1. The blockade of Gaza is wrong and must end. After several years, I 
think we can all agree that Israel's not going to succeed in starving 
the Palestinian people into rejecting Hamas. It didn't work in Cuba, 
it's not going to work in Gaza.
2. Individuals have a right to protest injustice and an obligation to 
attempt to circumvent unjust laws. The flotilla participants are 
therefore justified in their attempt to break the blockade.
3. Whether legally justifiable or not, the IDF had no business sending 
commandos to board a civilian ship in international waters under the 
cover of night, least of all with automatic weapons turned against 
civilians. The raid on the flotilla demonstrates an inexcusable lack of 
proper judgment, and our hearts should rend for all victims of this assault.
That said:
4. By engaging in violence against the IDF, the activists aboard the 
vessel gave Israel plausible deniability that their soldiers were acting 
in self-defense, thereby turning what would have been a propaganda slam 
dunk into a rimshot. Worse yet, they have demonstrated succinctly to 
Israel's supporters and allies that they, and by extension all 
Palestinian solidarity activists, are neither non-violent nor pro-peace. 
This hampers their cause and the greater cause of Palestinian liberation.
5. By partnering with İnsani Yardım Vakfı, an Islamic relief 
organization that has been tied by the CIA and Mossad to al Qaeda and 
other terror groups, the Free Gaza movement has cast doubts on the 
credibility of their activities. Worse yet, that a scimitar wielding 
Islamist aboard the ship was allowed to prance before television cameras 
while others likened the flotilla to the Battle of Khyber indicates, at 
best, that the Free Gaza movement's communications team has a big 
messaging problem, and at worst, that the floatilla is nothing more than 
a tool of radical Islamists bent on Israel's destruction.
6. Because the amount and nature of aid being transferred by the 
floatilla to Gaza is insignificant considering Gaza's true needs, the 
conclusion is inescapable that this activity was merely symbolic and 
deliberately intended to provoke an IDF response that would evince 
Israel's barbarism. Mission accomplished, apparently. But to keep 
representing this as an honest-to-goodness humanitarian mission focused 
on the transfer of relief supplies is deceptive and disingenuous.
7. Israel's reaction to this provocation suggests that the Netanyahu 
administration is either a) insane, b) incompetent, c) all of the above, 
or d) working towards a major concession—such as endorsing the creation 
of a Palestinian state—which requires the political cover of 
international pressure in order to succeed. However, the end result of 
this particular interdiction will only be the further isolation of 
Israel from the international community and a mounting conviction that 
Israel is operating as a rogue state. This is untenable for Israel's 
survival.

 4. By engaging in violence against the IDF,
dopo che dagli elicotteri i pirati dell'idf avevano fatto tiro al
bersaglio con le loro teste.
That's said, i saprofiti vanno bene a coppie.
