There are reports circulating about Turkey sending in Air Support for the Floatilla, given the recent falling out between Israel and Turkey, this could get really ugly, really quickly. If this situation doesn't calm down, we could be looking at the real deal here and Turkey is no small unorganized resistance movement Israel can kick around and round up at will. I hope it doesn't escalate, but that said, Israel has kicked these people around long enough, and it's time for somebody to step in, spank thier talmudic little bottoms and start canceling checks. If humanitarianism and accountibility means war then maybe it's high time for it. NATO has invaded and bombed better countries for a hell of alot less than what's been going on here for fifty years now.
I'd like to see Israel get away with the same attacks on an American funded and operated flotilla, where do I send the food?
Two people have been killed and about 30 injured as an Israeli gunship allegedly attacked the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, reports Al-Jazeera news channel.
Around midnight Sunday the Israeli navy intercepted the fleet of ships about hundred kilometers off the coast of Gaza. They sent out warning signals for the ships to turn round.
A detention center has been established in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod to hold those activists who refuse to turn back. Israeli forces insist that they want to check the cargo aboard.
The international flotilla is an effort aimed at lifting the blockade posed on Gaza by Israel three years ago. Earlier, Israel vowed to stop the vessels. Israeli authorities have refused to comment on the situation. Radmilla Daniell, a pro-Gaza activist, told RT that so far it has been impossible to establish contact with the international activists onboard the ship.
Passengers on the ships were instructed to don life vests as organizers warned of potential Israeli violence.

This is being picked up by the western MSM now, seen the story on Fox, CNN, and MSNBC.
Of course they don't discuss that the flotilla was in international waters, and they barely touch on the violent assault on unarmed civilians.
Also apparently Israel also opened fire onto the gaza beaches, according to some of the "sources" the death toll for this attack is at 10.
The interception reportedly took place in international waters, more than 150km (90 miles) off the coast of Gaza.

Jews and Israel are two separate things. Jews are ordinary people like you and me who practice their faith. Israel is a fascist state who's military murders innocent people and whose government sanctions it. Yes there are a lot of Jews in Israel but I doubt you would be accused of being prejudice against Germans if you said you hated the Nazis.

BBC is saying:

BBC report
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said that after a security check, permitted humanitarian aid confiscated from the boats will be transferred to Gaza through authorized channels. However, Israel would not transfer items it has banned from Gaza under its blockade rules. Palmor said that for example, cement would be allowed only if it is tied to a specific project.
Some 700 pro-Palestinian activists are on the boats, including 1976 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire of Northern Ireland, European legislators and an elderly Holocaust survivor.
