Israeli justice is prompt and defining. I doubt if any of these poor misunderstood starving youths made it back to shore.

From the article:

...Pinto [ship commander] reported that he subsequently instructed the Israeli security guards to remove their pistols from the safe and to fire towards the pirates...

Why employ security if you're going to lock up their tools?

Saving this ship just proves the stupidity of those who say ships should not shoot at pirates.

Gee, using weapons against pirates worked.

Who would of have ever thought of that novel idea?

Israeli justice may be decisive, but now that the info is out, no doubt UN or Spain will start the criminal proceedings and prosecutions of the Israeli security guards.

An old saying that was drilled into me:

An unloaded firearm is a club.
An unloaded magazine is a stone.
A loose bullet is a pebble.

Keep them all loaded up!

The head of Msc Cruises, Domenico Pellegrino, said that the Italian cruise line hired the Israelis because they were the best trained.

It's good to see that people all over the world "get it". Our world is a dangerous place.
