Dead Ball specialist, how old are you? Don't you realise just how unfashionable it is support Israel? If you think Israel have the right to protect themselves, keep it to yourself!! Just because all the countries surrounding them ganged up, tried to launch surprise attacks on a national holiday (and lost big time), this doesn't give them the right to be nervous.
I think the USA are totally correct to try keep some control over Israel by funding them because if they didn't, Israel would start waring with everyone round about them. Why are these ships going to Gaza when they know fine well? Of course the commandos are going to go aboard! British, German, Dutch, American, french, Italian and South African commandos board suspicious ships of the coast of africa everyday without incident. Probably because these ships aren't full of Jihadists with a hatred for Jews. Does anyone believe that the IDF thinks they could attack a ship and no one would notice? I'm sure they would have wanted to avoid it. They were attacked for the trillionth time in their history and reacted.
Once Hamas are removed from power (which they gained by violence), then Israel can negotiate, and blockades can be lifted. Trying to ignore blockades, but going tooled up just incase gets no one nowhere.
