Guns or no guns, this was in international waters...
Now that they have seized the ship, it wouldn't surprise me if they plant weapons. |

I just watched a BBC World news report in which the interviewee (BBC correspondent who's name I didn't catch) had the audacity to refer to this as a case of "crowd control". The footage did show a physical skirmish, but I saw no guns other than in the hands of Israeli soldiers.
These ships were inspected, as I recall. And there were cameras all over the Turkish vessel, so I would like to see Israel try to claim that they were armed. 10 dead & ~50 wounded activists; not a single Israeli casualty.
Piracy and murder on the high seas -- there's no other way to put it. |

Previous BBC title has been updated to "Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship". but they did sneak in this:
| Quote: | | The exact location of the interception is unclear. Israel had warned the ships not to enter its territorial waters. |
The implication is clear: that the flotilla was in Israeli waters. This is tripe: the whole trip was monitored via GPS. The last reported coordinates where 90 miles from Israel. |

If this is in International waters, the people on board the aid ship are entitled to defend themselves no matter how vain it may have been.
I saw some footage of the people of the boat hitting IDF with rods or bars as they came down from the helicopters, but hey I would have probably done the same.
This is murder most foul... |

I'm sick of their nuanced bias... |

Funny you should say that. I ran to my tv to channel surf to find some coverage and am strongly considering canceling the whole damn thing. CNN: Larry King. CBC: a British doc about women and prostitution; oh, and Celine Dion is pregnant!. It makes me want to puke.
If you're on twitter, follow freegazaorg and rcfoundation.
A new update from Gaza TV News. Possibly 20 killed.
