Was that Qaato or Bolat.

Well in that case, being respectful to people providing you with service doesnt hurt but you know in Naija you have to let people know you are the first child to the driver of the PA to the local govermenment Chairman

So you are taking an excursion from the point you raised. I will remind you; it was the legality of the Gaza blockade based on the sham example of the Cuban missiles crisis as precedence.
Can you pls quote where I mentioned Cuban crises on this thread?

Or did you see it just the way u saw activist waving white flags?

you say Islrael fired on them first despite clear evidence to the contrary so i ask you:what would Israel stand to gain from shooting unarmed people and why did they stop at only nine?
Thats the first time I am seeing people fired at still gathered on decks. Doesnt it defy common sense that people would gather when fired at?

Whereas, we are talking about homemade rockets that Gazans use to defend themselves and which are not affected by the blockade
Do home made rockets kill? Do you know most weapons used by terrorist are home made? Can you tell us the number of casualties from these 'home made toys"

Some interesting facts.

Germany's average age is 24.95. One of the youngest in the tournament along with countries like Cameroon, North Korea and Chile.

Germany, Italy and England are the only three squads whose players all play in their respective domestic leagues.

On the other hand, Nigeria is the only team which has no player playing in its domestic league.

How come you and your folks dont have doubts about videos posted on Aljazeera?

How come you and your people cant still provide evidence where the activists were waving white flags?

Did the activists know Israel stance on breaking the blockade before embarked on the journey?

Sage,

You just wrote 10 instances of discrimination and injustice in Nigeria, me I can write 10,000 in Lagos and South West alone.

For Bakkasi substtute OPC,

Like I said, I have never seen anywhere in the West where Police shoot someone for refusing him a N20 bribe in public glare.

Where a lady was striped naked for daring to be in traffic with a Navy Admiral.

Where houses were burnt and people killed for belonging to a different religion or Political party

FACTS:

1-   Israel attacked the vessels in the international waters, 90 miles away of Israeli water.
On International waters on the way to Gaza despite the Israeli blockade

2-   The Peace Activists Provokes were not armed nor enemies of Israel. They just wanted to help the Civilians in Gaza, carrying medical and educational materials.
They were not armed but were seen wielding iron rods and beating Israeli soldiers. I guess that shows us the kind of help they wanted to render to the Gazans.
How come this so called peace activists were seen chanting anti-Israeli songs even before they boarded the ship? They already chose their side which was anti Israel and they were treated as such

3-   The international Law does not allow Israel even of searching the ships without permission by the United Nations.
Is this a UN ship? This is a ship sponsored by groups who are against Israel


4-   There was common understanding amongst the activists that Israel would lead them by force to Ashdod and transfer the materials to Gaza, not killing them and confiscating the materials.
Ok there was common understanding that Israel would lead them to Ashdod, So when Israeli commandoes landed on the ship, why did the activists attack them?


5- Israeli forces did not practice any of the international rules (the Law of the Sea Convention) to search or control vessels in international waters; vocal warning by radio, waning bullets … etc
I saw videos where Israel issued vocal warning to the ship. Before they took off, Israel already warned them about the consequences, but they chose to find out the consequences for themselves.

6-   Israeli Forces opened fire on activists from beginning as soon as they stormed the ships killing many Peace Activists on spot.
Can you give us evidence? The evidence I saw showed the Israelis being attacked as soon as they landed on the ship. If Israel opened fire on them, How come they were on the deck? I dont think people would come to the deck in numbers if Israel actually opened fire first.

7-   Out of rage, some activists fought Israeli solders with bare hands to defense themselves.
Rage about what? You said it was common knowledge that Israeli soldiers would lead them to shore so what was the rage about?

Frings wanted a guaranteed shirt in Loews team and Loew told him NO. He got pissed.

Ballack is the leader and Captain of this young German team and this woulda been his last Mundial but for one ruffian with Ghanaian blood. KPB

Trochowshi might not even start. You should look out for Mesut Ozil, The best player at the last Euro U21, Also Marko Marin if Leow allows him to play.
I hope Toni Kroos also play because of his mastery of the game and dead ball delivery.

Even with 11 Wankott, do they stand any chance?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: discuss the World Cup Team Lists by dayokanu(m): 2:47pm On Jun 02, 2010
The German coach Joachim Loew had spats with Torsten Frings and Kevin Kuranyi and did not even invite them

Injuries decided the rest of the squad.

Michael Ballack, Simon Rolfes, Rene Adler, Christian Traesch all got injured, Robert Enke died so the squad was basically the U21 team.

Among the sure starters only Lahm-26, Schweinsteiger-25 and Mertersacker are over 25yrs,

Klose is off form and not sure of starting. In the squad 3 players are over 30 i.e Klose, Friedrich and the 3rd keeper Butt

You mean the commandoes should rush to shore to grab tear gas to deal with the violent activists

i don't think being hit with metal bars and being thrown off the ship justifies opening fire on civilians with live rounds
Did the civilians notice that the commandoes were armed? WHen u attack an armed man what do you expect? Him to rub your head?

Basic rule is never argue with an armed man, but they even went and clubbed them

Beaf,

I dont understand why the "peaceful activists' where dancing and chanting anti Israeli songs and stuff just before they boarded the ship. Maybe you can explain whats going on with the peaceful activists
Foreign Affairs › Re: Israel Fires On Unarmed Aid Convoy. Many Dead! by dayokanu(m): 10:30pm On Jun 01, 2010
The UN Charter on the Law of the Sea says only if a vessel is suspected to be transporting weapons, or weapons of mass destruction, can it be boarded in international waters. Otherwise the permission of the ship's flag carrying nation must be sought.


The charter allows for naval blockades, but the effect of the blockade on civilians must be proportionate to the effect on the military element for the blockade to be legally enforceable.

A ship trying to breach a blockade can be boarded and force may be used to stop it as long as it is "necessary and proportionate".
The Israeli Defense Forces say soldiers acted in self-defence.

An investigation, either by the UN or by the ship's flag-carrier Turkey, is required to find if the use of force was proportionate to a claim of self defence.

For those who asked what the link between the flotilla and Hamas was

The Israeli government has accused the activists of links to Islamist groups.

Video has emerged showing some on board the aid ship shouting anti-Jewish and radical Islamist slogans as they prepared to sail to Gaza last Friday.

The pictures, from Arabic TV, showed the campaigners in a jubilant mood. One said she was determined either to get to Gaza or to die a martyr.
