- Thread starter Big Sleazy

The terrorists on the flotilla were justly and properly shot in the act as they committed armed attack on lawful security forces. The UN looked into it and exonerated Israel of wrongdoing.Yup, expect more.
The Flotilla.
Gaza last year.
Apartheid.
Occupation.
And as a reminder, the ICC investigator has been asked to re-open the Gaza Flotilla file.

Meanwhile the actual finding we really have from the UN is that Israel was fully justified.
As for your constant appeal to the ICC:
What army is the ICC going to use to defeat Hamas and bring them to justice?
that was not the finding...such a liar...:blabla:
Correct.
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=36086#.ViqL0RCrTRY23 September 2010 – Israeli forces violated human rights and international humanitarian law during the 31 May incident involving a convoy of aid ships bound for Gaza, the United Nations Human Rights Council’s international, independent fact-finding mission has concluded.
In a 56-page report, the fact-finding mission, which is separate from Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s four-member panel of inquiry into the same incident, found that the action of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in intercepting one of the ships, the Mavi Marmara, on the high sea was “clearly unlawful.”
Nine civilians lost their lives and several more were seriously injured in the incident against the flotilla that departed from Turkey and was trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, which has been the subject of an Israeli blockade since 2007.
“The conduct of the Israeli military and other personnel towards the flotilla passengers was not only disproportionate to the occasion but demonstrated levels of totally unnecessary and incredible violence,” the report states.
