I repeat... IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS!!! Plus those ships were no threat to Israel. WAKE THE HELL UP!!!! Pardon me for saying "so what".. There's a LONG HISTORY of interdicting, boarding, and/or SINKING, blockade runners. We did it during the Civil War... We blockaded Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.. All in international waters. Even the SS Exodus, a ship carrying Jewish emigrants to Palestine was interdicted and boarded by British Naval Vessels in INTERNATIONAL WATERS in 1947 and it's passengers deported back to France. en.wikipedia.org Read the maritime law on blockades. mfa.gov.il Israel and Hamas are at war... Do you dispute this? Numerous times yourself, Sarman, and others have declared the sovereign right of the Palestinians to defend themselves against perceived Israeli aggression. Do you dispute this? If you are providing aid and comfort to EITHER POWER IN A CONFLICT, participating belligerents have the right to attempt to interdict non-belligerent vessels attempting to violate a blockade. That's Maritime Law. avalon.law.yale.edu jstor.org en.wikipedia.org And recognize this fact.. If it were Hamas blockading Israel, you'd be just fine with their interdicting and boarding neutral ships carrying "aid and comfort" to Israeli shores. Hawk
