the international legality of the blockade is still being decided...



oh, really? Well, at least you've shifted from your insistence that it was illegal. But you're still trying to claim that those soldier boarded the boats with non lethal weapons yet intended to murder the people aboard.

The likelihood of an all-out regional war in the Middle East is increasing, the head of the IDF Home Front Command said on Monday, Channel 10 reported.

Speaking to the Institute for National Security Studies, Major General Eyal Eisenberg said that such a conflict could potentially include the use of weapons of mass destruction.

Eisenberg cautioned that the Arab Spring could turn into the "Radical Islamic Winter".

The UN, your favorite arbiter, disagrees.



no it doesn't...



Yes, it does. You don't even try to get it right, just as long as you bark something back. Grow up already.

The flotilla was attacked in international waters, 65km off the Gaza coast.

Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, confirmed that the attack took place in international waters, saying: "This happened in waters outside of Israeli territory, but we have the right to defend ourselves."

Footage from the flotilla's lead vessel, the Mavi Marmara, showed armed Israeli soldiers boarding the ship and helicopters flying overhead.

You don't even bother to comprehend the posts you "answer". I said you're legally incorrect. We know it was in international waters. A nation is allowed to enforce a blockade in international waters; it need not wait until territorial boundaries are crossed.

You don't even try.

Turkey has said it will challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

It is the latest sign of strain between the countries since last year's Israeli action against ships heading for Gaza, in which nine Turks were killed.

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey did not accept the findings of a UN report which said Israel's blockade of Gaza was a legal security measure.

His comments came a day after Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador.

It also halted military co-operation with Israel.

Speaking on state-run Turkish TV, Mr Davutoglu said the UN report, prepared by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer and former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, had not been endorsed by the UN and was therefore not binding.

"What is binding is the ICJ," he went on. "This is what we are saying: let the ICJ decide."

Some activists on the Mavi Marmara attacked commandos as they landed on the ship Turkey, he added, would start the necessary legal procedures in the coming week.

Based in The Hague, the ICJ is a permanent UN court set up to rule on state-to-state disputes.

it looks like the ICJ will decide on the legality of the blockade...

(separate to the technical legality is the use of disproportionate force - which the latest un report confirms yet again)

I'm not talking about the UN report. I'm talking about established, existing international law. You don't even try to answer on-point; you just bark shit back as quickly as you can. I'm not getting sucked further into your dream-dance.



You can argue on that front, I'm arguing the other angle. The UN committee released a report, thus claims it did not endorse it ring false. DD and the Turkish FM would like to see findings by mob democracy, rather than an honest review of the facts.

But you're right - he doesn't even try. It's like a cat playing with a lizard, except the lizard is legless and dead already.

If we're still talking about the original flotilla, they stated that they were ready to martyr themselves for the cause.



no they didn't...



Yes, they did.

Quote

Yesterday the wife of one of the men, Ali Haydar Bengi, said he “constantly prayed to become a martyr”. Mr Bengi, 39, who had four children, had studied at al-Azhar University in Cairo, a leading seat of Islamic learning.

“Before embarking on the journey, he said he desired to become a martyr,” his friend, Sabir Ceylan, said.



You were saying?



Don't say I never did anything for you Mikee

Yes, they did.

Such descriptions would be regarded by many Muslims as evidence that they put religious duty before their lives, rather than an admission that they were heading to battle.

just for you...

Abbas confirmed this week that he has held secret talks with the Israeli president and defense minister in recent weeks, but was unable to reach any breakthrough.

In a separate matter, an Israeli defense official said Tuesday that the military has temporarily suspended its contentious policy of demolishing illegally built Palestinian homes in the West Bank. The official said the order was issued after determining the policy is not equally enforced against illegally built Jewish settler homes.

Palestinians have bitterly complained that demolitions are arbitrary and lopsided and that it's difficult for them to get Israeli construction permits.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the order, which was issued in an internal memorandum. He didn't say how long the order would last.
