It was poor grammar on my part, I said they where unarmed people on the boat, attacking the IDF (who had guns). You see how I made the implication the IDF had guns, NOT the people on the boat.
Ok, NOW I see. Thank you.

God forbid they actually NOT attack the IDF boarding their boat for a search for weapons. Guess what would have saved the lives of those that died, NOT attacking first. Boarding a boat, searching a car, is not an act of agression. Because everybody loves soldiers storming your quarters shoving guns in everyone's faces, and seizing control of the ship.

I take it "international waters" means nothing to you?
And the attackers didn't go after the boats, they went after the IDF troops who were on the boat. And how do you propose unarmed humanitarian workers fight a gunship, or an armed naval vessel? Throw deck chairs at it?

And you think the people on the flotila were "protecting" themselves? The people on the flotilla knew they were breaking the law, so instead of compling with the orders to halt and be searched, they attacked the IDF. What is your definition of "the law"? If you mean international law - it was the Israelis breaking it.

If you mean Israeli law, then it is irrelevant. Israeli law doesn't mean jackshit. Anymore than Hitler's laws, or Saddam Hussein's laws.

The women and children were? The ones that were in that town the entire time were breaking the law? Yup. Saddam wrote the laws. And his laws said they were bad. So killing them was okay.

Responded by killing people with WMDs that weren't at the civil unrest. So killing a pregnant woman who wasn't throwing rocks is okay - but gassing a person who wasn't directly involved in the rebellion is bad?

Earlier, you claimed all sins are equal. So by your argument, the Israelis and Saddam are both equally guilty.

Using conventional weapons to fire upon those threatening their lives and only killing the people in the protest. Saddam only killed the people in the rebellious city.

Massive differences in the form of responses. Massive differences in the form of the threats.

You still don't get that you are lying to try to smear someone. You are dodging the actual conversation to try to throw a red herring and distract people that you are disengenous. So you deny that the Tea Party thinks the murder of American citizens in the flotilla is okay?
