The "Humanitarians" brought not only food to Gaza, but violence and hatred against Israel.

Good day to Pro, good day readers and fellow debaters. Initial Actions – Rebuttals to Pro's 4 points. Secondary Actions – Sourced background info on how the situation arose. INITIAL ACTIONS 1.) Weapon smuggling is known to go on when a large military force occupies an area and subjects people to be segregated and lowered as a citizen in what is also (in this case) their own country (Most history cases point this out when resistance forces arise due to a country under occupation) ‘If I didn't make it clear – Israel constantly lets food, water, petrol, medical supplies and even electricity into the Gaza strip. (Again, under inspection)' – Please see my round one post – The UN state Israel allow at most one quarter of the aid that is needed. If Israel followed UN regulations, maybe daring humanitarian expeditions would not be needed. ‘(I assume I don't have to explain why it is important to stop heavy weapons from arriving to Hamas,' – Please don't assume, please elaborate this point. Why can Hamas not have weapons yet Israel is allowed to equip the IDF? ‘Assuming that the blockade was properly announced' – Dancing on the head of a pin is the term, I think. This makes of breaks this quote. 2.) ‘One of the differences between terror and a military action is that terror is done without warning.' Military tactics - Flanking – Attacking the enemy without warning from the rear/side. Military assassinations – Covert operatives attacking from an undisclosed location to disrupt the enemy by eliminating key members of the opposing force. I think both are done without warning. ‘They also carried pistols (note - pistols, not combat guns), in their pockets.' Since when is a pistol not a combat gun? Combat is engaging with an enemy/prey etc and trying to defeat them, simplest way in this era is to have superior weaponry. ‘Israel could act differently, by throwing tear gas over the ship before landing. However, such an act, while not lethal, would have caused pain to all 600 passengers, most of them not involved in any violent act. This would have eliminated the need to actually shoot live ammunition.' The Israeli army and navy could have simply barred the ships – as in, put one of their ships in the way – also known as…a blockade. Also tear gas is to cause discomfort and to subdue the opponent(s), pain would only follow due to health issues (reactions etc) 3.) ‘Why did the convoy not agree to disembark in Ashdod port? If they had nothing to hide, which turns out they didn't, what reason can they possibly had not to co-operate, and by this to force Israel to carry out such an operation, which would obviously lead to such a result? I'll tell you why. And be sure they have planned it.' They tried to get directly to the coast because, as mentioned above – Israel are only allowing at best, one quarter on the required aid. So if they did disembark at Ashdod, given the evidence of Israel's behavior in the past of allowing aid into Gaza, they would have held a lot of it back. Plus it is ludicrous to not allow cement and steel in because it could be used to house rockets for targeting locations. The consumption of these raw materials into weapons is in a minority. As mentioned in the comments, people's houses are being knocked down. 4.) ‘To sum, this was, as I said, a script of a play the Hamas successfully got the whole world into. Time to clap hands? I don't think so.' I know it is to be expected for an Israeli to state that it must be Hamas behind everything. But this is based on what? That they happen to be the enemy of Israel and so, anyone doing anything in league with the Palestinian people is an associate of Hamas or is a part of Hamas? Turkey staunchly claims that their representatives in the flotilla were a charity group and not terrorists. It is a conspiracy theory as of yet obviously unproven that over 600 people are in league with Hamas or have any terrorist inclinations. This is yet to be proved and is serious form of slander. SECONDAY ACTIONS Dear Pro, As per what you wrote in the comments section, please see the below links just to peruse what the rest of the world is saying and thinking. It is not wrong of you to be on the side you are on but please, bare in mind you can think against the majority opinion. ‘Judge of a man by his questions rather than by his answers' - Voltaire ‘I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.' - Voltaire Additional information section. ‘The Carter Center in the United States, founded by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to advance human rights and alleviate suffering, condemned the attack as "unprovoked and illegal." "These tragic deaths are a terrible reminder that the failed policy of besieging Gaza mainly hurts civilians," Carter said Wednesday in a statement. He called on the International Quartet comprising the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia to "urgently agree on a mechanism to end the closure of Gaza, reunite the Palestinian factions, and permit unification of Palestinian people in their social and political life."' - http://edition.cnn.com... ‘Israel's Explanation for Deadly Gaza Aid Attack "Full of Holes as a Window Screen"–Former US Ambassador Edward Peck' http://www.democracynow.org...
