“Israel should have let a different country board it in international waters or have done this boarding in Palestinian waters.”
It really doesn’t matter as they admitted their intention to break the legal blockade.
“Additionally, why was it that IDF forces had guns to kill a bunch of passengers but no passenger, on a boat Israel thought had arms, had a gun to shoot the IDF?”
Have you not been reading the news? The 5 ships that complied had no casualties. The one Turk ship that did resist, overpowered 4 IDF and stole 2 of their sidearms.
The reason this went bad is that IDF went in to easy with riot control paintball guns and sidearms and did not have permission to fire until they were attacked.
“but no confirmation has been made that these two bullets weren’t from their own guns during the melee.”
The bullets did come from stolen IDF guns...2 IDF were shot, one stabbed, and 1 got head injuries from steel pipe beatings.
They should have done the whole damn terrors supporting ship since the media always blames Israel anyway.
Unfortunately, it can't be proven they were going to do so. They were boarded far into INTERNATIONAL waters, not Palestinian waters.
“Have you not been reading the news? The 5 ships that complied had no casualties. The one Turk ship that did resist, overpowered 4 IDF and stole 2 of their sidearms.”
So? There were no guns used by any passengers that weren't taken from the IDF themselves. And then none of the passengers killed any IDF soldiers, even after holding them for 10 minutes. Only the IDF used weapons to kill.
Israel effectively boarded a ship international waters, killing unarmed passengers were were defending themselves. This will continue to be the effective mantra in the media, and it is a fair interpretation of what actually happened.
