No matter what they say it was in International waters and hence it was piracy. It's about time the UN enforced the countless International Laws that Israel have been breaking for decades, they can't just do what they like and paint themselves as the sole victims.

Now if those ships had been escorted in International Waters by a Turkish frigate then it would have made it very interesting as would Israel have fired on a Nato country ship?

It will be interesting to hear about the cargo manifest.

ISRAEL JUST MAKING IT EASIER FOR GUARDIAN READERS TO LOOK GOOD

ISRAEL'S attack on a Palestinian aid ship will make it easier for Guardian readers to sound as if they know what they are talking about, it was claimed last night.

Experts warned Tel Aviv that every time it launches a seemingly unprovoked or disproportionate attack it allows at least 10,000 cretins to say something at a dinner party that everyone then agrees with.

Dr Martin Bishop, of the Institute for Studies, said: "Benjamin Netanyahu has to realise that his aggressive stance towards Hamas and Hezbollah is playing into the hands of some of the worst people in the world.

"I simply cannot sit through another dinner party with some speccie [LIFTED] spouting off about Israel while all the single, attractive women around the table stare at him like he was Martin Luther King.

"Meanwhile I'm sitting there knowing it's actually a tad more complicated and that the Israelis are dealing with people who will not rest until it they've all been wiped from the face of the Earth and if it was us then we might just get a bit jumpy too, particularly if someone had tried to do it before.

"But if I come out and say that then this vegetarian ponce is going to accuse me of wanting to make a fancy cocktail with the blood of Palestinian babies and there goes any chance I may have of picking off the drunkest woman from the pack.

"If they could just protect their borders against exploding maniacs with a little more tact then that would help me enormously in my quest for a really good blow job."

But Julian Cook, a grade six Guardian reader from Highbury, said: "There's a fascinating piece by Jonathan Freedland which sums up my feelings exactly - and he's Jewish so that means I must be right. At least I think he's Jewish. He certainly looks like a Jew."

And Helen Archer, a social worker from Finsbury Park who keeps a photo of Polly Toynbee in her purse, added: "Israel are acting like Nazis - there, I said it."

Meanwhile, Mr Netanyahu has refused to apologise for the the attack and instead staged a press conference where he accused a two month old kitten of giving him a funny look, before tossing it casually under a passing steamroller.

Dr Bishop added: "Oh for [LIFTED]'s sake."

No matter what they say it was in International waters and hence it was piracy.

Depends. Was there a UN resolution preventing this ship from going to it's destination?........ No, then it IS legally piracy.

It would be funny if Israel tried to use UN resolutions in any argument about anything TBH.
