    Dimitri, we've been over this, soldiers are not expected to wait for orders while their lives are in immediate danger. They are expected to defend themselves. These guys were sent out with orders to take over these six ships and steer them to port. They took over five of the ships peacefully, but on the sixth ship they were violently attacked, at which point they defended themselves. I don't see how any of this is logically inconsistent.

    By the way, I just spoke with my cousin, who is in an elite Israeli special forces unit (not the one involved in this ship thing). Apparently the Israeli naval commandos are furious at the government because they feel that they were put into an impossible situation without the proper intelligence or equipment, and they are pushing hard for an investigation to determine who should shoulder the consequences.

    In this 'ship thing' case, if their lives are in immediate danger (which is debatable), of course they don't wait for orders, but they know what orders are - they are trained elite force soldiers. Usually the soldiers would abide by the rules of engagement. Doesn't seem they think these rules of engagement apply to them.

    that's convenient for you isn't it ... so, i can show a video of someone assaulting an elderly lady but if i flash something like 9/11 was orchestrated by mossad - you will ignore it completely?

    It would be funny if not so sad. Bury your head in the sand, ignore what the rest of the world sees. Concentrate on the video, not comments by individuals.

    Out of 100 U.S senators, 87 of them signed a petition supporting Israel in the Flotilla incident.

    this is hardly a big surprise. these are the same senators who voted to condemn Goldstone's UN investigation on Israels war crimes and violations of international law. this just makes Americans look like fools once again to the rest of the world.

    Netanyahu will be laughing his ass off. the senate is full of such dumb asses. seriously. all this letter proves, is that the US Congress is another Israeli occupied territory. what's the deal America? when did you become so afraid?

    I applaud the 13 who did not sign.

    i find it mildly ironic that our government always talks about "freedom" and will go to great lengths such as war in countries like iraq and afghanistan to "deliver" such freedom, while there are 1.5 million people crying our for this freedom yet our lawmakers vote overwhelmingly in favor of the oppressors.... i guess the crime of murder is not so black and white. i never knew there were conditions on state sanctioned murder and crimes on the high seas..

    I figured that official Israeli video was fake the first time I saw it.

    Now I know it was fake. Thanks for posting.

    Still, the multi-million $$ Israeli spin machine succeeded at doing it's job of distorting the facts and casting doubt in the public mind about the nature of this latest massacre.
    I mean, how many of the mainstream media sources will analyse footage such as the above and take issue with the fact that most of the footage shot by the flotilla activists is still being held and kept hidden by the Israeli's?

    All we got was a one-sided view of what happened with a bunch of scrappy, dubious, and self-serving videos released by the Israeli's.
