Israeli security forces have reported finding a weapons cache on board the Turkish-flagged merchant vessel........

From no less an authority than IHS Jane's.

a supply of weapons including knives, Molotov cocktails, detonators, wood and metal clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and sharp metal objects...

Are you serious? Would you really have to smuggle in Molotav cocktails? The Israelis won't let the Palestinians in Gaza have wood and metal or kitchen knives or hammers? I'm surprised they didn't list forks or scissors. Oops, those are the sharp objects. I guess you have to be real careful when Israeli commandos are armed with paint ball and lazer tag guns.

A good one with naptha, petroleum jelly or othe ragests are hard to make.

I'm wasting time arguing with the purposefully ignorant.

Knives from the ship's kitchen
I'll grant that 5 to 7 of these are kitchen knives.The swtichblades and daggers are not.

The entire weapons cache

Oh my God! It looks like they were ready for war! There are some dangerous looking CDs, a chain, some hand tools (what would they need those on a boat for?), and some wooden sticks/handles.

Your desperation is obvious. So is the Israeli government's. The Israelis committed an atrocity and massacred a bunch of innocent civilians for a handful of kitchen knives. They even threw the sharpening steel in there to fill out the picture. Also notice that they placed all the knives on a Hamas flag, for effect.

Please stop trying to peddle your propaganda. It's pitiful.

me->the Jordanian refugees in Gaza would be set.

You->The Egyptians live in Gaza. The Jordanians live in the West Bank.

I stand corrected. thank you.

Yes, I just refered to a certain religion as a Satanic cult.

Just in case someone didn't catch it.

Islam is a satanic cult. and Mohammed was a child molesting tool of the devil.

(I like being very clear about such things :^)

What blows my mind is how so much of the world is so anti-semitic. What did the Jews/Israel do to warrant such radical hate? Oh - I forgot - between their rejection of Jesus Christ, their own rebellion against God (just as they have done throughout their history). But that being said - God still has a purpose and a destiny for Israel. Woe is he who stands against Israel.

I really don't thnk the rejection of Christ has anything to do with it. After all, the people who hate the Jews the worst have also rejected Christ.

I think it is because the Jews are God's chosen people and the children of Ishmael are still just bastards. I think that curse of illegitimacy feels like salt in a wound to them. Especially since Israel is free and prosperous (while having few resources) and they are enslaved and living in poverty while sitting on billions of barrels of oil and other resources.

Unfortunately non-Christian europeans (liberals in other words) have also grabbed onto that "hate God's chosen people because they aren't us" thing.

For SOME, it has been used as an excuse. While I don't really believe that is the root of their hate - it is a convenient excuse.

Otherwise - your post is dead-on good!

Why the CD’s? Weapon? Listening? Propaganda CD? Anyone?
