This is why Israel will not allow you to film what happens

Ah, so it was a sting - a bit like Sarah Ferguson. Goad the Israelis into attacking the ship, then have lots of film cameras aboad to record the event.
What's the question anyway?

Well said buildersmate. If it was an aid convoy, why were there 500 people aboard one ship? Why did they attack the soldiers as they landed?

While most of the US and British politicians are bought by Israel nothing will change.

To illegally board a ship in International waters is an act of Piracy and people are allowed to defend themselves. As usual, Israel's response was disproportionate.

There were many people on board because they were going to Gaza to works as aid workers. Israel flattened the place 18 months ago, and there are hospitals to be rebuilt. The ships were carrying concrete and other building materials, which Israel class as illegal and cannot be imported into Gaza. Part of the policy of subjugating the Palestinians.

Gromit you said :
#There were many people on board because they were going to Gaza to works as aid workers. Israel flattened the place 18 months ago, and there are hospitals to be rebuilt#

So 500 aid workers ? Doing what ? The last thing Gaza needs needs is another 500 mouths to feed ? Hamass claim to have all the labour and skills needed to rebulld the city but need supplies. Why wasn't all that room onboard taken up by 500 people been used for supplies if that was the reason . Come on Gromit those 500 were there to take on the Israelis with tragic results.
