Will the world condemn the Israeli pirates for boarding the Turkish aid ships in international waters?

Why should these pirates be allowed to do what ever they like? The Israeli governments actions are illegal and they must be dealt with under maritime law. What is it that makes the Israelis treat others like crap and expect to get away with it?

    Bull Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Those ships could have been carrying explosives and weapons to the Muslim Terrorists in Gaza.

    The Muslim Terrorists have been waging war against Israel.

    Israel has every right to defend itself and prevent the smuggling of explosives and weapons to the vile, evil, morally degenerate Muslim Terrorists in Gaza.

    The actions of Israel were both legal and entirely proper.

    no in accordance to worldwide regulation piracy is complete via a privet end not a central authority so it is not piracy in spite of the undeniable fact that it does not propose it incredibly is criminal it isn't the 1st time Israel does something like this interior the 2003 conflict with Lebanon they killed over 20 UN peace retaining squaddies now they typhoon an help boat crammed with activists and parliament participants from ecu and NATO countries which become on worldwide waters and why not use rubber bullets as a replace of taking photos up a crowd of severe-profiles not something could justifies such an act Israel shouldn't get away with it this time it is our best pal yet what in the adventure that your son shoots up a liquor shop could you enable him get away with it and proceed to shoot up a economic enterprise ?

    I'm Turkish and I don't like Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation.

    Whenever there is problem they are there.

    Not only with Palestinians, with Curds, with workers etc.

    But it seems, they are part of the creators of problems themselves.

    But I don't approve of the way Israel solved its problems either.

    These were international waters.

    Plus there could have been hundred ways to stop those ships without killing people.

    They could even have used pepper spray, N2O or some smoke bomb.

    What they did is unacceptable.

    So, lets say the Japanese were still invading your country, as they did in WWII. Would a ship carrying "aid" to them be considered a legitimate target of war? Would Australian forces boarding that ship and dealing with the resistance on that ship be considered "pirates"?

    Do keep in mind that these ships are bringing aid to a group that regularly fires rockets into urban areas, and sends suicide bombers into areas filled with civilians. I hardly think that intercepting and occupying the "aid" ships is an act of piracy.

    It's only piracy if they were outlaws. These people are not outlaws, they are members of the Israeli Navy and Special Forces. It's a police action.

    The world's already condemning their actions as you have just been proving, posting this from Australia. I'm ashamed to see a fellow Australian, a MEMBER of our multicultural and tolerant community and nation, condemn people just because they are under the command of someone making bad decisions. You're Australian, Australians like you and I should know better than to condemn people of a different culture. You have been evicted of your right to call yourself Australian as far as I'm concerned.

    Israel's terrorism and piracy will continue to be tolerated as long as the U.S. continues to willingly be Israel's pawn, and Israel knows the U.S. will never cease it's unquestioning support.

    Why does the U.S. do this? Because the Christians who are in control of our government believe Israel will build Zion when the Jesus comes back.

    We hope so. Do not buy Israeli produced Food, Wine that will hurt them and remind them not to hurt others. Yes they as a country had a hard start but it does not give them the right to treat others as they were treated
