palestine gets bombed on a daily basis , i don't see hamas searching israeli ships.
The difference is israel kills thousands of women and children with their bombs, and you can count on your hand how many terrorists rockets kill israeli's every year

the ships knew blocking humanitarian aid was illegal and the actions israel took were illegal, so they were doing everything legal by INTERNATIONAL law.

the blockade is illegal. if you intentionally stop an unarmed civilian aid convoy and slaughter it's occupants , you can expect to catch flak .

the video shows no handguns, it shows a guy with a pole doing something , an idf guy falling , people running everywhere thats about all i saw. Didn't see any injured idf , saw lots of dead and injured civilians, no weapons other than idf weapons. Haven't heard of any idf being shot .
If the police stopped a city bus to search for weapons and 1 guy had a handgun does that give the right for the police to open fire on the bus occupants who may have no affiliation or knowledge of the 1 guy with a gun ?

your right , regardless the answer isn't to slaughter innocent unarmed civilians delivering medical supplies.

international law says it's illegal, there isn't much to debate.

we do agree on one thing, it wasn't a very smart idea, desperate people are forced into desperate measures.
