So guess what, Egypt opened its border and the Palestinians are no longer under siege. Are we the good guys yet? _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme. And quick! |

| It depends. If it really does create an influx of weapons and mercenaries, then you are. If, as some of the pro-Palestinian pundits have claimed, that the improved economy that it allows improves things in Gaza enough that people become less interested in perpetuating the fighting, then you'll be the bad guys. However, IMHO, smart money is on the former happening a lot more than the latter. |

I think both are likely. The local opinion is that weapons and terrorists were already coming in through the tunnels, so all this does is collapse the tunnels as an investment concept and offer the Gazan people a chance to find a decent job. _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme.

UN's Report of the Secretary-General’s Panel of Inquiry on the 31 May 2010 Flotilla Incident
AKA - Palmer Report
The report. Another location. The summary is about three pages long.
NY Times article (hope its not pay-walled. i had no problems]
I think a very short summary would be: Israel’s blockade was justified but that it used excessive force in maintaining it.
As for next steps:
| Rapprochement section wrote: |
1. An appropriate statement of regret should be made by Israel in respect of the incident in light of its consequences.
2. Israel should offer payment for the benefit of the deceased and injured victims and their families, to be administered by the two governments through a joint trust fund of a sufficient amount to be decided by them.
3. Turkey and Israel should resume full diplomatic relations, repairing their relationship in the interests of stability in the Middle East and international peace and security. The establishment of a political roundtable as a forum for exchanging views could assist to this end. |
The third part is not going to happen soon since Turkey published that its sending the Israeli ambassador home. (Their own ambassador to Israel was called back a few months ago and has not been replaced since.)
The second would also be difficult until relationship warms up again(if at all).
I hope Israel expresses the regrets due and puts some money for the trust funds in order to get things started in the right direction. _________________ Will sell this place for beer |

See, Israel didn't sink the ships attempting the run a military blockade, and kill everyone on them. That's simply the level you'd expect for anyone dumb enough to try to run a blockade. So how can what they did be "excessive"? _________________ * These senseless ramblings brought to you by Insanity™. If you just can't figure the dang thing out, it must be Insanity™.

Once the take over started I dont judge the force used as excessive.
What was excessive is the amount of military preparations VS the results. I'd expect the IDF to pull this with no casualties on both sides.
How hard can it be to stop a ship without killing someone? Maybe it should be a real life VSP. _________________ Will sell this place for beer |

Probably not that hard, we did it easily the next time they tried the "running the blockade" stunt. _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme. And quick! |
