IDF: Global Jihad on flotilla
"According to the defense officials, the IDF has identified about 50 passengers on the ship who could have terrorist connections with global jihad-affiliated groups.
"During its searches of the Mavi Marmara on Tuesday, the military also discovered a cache of bulletproof vests and night-vision goggles, as well as gas masks. On Monday morning, at least nine foreign activists were killed during the navy’s takeover of the Mavi Marmara, which was trying to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
"The group of over 50 passengers with possible terror connections have refused to identify themselves and were not carrying passports. Many of them were carrying envelopes packed with thousands of dollars in cash."
This isn't an intellectual exercise with Israel. If they guess wrong they get annihilated. And we can thank the current administration in America for sowing the seeds of this conflict. The appeasement of Iran as well as the diplomatic cold shoulder toward Israel is perilously ill advised.
History has shown us again and again that appeasement never works. It only encourages tyrants to try stupid shit. There is going to be armed conflict between Israel and surrogates of Iran and Syria. If you don't think we're going to get drawn into that you are deluded.
