Olive trees, concrete, crayons. . . children's items. . . Yeah, real dangerous. . . :rolleyes:
And they would have let it pass once they seen that.  That was not my point and you know it.  What would you do if Ohio were lobbing  bombs at Indiana constantly?

So why didn't they just wait until it came within territorial waters or the port? They were informed well ahead of time what these ships were carrying, and they had been inspected by government officials at the originating port prior to departure.

If the boarding party truly suspected these ships were carrying arms and weapons, why did they board with paintball guns?

No, they screwed the pooch here and they know it. We'll see what they do with the next ship.

You would think so, wouldn't you. But today Israel tried to deliver all the cargo from the six ships -- except the concrete! Can't risk Hamas building in-ground swimming pools.

I would probably lob a few bombs back at Ohio. I would NOT attack the convoy of RV's heading for Ohio through Kentucky, carrying lawn chairs and barbecue grills.

The kid with dual citizenship got four bullets to the head from a paint-ball gun? Damn. I hope those toys carry parental warning labels.

What some don't seem to have a grasp on is that this ship was carrying supplies to their enemies who are killing them by lobbing bombs at their homes, schools, churches, and businesses daily.  Since when is the bad guy the victim?

We have no reason whatsoever to be supporting the nutjob regime called israel, especially with about $11B a year in grants and another $1B a year in tax deductible contributions.  What the fuck is that?  I see it as aid to a terrorist state; no better than any other middle-eastern, religion-driven, nutjob, terrorist state.  Our support to them makes us the enemy of the rest of that fucked up region and we should stop immediately.  If it wasn't for our protection of big oil, we wouldn't even be there.

What??? May I have your source, please? That's outrageous, when our own country is facing this kind of crisis.

Acutally, I added the $1B in deductibles to what was a one-time number of $10B annually (I can't find that source.  A quick look around some solid sites seems to give a number more like $6B per year (direct and indirect), but I would bet the number is still more like $10B.  There is some indication that the direct aid was going to stop, but I don't know that has happened.  When you can tell me why sending money to israel is tax deductible in this country, then some of this money might make sense, as well.
