I could not believe the news when I woke up this morning. Earlier this morning Israeli troops boarded the international aid flotilla to Gaza. So far it is reported 16 peace activists are dead. Even for Israeli this is a new low.
This action is in direct violation of international law. An unarmed ship attacked in international waters.
Many of the activists were Turkish, and the Turkish government have strongly condemned the attack, saying they:
"strongly condemn[ed] these inhumane practices of Israel"I would hope other governments will now not sit on the fence and strongly condemn the actions of Israel. If this was any other country there would be international outrage at a unarmed ship being attacked with its passengers being killed in international waters.
