Israel: are we really surprised?

The latest murderous outrage committed by Israeli commando forces attacking a civilian aid flotilla bound for Gaza should be seen exactly for what it is – PAR FOR THE Israeli criminal COURSE!

Have we forgotten so soon the horrors committed by Israel during the Gaza conflict? The IDF intentionally targeted UN ‘safe havens’ that had given refuge to women and children, killing hundreds! Israel’s excuse for the targeted artillery attacks (massacres) on UN safe havens was that IDF commanders claimed to have received fire from ‘around the areas’ targeted.

No doubt Israel will attempt to portray the civilians on the flotilla as terrorists, a pathetic inversion of the plain facts! Defending against an invasive attack in international waters is a justified legal act under international maritime law, yet at least nine civilians were murdered and many more wounded by fully armed Israeli commandos. Civilised nations throughout the world are appalled and have officially expressed their condemnation at Israel's action; America, unsurprisingly, has not condemned Israel's action -- we should not forget that the previous aggressive attack on Gaza by the IDF was sanctioned by the, 'give war a chance,' Bush regime!

The civilians on these vessels could be seen from satellite video evidence grabbing any object they could find to defend themselves from attack by FULLY ARMED Israeli naval commandos boarding from helicopters. Who are the 'TERRORISTS' in this instance, civilians defending themselves from fully armed naval commandos illegally boarding their vessels in international waters or armed Israeli military pirates/personnel?

Israel, with US approval, will no doubt attempt the usual INVERSION OF THE FACTS in the media by accusing the VICTIM – a very tired trick these days. However, I would think this latest GROSS attack is one too many for the world to tolerate; the facts speak for themselves. Both the USA and Israel are boxing themselves into a very unpopular corner; each dragging the other down into the pit -- the two leading civilian killing nations on the planet!

Needless to say, the completely BIASED Hague, other puppet courts and the useless UN, will do what they always do, COMPLY with AMERICAN wishes. But this time, gentlemen, ALL Europe hangs by a thread and the Eastern superpowers are gathering momentum for the inevitable confrontation in the very near future!

It will pan out something like this, after a few initial skirmishes; the WORLD versus the criminal filth that is ISRAEL/AMERICA – a fitting final end to two criminal nations that have poisoned PEACE for so long, ruined the global economy and polluted, raped and pillaged the planet – GOOD fuckin’ RIDDANCE!

As for the PEACE-loving, FREE world, WE HAVE WORK TO DO!
