Israel offered a vigorous defense Monday amidst a rapidly deepening international dispute over its deadly overnight raid on a flotilla of ships carrying aid bound for Gaza.
Under pressure from even its allies over the incident that killed at least nine people, Israels Deputy U.N. Ambassador Daniel Carmon took to the floor of the international body to fire back against the idea that the ships were peaceful, unarmed and humanitarian.
What kind of peace activists use knives, clubs and fire from weapons stolen from soldiers...to attack soldiers to attack soldiers who board a ship in accordance with international law?, he asked.
"They are not peace activists; They are not messengers of good will. They cynically use a humanitarian platform to send a message of hate and to implement violence," he added.
Israeli commandos attacked a Gaza-bound aid flotilla Monday carrying 10,000 tons of aid destined for the blockaded Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said seven soldiers were wounded, one of them seriously.

Why bother, you already know what that hateful body will do.
“Why bother, you already know what that hateful body will do.”
Yep, the U.N. and the media have already determined they are once again willing puppets of the terrorist sponsors.
Demand answers from Bill Ayers for financing this provocative flotilla.
We celebrate Memorial Day.
Daily Kos celebrates Flotilla day.
All the BULLSH!T will calm down after the Israelis find the guns and ammo stashed on the ships. Of course the muzzi’s will say the Jews planted them there.
Balaam Hussein “Jackass”Obozo needs to have his friend Ayersn arrested

Mohammed's minions. It's a religion of peace, after all.
Israel realizes that the U.S. under President Barack Hussein Obama, is no longer an ally and that the Arab states are seeing that and feeling emboldened to attack the nation they constantly vilify. War is coming to the middle east - and very soon. It could well spread.
The world is full of people who mindlessly hate Jews and are seeking a good excuse to cheer on those who consider Israel a 'cancer' that has to be 'excised' from the Muslim word - the middle east. Of course, Israelis are not about to roll over and die to please the followers of Islam - or anyone - that wants to pretend they are 'victims' of that tiny, beleaguered nation.
Thanks Obama. Nice job of making a bad situation worse by abandoning another ally to court favor with those who hate the U.S. almost as much as they hate Israel.
At least one of the flottilla ships left a port in northern Cyprus to get to gaza - you know the ethnically cleansed area of Cyprus that Turk Muslims invaded and occupied
Animals.
Let there be no doubt about that. I'm sure it hasn't escaped their attention that a personal friend and former colleague of Barky's organized this attempted breach of the blockade.

Israel takes "borders" more seriously than the U.S. does -- that's for sure ....
Hopefully Israel will nuke them back to the stone age....urm...well nuke them nonetheless.
These islamimals will destroy us all, and too many in the west are ready to pull down their pants and take a rod from behind...
The appeasing bastards can burn in hell! No surrender.
The fact that this was a setup was obvious from the start. I am just stunned that the IDF walked into it. The whole point of using commandos is their ability for stealth and accuracy. But instead they land one-by-one into a mass of armed thugs with paint-ball rifles and handguns! Way to support the troops Netanyahu! I am sorry, but I expect to see repercussions for the Netanyahu govt. for such an ill-planned operation and the ensuing international fiasco.
George Soro’s and J-Street fiananced it.
That Bill Ayers - he’s just everywhere. Kind of makes you think he might have the support of a government somewhere with a lot of cash... Oh, I guess he does - this one. Pretty soon his actions will out him as what he has been all along - a propagandist for the CIA. I guess he figures what the hell, he’s close to retirement age anyway.
The Turkish embassy can be reached at contact@turkishembassy.org if you wish to express yourself about their collusion in this terrorist attack.
I have to agree. This was one of the worst planned military actions I have ever heard of. Why they did this, and in this manner, was absolutely baffling.
One question: if this was a military target worth assaulting, then why not send in commandos with better weaponry? Because it looks to me like the Israelis didn’t really think there were a lot of guns on board, which takes away justification for the raid in the first place.
