the wrong end of the telescope

I'm not making any kind of claim about the Israeli army here; I'm perfectly aware that we don't know everything yet. But the fact remains that these were aid ships and they were boarded on international waters--this has been verified and is not something Israel is contesting, instead, they are saying they extended their security zones 68 miles into international waters--according to international maritime law, that is not allowed. International waters are free for a reason, the only exception to this are pirates (which these ships were not), and slavers, and in one particular case a torturer was apprehended. The seas are to be free.
