turkey's actions?
It's Votesssss!

Israel's interception of floatilla on international waters was well calculated, couse Israel is no member of the internation criminial court and denied ratifiying treaty of the Rome Statute of the Court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statu ... inal_Court

If they did intercept and killed volunteers on national waters than each person's family with a loss could sue against damages inside israel, according to israeli laws, obviously they wanted to avoid this...

The israelies not only attacked the ship, around the same hours they attacked a costline army base of Turkey using a terrorist activity near syrian border. 6 people died there too. Israelies have many army officers working on navy and air bases of Turkey based on treaties made on mutual army applications and intelligence services, as well as contracts for sharing advancements in defence technologies..

Now wait Turkey revising all its terms with Israel pushing it into loneliness in the region then you'll see israel stepping back one by one, apologizing again and giving back everthing Turkey wants, with also the help of the pressure coming from America and Europe as they too are not on the same lines to back Israel as they were 50 years ago just as the rest of the world is today.. But of course anything working against israeli propaganda will not hit the headlines in the west due to jewish control of the western media..I watched BBC yesterday, and not once they gave live air chance to Turks for their own say, but everthing was coming live from Israel parroting themselves away.. O well...need I say more?

Good point MCL! That Erdohan fella from Turkey is a freak also. In his earlier years he said he wanted to create an Islamic state and he was using democracy for doing so! He also tried to replace the Constitutional courts judges to his favor once.

Before Erdohans conviction, the Welfare Party, of which he was a member at the time, was declared unconstitutional and shut down by the Turkish constitutional court on the grounds of threatening the Kemalist nature of Turkey. Erdogan became a constant speaker at the demonstrations held by his colleagues from the banned Welfare Party.[10]

He was given a prison sentence after he had read poetry regarded as a violation of Kemalism by judges. It included lines translated as "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers..."[3]

The poem was quoted from a book published by a state enterprise and one that had been recommended to teachers by the Ministry of Education.


He seems to be another religious dope. Sic!

Contrary to the spin fed to us by the Western and Islamic/Arab media, respectively, it was the Pal-Arabs who rejected the UN partition plan of '47 whereas the Jews accepted the UN plan.


That is the most lame thing I ever heard in my life. Why would you force a whole nation to accept sharing their land with total aliens? Jews or Muslims who gives a damn about it when it comes to the world of secular politics, ha? If one wants to intrude religion in politics then I got another prespective, if we're talking secular politics, then shut the fcuk up and stop forcing people to share their land. Dignity is a red line.

As simple as it is, after centuries of endlss hatred and tense between the Europeans and the Jews, finally our European neigbhours just decided to get rid of the "dirt" by throwing all their garbage cans into the middle east. Some calls it "sympathy towards Jews", some had a religious prespective, but surely they just wanted to get rid of them.

Where are you even from? Perhaps you might want to share your motherland with a bastard nation who will massacre you and your own people for the sake of establishing a bastard country of their own. :blackeye:

If Israel can do whatever it wants FREELY, with the international society not taking action against it, then why complain about Saddam, Nejad, and others? Destroying a whole country (Iraq) for false claims, and preventing Iran from developing nuclear power, randomly attacking Sudanese & Pakistani targets for false claims again!

Seriously this world is full of trash and double standards. Globalization culture is a tool, Media & finance are strong weapons controlled by a lobby that is controlling the US and that is forcing it's politics on the international community by oppressing weak & poor nations, sucking their blood for their own interest. It's like a criminal accusing victims for being the bad ones.

(Since Russia seem to have lost it already), I'm looking forward to see a clash between China and the US.
Let the big guys do the talking, and let us be the audience.

Israel, as a state is totally based on extreme religious thoughts.
Turkey, a secular country, with a moderate party ruling it that has moderate Islamic backgrounds.

Who's the freak?
In every war or attack carried by Israel against whomever, they always use religious slogans from the Talmud and Torah. For instance, the Israeli massacre on Qana in Lebanon, was one of the most brutal massacres against CIVILLIANS, going back to the holy scripts of Jeudaisum, as the Rabbis point, Qana is a valley that was cursed by God, it must be destroyed and kill all humans, animals, and trees in it.

On the other hand, you can compare Al Qaeda's political thoughts and see how similar it is to the Zionist one.

Zionism (Extreme political Jewish trash) is similar to Al Qaeda (Extreme political Islamic trash).

Woohaaha..Hey know your place and difference from him..The citizens of Turkey brought him to government, he is just as strong as he was when he came to power 8 years ago and he is still the number 1 and in an unshakeable position, changing everthing controvercial in Turkish local and foreign policies, making real difference with set of reforms and constitutianal changes..He will be evermore strong when semi conducted constitutional changes takes place this Autumn, he will then continue to base his new election campaign on a new constitution written from zero which will override everthing based on coup administration of colonial powers, pluging them back into their own holes from Turkish politics than you'll see how ME goverments will follow the suit one by one and real islamic humanity taking its due course in everywhere in the region.

So you robby fella do know that while he can pole the flag he carries as he wants you can booty shake in bitter anger and envy in utter helplessness, so keep on parroting, it's nice to know your clear despair Mr. wolf in sheeps coat..

Yeah, I agree with FD - the PLO made some clunkers of mistakes in the past.

However, some of the 'mistakes' is nothing but Israeli spin -eg like Arafat turned down a 'generous' proposal from the Israelis at Oslo (the historic record shows quite the contrary).

The Arabs should indeed, looking back, have settled for the 45% of the land that the UN allocated (even though it was unfairly distributed - as highlighted in the discussions in the General Assembly before the vote).

Now the Palestinians have signed up to settle for only 22% land. Israel's tactics seems to be to obscure this fact..as the FT says above:

(Hamas) has also signed up to the 2002 comprehensive peace offer by the Arab League and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. If this is a bluff, it is one Israel has yet to call. That is what this is ultimately about. Israel’s government has been pretending it is ready to negotiate for peace, but that there is no one to negotiate with on the other side. The attack on the blockade-busters lays bare the country’s slide into contempt for international law, intolerance of dissent and wilful sabotage of viable representation for Palestinians.



As for this attack - I'm still amazed that the Israelis have apparently gone from Chuck Norris to Mr Bean in their competence. I feel sorry for the commandos that were disarmed and thrown over the side of the upper deck, for example!

I'm even feeling sorry for the Israelis in this PR war - they are putting up a brave fight. 10/10 for Chutzpah, 0/10 for tact.
