Where is the outrage from the left at Israel for defending themselves?

liberals all over the world europe mainly are screaming about the soldiers from Israel defending themselves from a voilent mob,even though the video shows that the mob is brutally attacking the soldiers with pipes and other weapons,they even throw one overboard.

These people on the these boats intentionally tried to spark an incident,it has been said that over 50 of these people have ties to terrorism,weaonsmoney and terrorist related manuscript was also found on board.

The I.H.H is a known sponsor of terrorist activities and causes,even admitted by the french of all people.Anothet sponsor of this flotilla is called free gaza,that does not sound humanitarian but political and they have known sponsors and members like known domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and othe members of the weather underground.

The people that sponsored and ran this flotilla scream terrorism agenda and political beliefs,their people attack soldiers violently whoa are simply there to ensure it was humanitarian mission.

As a Marine myself I know that firing into a crowd is a last resort to only be done when you are in true fear for your life,and a mob of people attacking me with pipes,club,sticks,knives and even a few reported firearms,yes I would shoot to because my life and the lives of my fellow Marines or in this case soldiers were in very serious danger.

You do not fast rope onto a ship firing a weapon unless you are being fired upon yourself seeing how it is very diificult and dangerous and wrong to fire on a crowd without provocation,the video shows plain as day who the aggressors are yet liberals and the un still attack the victims in this provocation.

Isreal was there simply to ensure the shipment was safe ad ended up having to defend their very lives from a mob of people with murder and radical ideaology on their agenda,by all apperaances the soldiers showed real restraint when they could have mowed the crowd down,they simply responded enough to get the message across of backoff and stop and leave us alone.

All thes arm chair crybabies have never been in a situation like this where a split second decision is what is needed to even stay alive,the soldierssimply did what any normal person would do when attacked and your life is in danger,you defend yourself.

    Liberals believe in moral relativism. They believe both sides have equal arguments and have equal validity. Of course this is nonsense. The Israeli's view is just let us live in peace, don't bother us and we won't bother you. Hamas' view is we will not stop until all Jews are dead and Israel is destroyed. In a liberals mind, both are valid even though one is admirable and the other is evil.

    Israel's defense for the lives lost is that the Israeli soldiers were only defending themselves. The problem with that rationale is that the boats were in international waters. The Israeli soldiers had no legal right to board those boats.

    If they had followed international law, there would have been no need to defend themselves. What about this do Israel and her supporters NOT understand. They acted as a rogue state would and not as an established democratic government would act. Pretty simple, really...

    The video you are talking about was only shown on Fox. None of the other networks showed the video of the "humanitarian activists" clubbing the Israelis like baby seals.

    The White House approved main stream media will not show this video because it does not fit their narrative. Palestinian's good ... Israel bad.

    I cant figure this out. Did Israel learn how to spin from the Republicans, or is it the other way around.

    I think Israel has every right to defend themselves

  • If I attack you I can call it defending myself?

    Republican world is so strange.
