an equally unstable situation unfolding in Korea.

And another in the Gulf of Mexico. If I were a paranoid sort, I'd say the Deepwater disaster could not have happened at a worse time unintentionally. It will distract and weaken America for the next year at least. However, until solid evidence manifests, I'll say it was probably just Satan. Likewise the Korean situation.

Nevertheless, it's all very useful to those who are trying to start the war to end Israel.

Assuming that the would-be blockade runners did not expect to get through I would expect that the cargo will turn out to be all peaceable goods though I expect some shipboard armaments will or have been found a couple of rifles and the like.I think it were better had the moho crews fired on the Israelis with a couple of RPGs and a machine gun. They, perhaps we would hear about the salvage operation to see what they had actually been carrying.

Turkey is preparing to send more convoys escorted by warships and fighter aircraft


This could easy become the biggest crisis in the History of Israel. Just imagine a clash between the turkish military (and Nato member) and the IDF. (read article 5 Nato treaty)

You gotta do whatever it takes. It’s them or the Israelis.

It’s them or us, too, folks.

The Israelis don’t have their heads in the sand like our Western “leaders”, refusing to look at or deal with a military attack cloaked in a “religion”.

The IDF should have fabricated a mini-homing torpedo for these contingencies. It would go for the propellers, and instead of expolosives it would unspool clouds of thin kevlar and wire lines to foul the props and stop the ships.

The IDF pioneered UAVs with mini missiles that only destroy one car without breaking windows across the street. You would think they would have had a technical answer for these ships, short of the FUBAR spectacle of boarding them with commandos, on film.

Kill the rudder and props far out to sea. There were 6 boats and you disable them all. You wait for them to beg to be towed into a legitimate port of entry. If they don’t do that then you tow them into port

Now that's just crazy talk! Everybody knows that "all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation" so there's nothing to worry about right?...right?

Exactly. But you need a special covert weapon for that. It would take a few weeks to design and test it, using available mini decoy torps as the chassis.

Ah, Darkside 321, how long have you lived? Do you not know that G-d will take care of Israel? I am not afraid.

G-d loves Israel with an everlasting love, and it is He who gives Israel the wisdom to care for herself.

The flotilla was carrying around 800 pro-Palestinian activists from various countries,

I’m sure they all have their papers in order.

a group of 800,, how many ‘militants’ aka activists got thru.. and get thru?

Israel sort of reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation”, with their superior technical know-how.

I was thinking “harpoons and tow-cables”, but your idea is better.

Also, they could sink it slowly with a 50 caliber bullet, and provide rubber life-boats.

when Israeli forces stormed a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists

I wouldn't call one commando coming down a rope to an angry mob as "storming".

PLEASE CITE A SOURCE FOR THIS.

I don't believe the Turks are that stupid...a deliberate provocation of WAR with Israel? They will lose every asset they commit.
