When did Israel use nuclear weapons on civilians?

You are a LIAR. . . i've watched aljazeera for hours now and there is NO video of the thugs raising white flags. Infact the closest aljazeera came to this your falsity is when the newscaster said, ''The protesters have ''ALLEGED'' to have waved white flags''

Watch the news with your two eyes and stop lying. . . .well at least you are smarter than Beaf

yet another ignorant fellow lurking around, i bet u didnt u watch anything, just coming with your blasphemy yet again. Time and time again i meet peeps like u on this site and i just cant help but nod to myself how contagious ignorance can be, Goodluck in ur "al-jazeera watching" that didnt show pple waving white flags,

Stop this Ignorant and religious hate that blinded your eyes. When Sadam hussein used Chemical weapon in Kurdistan did you ever know?

And if the "so called activist" had good intention why they never gave Egypt the aid to pass to Gazans? Or when Hezballah is being armed by Syria and Iran then the whole World is quiet and people like you are the one's hiding behind aid group (with militant agend) and claiming you want to help.

well, i think its not about the weapon in the ship, the blood thirst soldiers are aggressive.why id they have to go in lethal force if they want peaceful interseption, the israeli dont have jurisdiction on international water so why did they have to break international law, israeli have to be control because it seems they dont fear anybody, its just all about them alone,
  one thing about OBAMA is that i think he dont have the power,pertainig to what he said "The president expressed deep regret at the loss of life in today's incident'' and that the prime minister should investigate, to investigate what??about the weapon??or the shooting, it seems he is aware of the interseption and regret of the life that was lost in the attack, had it been they are americans will he say the same thing, there is not justice, he should rebuke them if it is what it takes, they cant just break the law and go free!

This is the obvious truth. I don't know why some of us have coloured our sense of morality so much with religion that we become blind to the obvious.
What is happening in Gaza is a disgrace to humanity; how much better is the situation there than it was in apartheid South Africa?
The only way Israel can ensure its security, is by finding an equitable solution to the Palestinian problem. It isn't by storming aid ships with commando's and shooting civilian volunteers dead; in fact I would say that the repercusions might be dire for all sides.

Are there real security concerns ob the Israeli side? Yes there are, but Israeli actions have started turning World opinions against them. Israel is beginning to look like a rogue state.

I think you're deliberately misstating the situation. Storming the ships with commandos was not necessarily a bad call. Would you have preferred they landed aboard the ships with Boy scouts?
We've seen videos that show the commandos being mobbed and beaten with sticks and bars. I don't know if you know this but beatings with bars and clubs are not fun. We've seen the Israeli soldiers being assaulted by the civillians. That alone is enough to put the lie to the claims from the organizers that resistance would have just been to stand in the way of the captains quarters etc. The activists actively attacked the IDF soldiers.
Please review the video evidence.

There's still a lot to condemn in the actions of the IDF, but to absolve the activists of all blame and responsibility and to neglect the video evidence of their armed resistance  is a shocking case of bias.

Funny enough, weren't you among the ranks of those that jubilated when MEND sailed to Lagos' Atlas Cove and opened fire, killing innocent Naval personnel and civillians alike?
Six civillans killed in that attack - no word of condemnation from you then. Only pure, unalloyed joy.

Cohomology:

Sinking the ship may have been interpreted as a declaration of war with Turkey. The ship was hoisting Turkish flag. The diplomatic fall out would have been tragic for Israel.

Israel should have allowed the flotilla to continue to their destination, as a symbol of goodwill. However, warmongering Netanyahu desires the taste of blood and wanted to use the murder of the civilians to send a message.


What are you talking about?

Sinking a ship you have not given permission not to enter your waters but disregard your instructions is not a declaration of war. It is well within your rights.
Re: Israel Fires On Unarmed Aid Convoy. Many Dead! by Sagamite(m): 10:03am On Jun 01, 2010
hackney:

People can analyse the issue as much as they want.
The fact remains that in this current climate in the middle east, israel is taking no chances.
so whether it humanitarian or even Oxfam, the israelis will intercept it and nip any potential
arms facilitation in the bud.

After all , when the rocket launchers start firing, the whole world will still be speaking grammar while the israelis are
tormented by demonic suicide idiots.

If Isreal is allowed to ignore all sense to "protect" themselves, why should palestinians also not be allowed to ignore all sense to "protect" themselves?

Isreal attacked and killed unarmed people in international waters that were not a direct, immediate and uncontrolable threat to them.

It is a result similar to the same disregard for any sense which we see when they decide to indiscriminately demolish as many houses as possible in Palestine as a way of applying collective punishment (punishing people that are not a direct threat to Isreal).

I repeat:

Isreal attacked and killed unarmed people in international waters that were not a direct, immediate and uncontrolable threat to them.
Re: Israel Fires On Unarmed Aid Convoy. Many Dead! by reindeer: 10:08am On Jun 01, 2010
very very very unfortunate incident indeed.
Both sides have huge blames for this crisis but the israelis were too harsh in their response angry
but that does not absolve those who were warned about coming into those waters,also they should have allowed the soldiers check the consignments if there were no weapons on them.
It would appear that the ships sailed out for only one thing:confrontation and sure enough they got quite a dose of that.
Israel is a paranoid state(no thanks to surrounding enemies who want them wiped off the map.But the international bodies should come in and try to find a lasting solution.
Im sure isreal may end the blockade because of this but they will want guarantees that the place wont be used for launching rockets against her own innocent civil population.
whatever the case, this is a no win situation for either party and only cool heads will ensure more innocents will not die in vain.

Have you considered that the ships were not even headed for Israel? That's an important bit you're missing out. As for your talk of bias, can we keep the argument on the level? Its a bit lame to label opposing views as biased. Some of you guys seem to be getting all emotional for one reason or the other. Lets keep it to cold logic about right or wrong.

Greanpeace regularly employs very robust (some may argue, extreme) tactics against Japanese whalers, but you will never hear that Japanese commandos have shot at least 10 of them dead. Activists will always do what activists do, and that is defend their cause solidly. It was primitive to employ maximum force.

Joy?! Be real!
And can we keep to topic? It doesn't tell well when folk continually dredge up old arguments. Are we going to be talking about MEND when the topic is Israel and we are in the Foreign Affairs section?

Re: Israel Fires On Unarmed Aid Convoy. Many Dead! by Sagamite(m): 10:36am On Jun 01, 2010
Let me try analogies here:

If you are a Uzi sub-machine gun owner and a man threatens to kill you and then you see him coming at you with a hammer and knives, you are free to spray him with bullets and kill him.

If it is a 5 year old boy that is coming at you with slippers threatening to kill you. You put you gun down, turn him around, smack him on the back/bum/cheeks and then take him back to his mother and report him for misbehaving. You don't spray him with you Uzi sub-machine gun and then claim you were scared for your life.

If it was a military ship or a ship filled with military/militant people, then Isreal is within its rights to attack.

This was a ship filled with humanitarians from around the world. Not that much of a danger just like the 5 year old for Isreal to worry that much especially when their action was not stealthly.

texazzpete:

They [b]became
armed (if you want to call it that) when their ship was attacked in INTERNATIONAL waters by [size=14pt]super-armed[/size] (if you insist on calling the humanitarians armed, then we need to elevate this) Isreali soldiers.

They are allowed to protect themselves from such attacks by armed people as they were not in Isreali waters.

Don't climb their ships and they would not have needed to attack you with their "arms".

As in my example above, Israel might want to learn about how the Japanese fend of aggressive Greanpeace ships annually. The unclothed display of force wasn't the most civilised thing they could have done. There are a thousand and one non-violent ways to stop or disable a boat of unarmed aid volunteers and activists.

In fact, another group of anti-whaling activists, SSCS have sunk 10 Japanese whaling ships, but we are far from seeing Japanese commando's pouring down from helicopters and shooting unarmed civilian activists in international waters. That is how to be civilised.

Re: Israel Fires On Unarmed Aid Convoy. Many Dead! by hackney(m): 11:01am On Jun 01, 2010
Israel is the only country in the world that suits the kind of muslim mentality we
have in the middle east.
They dont care how many Jihad countries surround them or about human rights of potential duicide bombers.
If you hit them they hit you harder. It's simple and it works.

Otherwise you will have these demonic idiots taking the piss.
They will end up on your welfare\state benefit  (free everything o!)while preaching in the open that your  trains and buses should be blown up with innocent 'infidels'.

Every country should borrow a leaf from the israelis.
Well , God promised isreal that they will never be defeated in war and im happy about it.
Fear tactics no dey work for jerusalem and for that i'm glad.

@topic
For those paddling strange arguments, please watch the movie below, so that you can have an understanding of how activists go about their business in the West. Believe me, they know the law more than you and I too. Its a regular occurence, but no one has been killed in any primitive, gungho commando operation, yet Japan has lost 10 ships to such action. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/06/japan-whaling-sea-shepherd-greenpeace

The activists on that flotilla were from several different countries, there is even an American ex-ambassador involved, so please lets move away from the religious BS some folk are struggling to smuggle in. Let hard facts rule.
