If my understanding of the story is correct, then it could be classified as an act of terrorism since it sounds like civilians have been targeted. The Israelis have already claimed they were attacked first, which I find hard to believe.

I could be wrong, though.

Peace

Yes, it's a lie of course. How can these people attack the Israeli Army (by foods ?). And why should they attack Israel ? As I know, they were avoiding the israeli soldiers as possible as they can.

just for once will you zionists accept that the IDF are terrorists, with no ifs and no buts? they are an internationally recognised and supported terrorist group why can't you accept that?

this time the civilians were in the middle of an ocean surrounded by warships, why would anyone risk carrying weapons knowing that zionazi's will look for the smallest excuse to massacre them all?

Israeli forces attack aid Gaza aid flotilla, kill activists

Israeli commandos on Monday stormed six ships carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on an aid mission to the blockaded Gaza Strip, killing as many as 19 people and wounding dozens after encountering unexpected resistance as the forces boarded the vessels.

Israel's Channel 10 TV said 19 passengers were killed and 36 wounded when Israeli commandos stormed ships carrying Palestinian activists and aid to the besieged Gaza Strip on Monday.

According to the private channel, Israeli marine commandos had opened fire after being attacked with axes and knives by a number of the passengers on board the aid ships, the television said, without giving the source of its information.

It was not clear whether the clashes were taking place on just one of the six boats making up the aid convoy, and the Israeli army had no immediate comment on the incident.

Shortly afterwards, the Israeli military censor ordered a block on all information regarding those injured or killed during the storming of the ship.

The attack on the flotilla, which included a Turkish-flagged vessel and Turkish crew, may widen a rift between the two countries dating back to Israel’s three-week military offensive on the Gaza strip in 2008. The two countries have a military cooperation accord, but Turkey refused to invite Israel jets to participate in exercises last year.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli raid, saying it may permanently damage relations.

“By targeting innocent civilians, Israel has once again showed completely clearly that it counts human life and peace-making initiatives as nothing,” according to the ministry’s e-mail statement Monday morning. “This regrettable act, carried out in international waters in serious violation of international law, may cause damage to our relations that will be impossible to repair.

“Israel will have to bear the consequences of this behavior that breaches international law,” the Turkish statement said. “Whatever the justification, it is impossible to accept such actions against civilians engaged in peace-making activities.”

News channels say Turkish police have blocked dozens of stone-throwing protesters who tried to storm the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul following reports of the Israeli attack on the Gaza-bound aid ships in international waters.

Broadcasters CNNTürk and NTV showed dozens of angry protesters scuffling with Turkish police Monday. Murat Mercan, a lawmaker from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party, said he believed Israel is "engaged in activity that will extremely hurt its image." Protesters also gathered outside the Israeli ambassador's residence in the Turkish capital. Israel denied its forces attacked the boats but said they would keep them away from Gaza.

Hamas on Monday urged Arabs and Muslims to "rise up" in front of Israeli embassies across the globe in protest against Israel's deadly raid on a fleet of aid ships destined for the Gaza Strip. "We call on all Arabs and Muslims to rise up in front of Zionist embassies across the whole world," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, using the Arabic word “intifada.” The Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya slammed the "ugly attack" in a statement in which he called for "the United Nations to protect the activists" on board the boats.

Israel on Monday expressed "sorrow" for those killed when Israeli navy seals stormed the aid convoy, an Israeli Cabinet minister said.

"I can only express my sorrow over all the deaths," Industry and Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told army radio by phone from Doha where he is attending the World Economic Forum.

Turkey withdraws envoy to Israel, calls urgent UN meeting, deputy PM says

Turkey's deputy prime minister said Turkey was withdrawing its ambassador to Israel, canceling three joint military exercises and calling on the U.N. Security Council to meet urgently over Israeli action against Gaza aid ships.

Bülent Arınç said Turkey was withdrawing its ambassador on Monday, saying that Israel's actions were equal to "piracy," The Associated Press reported.

Israeli commandos raided parts of the flotilla early Monday morning, killing at least 10 passengers. Arınç said about 400 out of 581 passengers on the main aid ship, the Mavi Marmara, are Turks.

"Not only Turkish citizens but the whole world will condemn Israel's bloody attack on peace and humanitarian values," Arınç said in televised remarks Monday.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu called on the U.N. Security Council for an urgent meeting.

Arınç also said Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gönül called Ehud Barak, his Israeli counterpart, and listed the following demands:

- Security and repatriation of Turkish citizens

- Treatment for the wounded

- Return of the ships

"We want to treat the wounded in Turkey and emergency helicopters are ready for the task," Arınç said. "Israel's assault is a sort of piracy in the open sea. Israel should lift the embargo and deliver the aid to the Palestinian people."

Thats cause Hosni Mubarak(La'natullahi alayk) is a hungry dog of the western governments. Where are all the Israel lovers?? I guess they have no excuse to back Israel this time, that is why they are hiding themselves.

May Allah send disasters to Israel like the disasters of Aad and Nooh. may Allah give severe punishment to the hypocrites who keep their mouth shut. Oh Allah take care of these Pigs and Monkeys who kill your slaves and mock at your religion..‘O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O possessor of Majesty and Honor!’ Laa Illaha Illa anta subhaanak inna kunna mina atthalimeen. Oh Allah unite the muslims and join our hearts on one belief. oh Allah send the khalifah to this ummah, which is in need of justice.

^ Aameen ! May Allah make the death of Israel near and give palestinians it's freedom, they suffered for long time without support from others

they are all filthy zionist kaffirs, they will be humiliated in jahanum, May Allah torment them in the deepest parts of hell

so far they're defending their terrorism by saying:
- the people attacked were extremists (probably cause they had beards)
- they had weapons (probably kitchen knives or broomsticks)
- they were acting violent (probably begging for their lives)

What can i say that hasn't been said before?
