Give the good ship Juliano some props -- literally. The Swedish-flagged craft was in the Greek port of Piraeus as part of a flotilla seeking to challenge Israels naval security cordon around Gaza when, according to flotilla organizers, hostile divers destroyed the [ships] propeller house and cut the propeller shaft. It seems that someone one-upped the peaceniks attempt to create an international incident.
They should count themselves lucky no-one was hurt. Last year nine demonstrators were killed when they attacked Israeli naval commandos boarding the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara. And there are more direct responses in more serious cases. In late June five Russian nuclear scientists who had been assisting Iran with its nuclear program died in a plane crash outside the northern city of Petrozavodsk. In November 2010, Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari was killed in Tehran when a motorcyclist placed a bomb on the window of his car and sped away before it detonated. Another scientist, Fereydoun Abbasi, was wounded in an identical attack the same day. In August 2010 Reza Baruni, the mastermind of Irans top-secret military drone program, was killed when three separate explosions destroyed his house. The official version blamed a gas leak. The same day that Mr. Baruni died, three UAVs launched from an unknown location smashed into the dome of Irans Bushehr nuclear reactor, killing five. Tehran later claimed this incident was part of a readiness test.

PING!
They’re not “peaceniks”. They’ve simply taken sides in a war, and howl when the other side fights back.
I’m just wondering how long it’ll be until someone does the same thing to the “Whale Wars” idiots. They go to the Antarctic in a barely seaworthy ship and we’re supposed to feel for them?
I’m just thinking this is a misunderstanding due to severe propeller shaft corrosion.
Bush’s fault

Exactly. Those dang things fall off all the time. Nothing to see here.
Kind’a disappointing that none of the scum got killed...’cause they’ll be back!

When you make it financially a burden, they’ll stop.
I hadn’t thought about an Israeli connection with the dead Russians, though. I figured it was crazy jihadists if anyone, because even the muzzies hate muzzies and do not want achmadamnnutjob getting nukes.
