[Procyon]

The causus belli was the unauthorized entry of the vessel Mavi Mamara into a military exclusion zone that Israel had established under international law.

Israel had the right under international law to board the vessel for inspection in international waters (to determine whether the master of the vessel was still in command and to ascertain his intentions) and the boarding party had the right under international law to use deadly force to protect the party against the application of deadly force against them.

This is trash talk for the consumption of the Turkisk body politic but Israel should certainly be planning for war.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

So true.
