I wonder how many 10s of thousands of tonnes of military aid Israel received? To beat the shit out of a few blokes with Guy Fawkes rockets and less than a couple of thousand AKs. Oh and a few thousands civvies that haven't got the space to get away from the nutters.

But don't worry, the Israelis have found that the enemy were trying to get a millionth of the firepower against them.

Warsaw Ghetto / Gaza - similarities?

How come the Israelis can seize a ship in international waters? Is that not piracy?

'Cos their Dad (the USA) is bigger than everyone else's dad, so Israel can - and does - do whatever the hell it wants to.

The Guy Fawkes rockets are MLRS Grad missiles. They kill!

So stop talking bolloxs!

Yeah, because it's OK for the muslims to kill jews

It's a good catch. This 'war fighting materiel' was going to be used, not against military targets, but civilian.

If Israel feels it needs to interdict bombs and missiles in international waters that are going to be used against its civilian population, then you'll probably find it's got the suport of anyone with any common sense - notwithstanding Israel's ludicrous double standards regarding the occupied territories.

Lets put it this way. If there was a legitimate 'end user' certificate, say for the Syrian government, this would have been an illegal seizure. However, this was a gun-runner to an unknown recipient, (although it was almost certainly Hezbollah), so the shipment is illegal, and therefore, nickable.

Stopping arms proliferation isn't illegal. I believe its a legal obligation.

What, like the anti-tank missiles?

Yeah, because Hizbullah have never fire military weapons at civilians…

None, the Gazans arent being shipped out for relocation east. But for Bolshies it's good agitprop to claim.

Hardly Bolshy - I'm true-blue Tory, but if my country was taken over and I was shoved into what is in effect a ghetto I'm damned sure I'd fight back.

I do enjoy a certain schadenfreude at a state (Israel) founded on terrorism (Stern Gang etc.) howling about terrorists.

The Malyutka missiles (NATO SAGGER) are old BUT they wouldn't be used as missiles (they don't arm until 500 metres from the launcher), They do have shaped charge warheads to be used as IED's against armour and soft-skinned vehicles like school buses. However thank you for your military input.

Oh wait.....................................................

Edited once to add - you do know this stuff was captured in 2002 don't you?

Double standards they may be, but look at it from the Israeli perspective. They can have things their way, both ways, and nobody's going to stop them. Having their cake and eating it and all that. The US, France, China, and Russia all do the same sort of thing, simply because they can, and it's mugs like us Brits who bend over backwards to accomodate the EU etc when we don't need to.
