What Israel did took place in International waters and not in Israeli waters. So it is an act of piracy. You cannot take law into your hands in international waters. Secondly, did the so-called Islamic terrorists board the Israeli helicopters or did the Israeli troops board the ships that were in international waters.

These are questions that need resolution and not the propaganda or points of view that were spewed forth in the talk / video clip. Israel has the backing of the USA. Its only a matter of time that both will be cut to size not because of what the "Islamists" are doing but because of the misplaced priorities of both countries. I am no friend of the Al-Qaeda or the Ergun or the Stern gang or any other terrorist body. Ironically, from the way the world is structured, it is these bodies that achieve the most. Can you deny that?

The World is content to talk and we are told that talking a solution is a way out. What they don't consider is the people who are involved. They are more interested in ensuring the method works. Its a case where the means take priority over the end. How far will such a World order go?

What would have been the repurcusions had Egypt not opened the Rafah Border Gate to Gaza? Was it a spontaneous act of the Egyptian Government or was it a calculated act to ;lower the pressure that had built up within the area? Was it an Egyptian act or was it a foreign inspired dictation to act?

Wil Turkey restrict itself to words or will it take tangible steps? This is the way the world is structured. IT works to the benefit of a few. The rest are of no consequence or so they believe. Perhaps Turkey has also joined the club of castrati that make up the Islamic world.
