Per Paul R earlier, the 'they shot first we were only defending ourselves' refrain begins. This from Norway
Quote:Israel claims the activists on board the convoy shot first, and that its soldiers — who stormed the convoy, shot and killed as many as 20 persons and wounded 30 more –found weapons.Also some good points from Craig Murray who, as former head of the FCO Maritime section, knows a thing or two about international maritime law:
Quote:Having seen so many illegal wars lately, you might be interested to know that in international law Turkey could now with perfect legality declare itself to be at war with Israel. I do not advocate that, but after the fake justification over Iraq I thought you might be interested to see what a genuine causus belli looks like.
