    Easy for me to say, they should have kept rolling and forced the Israelis to get violent. I’m American, with a few reasons to fear these our fascists, made my choice. If it comes to it, I fight. Neither my government nor Israel has shown any quarter, no reason not to die with our boots on.

    tl;dr: They’re going to kill you anyway.

      Tell me you’ve never been on a sailing yacht on the open seas deciding whether you’re going to try and ram your way through some navy ships without telling me you’ve never been on a sailing yacht on the open seas deciding whether you’re going to try and ram your way through some navy ships

      Would be even funnier if they sent out a ship loaded with bombs in international waters and then detonate it when the Zionists put their nose where it doesn’t belong.

      It’s much more effective to do what they did than to intentionally instigate an attack. Don’t give Israel any leeway to say “Well we were justified because…”

        I agree mostly, in this case, because they have the media attention. If they didn’t then they aren’t protected by everyone watching, and also going down fighting would bring attention to the situation, which is beneficial.

        You know the nazis want you to do nothing, right?

        “No, nazis want me to attack them!”

        No, no they do not. They are cowards, only acting strong when they hugely outnumber everyone around them. But they don’t outnumber us. They only do, if you sit in your house and tell people to do the same thing.

          Then start assembling your army and go invade Israel.

          No? Right. The flotilla didn’t have the ability to muscle past the Israeli military; grassroots endeavours never will. The only way to win is to continue drawing attention to how awful they are until the people with real firepower do something.

          If that never happens, then the fascists in charge of Israel win. It sucks, but talking tough on the internet won’t change it. The Communists didn’t prevent the Nazis rise to power by brawling with them in the street either.

            In the meantime they amass more power and continue to commit murder. Nip that shit in the bud.
