Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship
To those defending Israel, you honestly think there would be a dozen or so journalists on a flotilla if it was full of terrorists? Give me a break.
Furthermore, activists on the flotilla were logically not terrorists. The flotilla boats were prepared for this journey long in advance and gained much publicity, hence why there were journalists overboard. It's stupid to claim these activists were terrorists, because those who claim they were terrorists are using the following logic; that is that it is typical of Islamic terrorists to publically organise a flotilla of aid, call several Western journalists and approach Israel to 'attack' it with axes and knives in full view of Israeli military.
In addition, they were attacked on international waters. Surely Israel would only truly be threatened when they were in Israeli waters? It was obviously first strike on behalf of Israel.
Also, it is to be noted that firing on behalf of the activists was due to guns they took from Israeli soldiers. Obviously this implies that they were taken, once Israeli troops had already begun their invasion onboard.
Weapons such as axes and knives are explainable not as the weapons of terrorists, the far-fetched explanation provided by the IDF, but a way to deter the thousands of pirates in the region.
