They haven’t screwed anything up. They are protecting sovereign waters. They were offered to be taken to port and have their cargo inspected. They tried to run the gauntlet. They are damn lucky the IDF has restraint. I would have sunken all the vessels and denied any knowledge of the situation. How many times must Israel show restraint? Israel is DAMN tired of folks resupplying the Hamas terrorists with weapons and have said ENOUGH!


Sorry but you are wrong because how do you protect soverein waters as long as you are in international waters?
This is exactly the failure they made.
It would not be this big deal if they would have raided them inside teritorial waters.

The INTENT was the same. The flotilla PLANNED this in advance. They were surprised in the darkness of the night by an advanced opponent. The IDF were attacked as they dropped to the deck to inspect the vessel with less than lethal weapons. Look at the videos. Look at all of them. The IDF has documented their actions and the actions of the flotilla for all to see. Now let’s see who lies.

Nonsense. The entire world knew that the flotilla was going to attempt to break the blockade. International waters vs territorial waters is simply splitting hairs and has little to no bearing on what was going to happen, one way or another.
