Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
McGrath, this is an emotive subject, and we are discussing violent death, but can we try to be rational and objective?
I would be happy to start discussing the Northern Ireland conflict again, but not on this thread.
Carol is a passionate supporter of tha Palestinian cause, and anti Israeli. That does not mean anti Semitic. I say she is not and distance myself from those who do.

Carol I think that indiscriminate shooting would result in many people with few wounds, not 8 people with many wounds.
I think we should give credit for the use of riot control weapons rather than lethal ones, imperfect though they are.
I note that on all previous and subsequent boardings, where the soldiers were not attacked, they did not fire their pistols.
I think the murder video was being dishonest in its captioning.
Also, the attempt to discredit the boat video was dishonest.

Do we have any more information on the 6 missing?
