I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE FLOTILLA TRAGEDY AND READING SEVERAL RESPONSES…I DONT USUALLY COMMENT BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY THAT I MIGHT BE ONLINE FOREVER AND THAT WOULD GIVE ME A HEADACHE…I DO WANT TO COMMENT HOWEVER BECAUSE YOUR STATEMENT WAS UNIQUE IN CONTENT, COMPARING THE ARGUABLY PROVOCATIVE REFUSAL OF THE ACTIVISTS TO ABANDON THEIR PLANS TO A MOTORIST BREAKING TRAFFIC LAWS…MY ARGUMENT IS THAT BEING PROVOCATIVE IS NOT NECESSARILY A CRIME OR EVEN AN ACT THAT IS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS…IN THIS CASE, BEING THAT IDF SOLDIERS WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE LIVE AMMUNITION UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY (THEREFORE RENDERING THEIR OPERATION AN INITIALLY PEACEFUL ONE) AND THAT THE ACTIVISTS HAD MAKESHIFT WEAPONS AT BEST, I WOULDN’T SAY THAT THIS PROVOCATION WAS ESSENTIALLY DANGEROUS…IN COMPARISON, SPEEDING PUTS A DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND ANYONE IN THE VICINITY OF THEIR PATH IN DANGER OF BEING HURT…SAME GOES FOR RUNNING LIGHTS OR HAVING MUSIC TOO LOUD TO HEAR AN URGENT CAR HORN…POLICE (NOT MY FAVORITE PEOPLE I HAVE TO ADMIT) ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FUEL DRIVEN MACHINES, FOR EXAMPLE, AND SO THEY PULL THE DRIVER OVER…THE FLOTILLA WAS FOUND TO HAVE ONLY WHAT WAS CLAIMED TO BE THERE, WAS NOT SPEEDING OR EVEN CLOSE TO GAZA WHEN IT WAS BOARDED…YOUR ARGUMENT IS INHERENTLY FLAWED BECAUSE THE TWO CIRCUMSTANCES, WHILE BOTH PROVOKING A REACTION FROM SECURITY FORCES, ARE WILDLY DIFFERENT IN REGARDS TO THE FORCE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE SAFETY OF HUMAN LIFE…DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANY SOLDIERS WERE KILLED OR IF ONLY ACTIVISTS WERE SHOT IN THE HEAD?
