Even the UN said something logical this time, but then there isnt shortage of sadists:
Israel Boat Raid Sparks International Outcry
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the violence, saying, "I am shocked by reports of killing of people in boats carrying supply to Gaza. I heard the ships were in international water. That is very bad."

Israel attacked ship which had Turkish flags. It was attacked in international waters. So even if someone on the ship retaliated with knifes they defended themselves. Because they were not the attackers but just trying to defend themselves as they were attacked.
As Turkey is member of NATO its time to see how "allies" of Turkey will response to this situation. As attack on NATO country is attack on NATO itself (Just like 9/11).
Its sad some idiots trying to say "if Pakistan enter Kashmir blah blah blah" and comparing This situation with Pakistan India. Kashmir is a disputed territory but this act of terrorism by israel happend in international waters. Clear act of war.
Its also sad some are saying that "they had it coming" so its defend-able. If tomorrow Pakistan Nuke India or India Nuke Pakistan or China and then say "they had it coming" will that be justifiable. Just a cheap attempt to defend a terrorist act of Israel.
I really condemn this act of terrorism and wish all survivors from this terrorist act reach home safely. I feel bad for palestinians that what we saw today on TV they experience it almost everyday. I hope UN will take action or atleast Turkey will. But the reality is not how I hope. US will get his adopted son out of this. You cant take action in UN. NATO wont do anything. Arabs are weak. Turkey cant go alone against Israel with US on opposite side.
So.....
RIP the dead. Thanks to the perfect world. The massacre and holocaust of Palestine will continue. and we all will be only able to watch and condemn but wont be able to do anything more than that.
And please pray for all and specially Talat Hussain and Aaj Team and Pakistani NGO workers.

Up to 19 dead as Israel storms Gaza aid ships
ASHDOD, Israel: Israeli naval forces stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in international waters before dawn on Monday, killing up to 19 pro-Palestinian activists, most of them reportedly Turkish nationals.
The bloody ending to the high-profile mission to deliver supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip plunged Israel into a diplomatic crisis on the eve of talks between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As Israel pointed the finger of blame at passengers for initiating the violence, accusing them of using deadly force, activists from the ships countered with their own descriptions of how events unfolded in raid which took place in international waters at around 5:00 am.
Live footage taken from the Turkish passenger boat, which was posted all over the Internet, showed black-clad Israeli commandos rappelling down from helicopters and clashing with activists, as well as several wounded people lying on the deck of the ship.
Under darkness of night, Israeli commandos dropped from a helicopter onto the Turkish passenger ship, Mavi Marmara, and began to shoot the moment their feet hit the deck, according to a report on the website of the Free Gaza Movement.
The shaky footage shows scenes of chaos, with the dark profiles of Israel missile boats looming in the background.
Senior Pakistani journalist Talat Hussain, another Pakistani journalist Agha Raza and a Pakistani NGO worker were also on board one of the ships. So far, they had not made contact.
The Israeli army insisted its troops opened fire only after they were attacked with knives, clubs and even live fire.
As a result of this life-threatening and violent activity, naval forces employed riot dispersal means, including live fire, an army statement said, adding that it appeared as if the passengers were planning to lynch the forces.
Israel had a blunt response to the bloodshed, pinning the blame squarely on the activists.
They initiated the violence, Netanyahu's spokesman Mark Regev told AFP.
We made every possible effort to avoid this incident.
Unfortunately they were attacked with deadly force by the people on the boats with iron bars, knives and live fire.
Israel's Channel 10 TV said 19 passengers were killed and 36 wounded in the raid.
The army confirmed more than 10 people had died in the operation and said between 15 and 30 passengers were wounded.
Five naval commandos were also wounded, two of whom were said to be severely injured, while another three were in moderate condition.
A Turkish charity involved with the flotilla claimed at least 15 people were killed, most of them Turkish nationals.
As details of the bloody confrontation emerged, an Israeli military boat could be seen escorting a large white boat and a smaller yacht-type craft into the southern Israeli port of Ashdod, an AFP correspondent said.
Black-clad naval officers could be seen on the deck of the larger boat which appeared to be a passenger vessel, he said.
Media reports also said that senior Arab Israeli leader Raed Salah had been injured in the clashes.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas slammed the navy raid as a massacre and announced a three-day mourning period.
We will have to take some difficult decisions this evening, an official from his office told Palestinian television, without giving further details.
The Palestinian Authority also called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the piracy, the crime and the Israeli massacre, said top negotiator Saeb Erakat.
Israel's Arab community called a general strike in response to an Israeli naval operation and called for protests across the country.
In response, hundreds from across the political spectrum flooded onto the streets of the northern Arab Israeli city of Nazareth to protest against the bloody attack.
Hamas reacted angrily to the raid.
We call on the Palestinian Authority to halt negotiations, direct or indirect, with Israel because of this crime, said Ismail Haniya, Hamas prime minister in Gaza.
The ships, carrying more than 700 passengers, were on the last leg of an aid mission to deliver some 10,000 tonnes of supplies to Gaza, which has been under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2007.
Israel had warned the attempt to break the Gaza blockade was illegal and that it would intercept the ships, tow them to the Ashdod port and detain the activists before deporting them.
It labelled the convoy a media stunt, insisting the humanitarian situation is stable in Gaza despite reports to the contrary from aid agencies.

Interesting development Geo just reported that turkey has requested an emergency NATO session with Turkish Chief of Army saying that the situation is unacceptable.
Although most probably NATO will do nothing but still it will be an interesting development what happens.

Turkish Premier: "Israel Showed Once Again It Does Not Want Peace In Region"
SANTIAGO - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Israeli government showed once again clearly that it did not want peace.
Prior to his departure from Chile for Turkey, Erdogan told reporters that Israel staged an attack on ships carrying humanitarian aid in international waters by violating the international law.
Erdogan said ships were carrying only humanitarian aid materials including medicine, bread, rise, pasta, tolls, construction materials and they were controlled under the international rules.
Turkey called on UN Security Council to hold an emergency session in regard to Israel's raid and the country would also call on NATO to convene, he said.
"This action, totally contrary to the principles of international law, is inhumane state terrorism. Nobody should think we will keep quiet in the face of this," he said.

The Holy Prophet (SA) said"
"Surely you will fight the jews. and surely you will kill them. And on that day even the stones will speak to muslims that O Muslim !! There's a jew hiding Behind Me. So come and Kill Him'
(sahih Bukhari)
If We study the history of Jews you will Come to know that they are waiting for their MESSAIH (to be Sent by ALLAH to them) who will liberate the Israel for them and will make them rule the world. But the True MESSIAH is Hazrat ISA (AS) who will return on this world for Muslims . So their MESSIAH According To Holy Prophet (SA) is DAJJAL or the FALSE MESSIAH...
They are doing all this to gain power so that their FALSE MESSIAH may come and rule...
The Israelis started to come to the Holy Land (Jerusalem) in early 1900s.... Then they create the State of Israel in 1948 ..... Now they are making steps to rule the world .. they have completed almost 60% of their 3rd objective, and when they will achieve it , DAJJAL WILL EMERGE and will say that he is the MESSIAH.
US is the Biggest supporter of Israel and have given it great weapons so that it may rule the world as the SUPER POWER .. And undoubtedly now its a very big power and can deal with the Middle east alone now..
Brothers and sisters ask any Islamic Scholar who have studied the Signs of Emergence of Imam al Mahdi , Dajjal and Hazrat Isa (SA) in detail.. He will tell you that WE ARE LIVING IN THE AGE OF DAJJAL.....
If you don't agree with me search on net the Lectures of late Dr Israr Ahmed (may Allah bless his Soul) and Maulana Imran Hosein (he is Sunni)......
You can see the lecture on Dajjal by Sheikh Imran Hosein at the following link:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2113563453256462293#
Believe me.. US will do nothing but say that we will investigate.... And after that they will support the Israelis and will support their claim that it was a self defense......
