Why should any free person comply with the dictating Israel's in International waters?
If even the
brainwashed sheep knows that this entire stunt was planned from beginning to end in order to instigate a response from Israel to vilify them.
Why did israel fall headlong into the trap, and vilified they are?

Because they had to check if the terrorist Gaza Hamas government were getting weapons from state sponsors of terrorism and/or their supports such as occurred in the Iran incident, where they intercepted advanced Iranian weaponary headed for Gaza.

Israel blockade of Gaza is legal UN review says - The Boston Globe

UNITED NATIONS - A UN review has found that Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza is legal and appropriate but that the way its forces boarded a Turkish-based flotilla trying to break that blockade 15 months ago, killing nine passengers, was excessive and unreasonable.

the report called the force “excessive and unreasonable,’’ saying the loss of life was unacceptable and the Israeli military’s later treatment of passengers was abusive.

The report assailed Israel for the way in which the nine were killed and others injured. “Forensic evidence showing that most of the deceased were shot multiple times, including in the back, or at close range has not been adequately accounted for in the material presented by Israel,’’ it says.

It's the UN what do you want. They will always side with the terrorists.

However, they said it was legal and appropriate.

I don't care about their critique.

Why should they comply? Because it's not their decision or their business as to why the blockade is there. What's so hard about simply complying with Israel in this case?
The other option is to not comply, but don't whine when your ship gets boarded, and don't whine when you get shot while trying to beat the soldiers.

International waters my ass. The boats were heading towards Gaza with the intention of violating the legal blockade. They planned on creating an incident by instigating the Israelis with their refusal to stop. It didn't work. Israel should torpedo them out of the water the next time.

Gaza flotilla activists were shot in head at close range
Israel was tonight under pressure to allow an independent inquiry into its assault on the Gaza aid flotilla after autopsy results on the bodies of those killed, obtained by the Guardian, revealed they were peppered with 9mm bullets, many fired at close range.

Nine Turkish men on board the Mavi Marmara were shot a total of 30 times and five were killed by gunshot wounds to the head, according to the vice-chairman of the Turkish council of forensic medicine, which carried out the autopsies for the Turkish ministry of justice today.

The results revealed that a 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bilgen, was shot four times in the temple, chest, hip and back. A 19-year-old, named as Fulkan Dogan, who also has US citizenship, was shot five times from less that 45cm, in the face, in the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back. Two other men were shot four times, and five of the victims were shot either in the back of the head or in the back, said Yalcin Buyuk, vice-chairman of the council of forensic medicine.

The findings emerged as more survivors gave their accounts of the raids. Ismail Patel, the chairman of Leicester-based pro-Palestinian group Friends of al-Aqsa, who returned to Britain today, told how he witnessed some of the fatal shootings and claimed that Israel had operated a "shoot to kill policy".

He calculated that during the bloodiest part of the assault, Israeli commandos shot one person every minute. One man was fatally shot in the back of the head just two feet in front him and another was shot once between the eyes. He added that as well as the fatally wounded, 48 others were suffering from gunshot wounds and six activists remained missing, suggesting the death toll may increase.
Gaza flotilla activists were shot in head at close range World news The Guardian

They probably shouldn't have attacked the Israeli soldiers and tried to kill them then,huh?

They were entitled to repel boarders.

Nope. They are required to stop and submit to inspection. Where do you get your mis-information?

Not in International waters per the Law of the Sea, in International Waters a Warship may "visit" (not illegally board a merchant ship flying under the flag of a different nation than the warship's) under certain conditions which did not exist in this case. Hostile boarding with weapons is not a "visit" and a merchant vessel's crew and passengers have a right to self-defense.


Article110

Right of visit

1. Except where acts of interference derive from powers conferred by treaty, a warship which encounters on the high seas a foreign ship, other than a ship entitled to complete immunity in accordance with articles 95 and 96, is not justified in boarding it unless there is reasonable ground for suspecting that:

(a) the ship is engaged in piracy;

(b) the ship is engaged in the slave trade;

(c) the ship is engaged in unauthorized broadcasting and the flag State of the warship has jurisdiction under article 109;

(d) the ship is without nationality; or

(e) though flying a foreign flag or refusing to show its flag, the ship is, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship.

NOT VALID as it does not mention gun running, smuggling or blockade busting, which is covered but you cherry pick so you don't have to include it

Why did israel fall headlong into the trap, and vilified they are?

Then next time they should just sink the vessels and be done with it. It was a legal request under international maritime law, and as soon as the vessels captain refused to comply he was in breach of the law. Now he should have his licence revoked and be banned from being in charge of anything bigger that a rubber ring

Which will mean even more Palestinian deaths when Israel respond with force.

WRONG


According to the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994:


SECTION V : NEUTRAL MERCHANT VESSELS AND CIVIL AIRCRAFT

Neutral merchant vessels

67. Merchant vessels flying the flag of neutral States may not be attacked unless they:

(a) are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture;

(b) engage in belligerent acts on behalf of the enemy;

(c) act as auxiliaries to the enemy s armed forces;

(d) are incorporated into or assist the enemy s intelligence system;

(e) sail under convoy of enemy warships or military aircraft; or

(f) otherwise make an effective contribution to the enemy s military action, e.g., by carrying military materials, and it is not feasible for the attacking forces to first place passengers and crew in a place of safety. Unless circumstances do not permit, they are to be given a warning, so that they can re-route, off-load, or take other precautions.
