Gun-sights, cartridges and coded plans found on 'Marmara.'

Firearms may have been thrown overboard by passengers of the Mavi Marmara, Israel Radio reported Friday, citing IDF sources.

According to the report, gun-sights and rifle cartridges not fitting IDF weapons were discovered upon inspection of the ship, leading defense officials to believe that there may have been weapons on board when the ship set out from Turkey aside from the knifes, rocks and slingshots found in the search.

Coded messages apparently alluding to scenarios of soldier-kidnapping and soldier fatalities were also found on board the ship.

Oh.
But surely transporting “knifes, rocks and slingshots” was a significant threat to Israel, no?

I mean, whole countries have been devastated by such things right?

Earnest T. Bass was devastating with a rock.

Bricks, mostly. He liked bricks.

Ignatz was a groundbreaker in the art.

The long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous listlessness.

There has been a recent report and evidence captured by the Israelis of more useful items to terrorists on the boat, thrown overboard.

Also, seeing as Israel repeatedly interdicts a flow of weapons into Gaza, it was hardly a surprise that they wanted to inspect the ships.

I doubt Israel as a country is worried about such weapons.

However, knives, rocks, slingshots, and clubs can be used to wound or kill those who attempt to inspect a ship suspected of carrying contraband. It seems to me that anyone who is attacked in that fashion has the right to defend himself with deadly force.

Don't you agree?

[Let's Roll]

Yes.

Who knew that the Gaza strip was so lacking in knives, slingshots and rocks(!!!)?
