What happened on the ships is the least of Israel's recent violations of international law.

So international law no longer applies and the host country can never ever stop boats off our coast? The drug dealers would love that shit.

You say she was unarmed, I saw she was driving a two thousand pound guided missile that she intentionally used to assault a law enforcement officer investigating a crime. He had the right to defend himself.
You say they were "innocent civilians" and "aid workers" and I say there were twenty young men beating the crap out of people with lead pipes. Not sure what planet you live on, but if twenty men with lead pipes start beating the shit out of people at the local mall someone is going to shot.

I never said Israel is innocent. They aren't. But they do have the legal right to stop any ship off their coast, just like any other country has.

Why not?
In the United States, the US Navy is not tasked with enforcing US law and is in fact restricted from it. However, this is one of the reasons we have the Coast Guard. At the same time, all US Navy warships patrolling the US coast has a number of Coast Guard members on board just for their very reason.
I don't know what the laws are with Israel and it's maritime law enforcement.
At the end of the, it's international law for any host country to be able to stop any ship off it's coast for any reason. Everyone is so stunned that this is allowed to happen but it's simple law enforcement.
