Of course they have the right.
You do not have the right to tell others what they can (and cannot) do on their own property.
Blockade is to keep gaza from shipping in weapons to use against Israel.
So they're not allowed to have weapons to defend themselves?
Blockade was and still is legal under the UN.
No it is not! The
Palmer Report has been completely debunked. Why do you insist on using it?
When ships are that far north of gaza they are out of their designated zone.
Again, Israel has no jurisdiction in Gazan territorial waters.
Israel fired at the water to scare them back into their own zone.
Bullshit. They fired on them to harass and make their lives unbearable.
If gaza was not at war and actively firing on Israel, if they sat down and worked out some deal they would still only be limited to a small triangle of water. Egypt, Israel and Cyprus have everything around them. Gaza would have to have permission to enter their water to fish or travel.
They are not at war. Gaza is an area under the belligerent occupation of the IOF.
Other countries would shoot to kill not fire warning shots to scare the fishermen.
Other countries don't shoot at people FISHING!
Israel and gaza are in a state of war and gaza recently fired rocket at Israel.
Israel has broken the ceasefire agreement at least 94 times since August. One of them being the issue we are currently discussing.
How does not Israel know the "fishermen" were not trying to reach Israel for an attack or even capable of firing on the Israeli navy boat if it had gotten closer, like if Israel had tried to board the fishing boat?
Because they were
FISHING!
Crossing the water like illegally entering Israel or shooting at Israel are acts of war.
They weren't in Israel,
they were FISHING!
If I knew you were trying to kill me, I would not want you trespassing on my territory.
That still doesn't give you the right to tell me what to do on my own property. And playing into your metaphor, if I was trying to kill you, it would be for a reason. And that reason is because you murdered my family and took my property (figuratively speaking).
Israel scared them off, that was it's intent. It could have just blown the boat out of the water.
I don't see
FISHING as being a threat to Israeli national security.
PS Gaza is not occupied. Parts of the WB are still under Israeli control. Israel left gaza.
No, Israel did not leave Gaza. If they did, why can't Gazan's leave?
and yes gaza and Israel are still in a state of war.
No they are not. You are not at war with a territory you occupy.
Gaza fired on Israel after months of it being quiet.
It wasn't quiet. Israel broke the ceasefire at least 94 times since August.
Gaza has not been willing to sit down and make a peace deal with Israel, it declares war in words, acts of violence and rocket attacks. There is not peace............yet.
As long as the occupation and blockade continue, there's nothing to talk about.
