Why not let the Iranians docked at the Egyptian port, the ship only had food and medical supplies?

Iranian aid ship turned back in two attempts to break Gaza blockade

January 14, 2009, 6:31 PM (GMT+02:00)

An Iranian "Shahed" was turned back from reaching the Gazan coast by an Israel Navy Saar 4.5 ship Tuesday, Jan 13, and again Wednesday, attempting to breach the 40-km blockade Israel imposed on Gaza on Dec. 27. After the first try, the boat tried to unload its cargo of food, medicines and clothing at Port Said and was prevented by the Egyptian authorities. After being intercepted by the Israeli Navy again Wednesday, the Iranian vessel turned south to the Sinai port of El Arish. Two Egyptian boats prevented it docking.

The concept of minority rights is an old one for the Jews -- and I defy you to find it in the laws of customs of other people.

People that believe in equal rights don't need laws or customs about minority rights. There are plenty of groups of people with laws about equal rights.

If you are waiting for the Israelis to apologize for wanting some land of their own where they can survive, you will wait in vain.

I'm not, I was asking whether Judaeism has some reuirement for an attachment to land - whether it necessitates or demands "Jewish" land.
