Israeli navy commandos stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, which tried to breach an Israeli blockade in international waters in an attempt to deliver aid to the besieged Palestinian territory. Approximately, 19 people died in a clash which occurred when Israeli forces moved in to block the flotilla's passage.
There is no doubt that this is an act of violence and violation of international norms. There is no excuse for this. Such atrocities have been repeatedly committed as a part of the state sponsored terrorism. No country in the modern world should flout international conventions to suit its own needs.
Now ‘the international community’ and their ‘leaders’ are responding very carefully. We have never seen this much care and caution in coining the statements of reaction by the world leaders. Their end notes are same: we should wait until the truth comes out.
Isn’t it double standard, obviously? Can you imagine the outrage if this were Syria, or Saudi, or Iran attacking an Isreali flotilla? See how we all reacted when South Korea claimed their ship was sunk by the North Korean torpedos?
