Gaza Update (6 p.m. Israel; 11 a.m. Eastern US): Aid Ship Rammed by Israeli Patrol Boat

Later update: US Says "Go, Israel, Go" (A Bit Longer)

From CNN:

An Israeli patrol boat struck a boat carrying medical volunteers and supplies to Gaza early Tuesday as it attempted to intercept the vessel in the Mediterranean Sea.

Wow. Could the crew of this relief boat be any dumber? They said that they were told by an Israeli military blockade not to enter because it was a closed military zone.....yet they then tried to out maneuver the military vessels. They are lucky that they were just rammed. they could have blown the boat out of the water if they wanted. If you are blatantly disobeying warnings and military orders then you're going to get jacked up. Dumb.

So a media opportunity stunt boat with a whacked-out ex-congresswoman who hates Israel was rammed by an Israeli warship in a war zone after refusing to accept directions. What is wrong here? McKinney, you are lucky they didn't sink your boat. Could have been palestinian terrorists smuggling in some more of them rockets that everyone seems to want to ignore. By they way, why are you not just as indignant about all those rockets being fired by Hamas terrorists at Israeli population centers, schools and where ever children congregate?

Very typical of Israel to ram/destroy/kill even the relief vessels thats delievering food and meds to children and the sick......shame on America for supporting such terrorist country....SHAME ON AMERICA!!! More blame goes to America than to Israel...Its not unusual for Israel to do reckless evil. But its unusual for America to be this blind and support a terrorist country when America claims to be a victim of terrorism..........what a [MESSED] UP WORLD!!!

Let's be clear, if you are really dumb you go on a sightseeing tour to Gaza right now. You never see those human rights activists sailing to Ashdot port in southern Israel to give the people humanitarian aid, you get my point.
All of those left hanging pacifists will never say anything bad about Hamas, Hezbulah and the rest of those [groups].
