This is why there will be no bloodshed on board the MV Rachel Corrie!

Unlike the blood already spilled by the Israelis from Rachel Corrie, the ship being named after the American peace activist and witness crushed to death in 2003 by an Israeli armoured caterpillar as she tried to protect Palestinian families from illegal Israeli destruction of their homes.

Turkish IHH has terrorist links ? Whereas Israel is just a terrorist state, plain and simple.

Rationality seems to defeat you. This was precisely why a peace operation was set into place. Observed by all to date ... except the Turks!

Military interceptions in International Waters are covered within the Geneva Conventions. There is nothing that prohibits Military Operations that intercept ships in International Waters as long as the Geneva Convention is followed.

Since there is legislation for such attacks, is there a limit to the number of civilians allowed to be killed by using dis-proportionate force?

Yes, the Geneva Convention offers protection to those detained as a result of Military Operations. It is prohibited to kill any detainees.

However, the Geneva Convention does not prohibit self defense or any loss of life as a result of.

Oh good. The activists are covered then, but they still died by the seafaring Azraili pirates.

Deniz, we have already been through this. Maritime Piracy Laws do not apply since this was an IDF Military Operation which the Israelis deemed necessary dut to Turkish MIT terrorist activity.

The Geneve Convention is what you should be looking at!

Paphitis,
Give it a rest. This stuff your posting about it not being piracy is simply moronic.

O my god they were NEARLY thrown over board and 2 flung on the deck In the meantime idf who are not being nearly flung in the see for a good wash are shooting a camera man at point blank range in the head , Not in the leg or in the chest . but in the head for the sole purpose of a kill ,,this was not to control... this was murder full stop by the idf and they should stand trial for it ,,, but we all know they will not paphitis you make me sick to think that there are poeple like you on this planet,,,, ps you did lose your pullover when you were a lad didnt you

Yeh mate!

If someone was coming at me with a knife in a confined space, whilst my mates are being beaten to death, I would probably do the same. One IDF even had his gone taken away from him.

Anybody remember the Monty Python sketch "how to defend yourself from a man armed with a piece of fresh fruit ......passion fruit .... logan berries ....a banana" ?

CopperLine is sure showing his colours tonight!

Bloody Turk!

Whatever the Israelis have done, the Turks have surpassed a million (or two) fold. Just ask the Greeks, the Armenians, the Cypriots, the Kurds etc ...

Turkish IHH has terrorist links!

Sure! And here's all the supporting evidence...

After Israel’s Attack on Aid Ship, Turkey Spun as Villain

[i]Read that again: protesting in favor of the killings. Jingoism is alive and well in Israel, and while it has ceased to become surprising when Israelis rally in favor of aggressive wars, few really anticipated the breadth of Israeli support for a military attack on a civilian aid ship and the killing of large numbers of civilian aid workers.[/

GR even though I do not agree for you hunger for an armed conflict in our country, I have to say that you are one of the shinning lights that keeps my fadding belief alve that we can all unity under a single Cypriot identity, the mainreason for this is the fact that you stay strong to your beliefs and stand up for the wronged party, I salute you. And thank you for giving me the faith that maybe we can one day reunite a faith that poster such as oracle et al so quicky deminish.

May she rest in peace!

And this is why the real peace activists on board the MV Rachel Corrie will not bring dishonour to the Ship's namesake! If they are boarded, the peace activists have vowed to behave like humans and not like Turkish MIT or wannabe martyrs!

How dare Turkey make life difficult for those who have their heart in the right place and are genuinely interested in world peace and delivering aid to the Palestinian civilians and not Hamas.
