Matt Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 UN condemns Israel for attack on aid convoy The UN Security Council has issued a statement calling for an impartial inquiry into Israel's raid on a flotilla of Gaza-bound aid ships. The statement said the investigation should be "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent". It also condemned the "acts" which led to the deaths of at least 10 civilian activists during the operation. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle7141596.ece http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/10201165.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that the local press aren't impressed. Although they obviously aren't in love with Israel the papers are actually remarkably even-handed over here and Israelis do business here, albeit discretely. Not any more methinks. They really are a set of shameless bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboafc Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 fter IDF raid, aid makes its way to Gaza Ashdod Port workers upload cargo from three ships that took part in sail to Strip. Head of Coordination and Liaison Office says goods found on flotilla include 100 electric scooters, tons of medical equipment. 'The entire sail was propagandist and provocative,' he adds Amnon Meranda Published: 06.01.10, 19:05 / Israel News The equipment found on the ships seized early Monday by the Israel Defense Forces while making their way to the Gaza Strip is being unloaded at the Ashdod Port since Monday night. "Most of the equipment was scattered in the ships' storerooms and was not packed in an organized manner," said the port's CEO, Shuki Sagis. Job Done, Going Home? Interior Ministry: All sail detainees will return home soon / Yael Branovsky Some 680 flotilla participants undergo hearing, 38 agree to go home. Ministry official: We could see hate in their eyes Full story "We began unloading in the night," Sagis explained. "We see cargo which was arranged and repacked in order to be led to Gaza, mostly humanitarian cargo, food and toys." He added that some unusual items were also found, but refused to elaborate. The cargo has yet to be weighed, and according to Sagis, in an ordinary situation the ship would not have been accepted at the port as most of its content was unpacked and unorganized. "Nonetheless, we took in those ships and are engaging in Sisyphean labor," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, we have enough problems at home for me to give a toss about two lots of folks with a single mission: To wipe each other (a.k.a. themselves) off the face of the earth. If people want to take sides and get involved about perceived wrongs then fair enough, but really what is the point in siding with one set of genocidal maniacs over another? Personally, as you may have figured, I've given in caring and just say get the hell on with it. If you could do it with spears rather than nuclear devices. Cheers.

No, just carry on gradually stealing their country bit by bit whilst keeping them locked up in the grimmest arse end of what's left of the country in abject squalor, and not even let the rest of the world send them medicine or food.

I don't think they can, though you could get a UN resolution. Though in this case the only UN Resolution is the one stating that there shouldn't be a trade blockade on gaza.
