Come on, wake up and open your eyes.

Palestinians may have danced on 911, but so did Israelis. I bet you would dance around this fact just like you did the last time around.

And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't believe anything but Israeli propaganda. Anything else would be deemed a lie.

Zionism started in North America and Europe long before Hitler gained power. In fact, well before he became a war hero during the WWI. But it was after WWI that the push for a Jewish nation started, and Palestine was targeted (see the British Mandate for Palestine, and the Balfour Agreement).

But, technically, the passion for Israel is as old as the Biblical stories can take you. Why do you think Moses was murdering Canaanites and others? Religious zealots have taken things from there and still trumpet that old path, for "God's chosen people".

If they do, without warrant, they are wrong. I doubt, though, that they board these ships violently and as a military exercise. How many have died in the hands of the USCG in similar incidents?

I'm assuming that would include these folks too. I guess, you must feel sorry for US navy veteran Joe Meadors, who was in one of the ships pirated and has been taken by Israelis (assuming he didn't get killed). I must credit you though, that you have not made any effort to mask your loyalty.

"The defense of the boat was quite well organized," said Espen Goffeng, a 38-year-old activist from Norway who sailed aboard the Mavi Marmara. "There was a plan to keep soldiers off the boat."

I am pretty sure the USCG wasn't trying to be friendly here...

I think that every person who supports the flotilla should go and get on the next one that tries to break the blockade. I mean...what do you have to loose? Might be a nice vacation!

I remember reading that five of the six ships were boarded peacefully without incident, I wonder why no one was killed on them?
