World leaders and the international community once again voiced their criticism and condemnations over Israel's deadly commando raid on ships taking humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. All the media throughout the world reported the sad tragedy but would it merely remain hollow condemnations with no actions being taken against Israel for its blatant disregard for international laws. No argument whatsoever provided by Israel would provide justification for such brutality to unarmed person or non-combatants. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to have said that the commandos who raided a Gaza aid flotilla, killing nine and injuring dozens of others, were under attack and acting in self defense. What self defense are they talking about when it was them that boarded and carried the raid on the ships.The attack has happened in international waters, 75 miles off the coast of Israel, in direct violation of international law. The flotilla was not even in Israel’s waters. So under which particular section of the international law does Israel applies to justify their actions?

Looking back to the past, one would not be surprised of Israel’s actions. There were merely finding an excuse to divert the world attention from continuously pursuing the agenda of peace talks to find a lasting solution to the Middle East crisis. The earlier agreement to convene proximity talks will no longer be a priority and remains shelved to a later date. This is typical of Israel and the international community should be fully cognizant of this. But will the world allows itself to be continuously hoodwinked by Israel.
Lets us see what the Americans have to say about this latest human tragedy??? Would the Americans, under the leadership of President Obama, continues to protect Israel's punitive actions ????
