Wow, what an unfortunate and tragic event.

It's sad that there were casualties.

I'm going to refrain from placing immediate judgement until more details emerge, but from what it sounds like, both sides here acted stupid.

I'm sure the IDF will let us know what happened.

The US media will frame the story using their version of it as what "the other side claims". Then of course we will get those "hysterical Muslims" side of it.....and golly who knows what happened???

Just 30 minutes ago the IDF was claiming no one died.

Ah here we go! .......This is the IDF I know.

They are claiming they were fired on by the humanitarian peace ship protestors!

So this was all justified....nothing to see here....move along.

Sad that people must be killed for firing at peace loving Israeli Jews but that's what happened....The IDF says.

This is nothing new is it, look at the Dubai scandal when Israel used the cloned passports of innocent people to gain access to, and then murder, a Palestinian in a Dubai hotel.
It seems that international law does'nt apply to them, they use white phospherous munitions on civilians, build illegal settlements on Palestinian land & then wonder why the Palestinian people hate them.
Israel uses it's right to exist as an excuse for every atrocity it commits, the irony is they don't believe that the right to exist should extend to the Palestinian people.

I'm waiting for one to come on CD on tell what hell the Israeli civilians are going through right now just hoping and praying a rocket sent in revenge doesn't strike their house.

They live in constant fear don't you know?

Oh what pain these "armed" humanitarian protestors have caused them!

Yep, and nevermind that the aid ships also had weapons for hamas on them? And who does hamas fire on? ISRAEL ! As for palestinian rights to Israel's rightful land, no! The west bank and gaza should all be part Of Israeli land, homes and whatever else Israel wants it to be. You all forget the palestinians didn't want what is Israel UNTIL the Israel land was formed by the un. Then every arab country sent their palestinian perverts to Israel just to cause trouble. If it is so important for the palestinians to have their own country, then why does the arabs refuse to give them a place ? It's because the palestinians HAVE ALWAYS been a pain in the rear no matter where they were located!. Palestinians have always been trouble makers, wanting something for nothing, all thru history. Even the other arabs don't want them!

I've had people tell me that the Israeli version of the CIA, don't recall the name of it, but if they wanted Obama dead he would be dead. What an arrogant statement to make, and typical of the Israeli government's attitude as a whole.

Yep. That's cocktail party conversation in Israel. Brag about how influential they are here. How both parties are tripping over themselves to show how much they love Israel. Look at all the gullible Moms and Dads that send their sons and daughters off to the Middle East to "fight for freedom"? (aka Israel's strategic interests) Of course it's antisemitic to point that out here. Only Jews may foster an opinion on this issue. They are free of prejudice and bigotry.

Why exactly? Isn't the individual's right to property, guaranteed by the state, one of your maximes?

Some of the land there belongs to people of arabic heritance, with deeds of land etc. Why do you counsel wanton property seizure by the government?

Way to go, generalizing a people (or subset of the population)!

Your statement joins a famous list of inane utterings such as:

- the Jew is an insect
- the black man is inferior to the white
- all non-muslims must be converted or killed

etc.
