so obviously the whole world is basically going on about the whole Israel-flotilla issue. everybody's taking sides which i find really crappy. firstly, i know this is a really shitty thing to say but i think the Israeli soldiers had the right to try and stop the flotilla because they DID repeatedly warn them not to enter the area. please NOTE that by saying this, i am in no way condoning what they have done. i don't think they should've opened fire regardless. there's a video that has been surfacing of an Israeli soldie warning Mavi Marmara to dock at a neighbouring harbour. the dude goes on to say that Israel will allow the shipment of the aid to Gaza through land under the activists observation. i don't think this actually helps the Israelis case in any way because honestly what if the video was taken AFTER the attacks? sure the date on the video is legit but still, who knows?
then there's the whole talk about how the Israeli is claiming that the activists attacked them first so they opened fire yada yada and then there're the activists who say that the minute the soldies boarded the ship they opened fire. so who do we believe? obviously the media is biased. it's a tad annoying actually. sort of the only article that's been sort of unbiased, in my opinion, is from BBC News. i personally feel there's more to the story. the only thing i know right now is:
1. i still don't know which story to fully believe.
2. i think the Israeli army shouldn't have opened fire or killed anybody.
3. the people who are linking this to religion or race are a bit daft if you ask me.
seriously. the people who are linking this to religion and are therefore feeling "offended" and taking this personally are pissing me off. this has NOTHING whatsoever to do with religion or race. there were people from 30 or more different countries which definitely proves that they probably didn't share ONE religion and are not of ONE race. except the human race of course. it's a bit frustrating if you ask me. just because i'm a christian, does not mean i condone what Israel has done. the same way most Muslims probably don't condone what the Muslim terrorists and extremists do, suicide bombing whilst killing dozens of innocent people and all. i don't think all the Jews condone or support it either. a person/nation's act does not reflect the religion as a whole. so WHY in the world are people linking this to religion or race?! on another note though, everything that's been happening right now with Israel and everything breaks my heart in more ways than one.
this is crappy. i need to discuss/argue about this with someone. i feel a bit repressed right now. oh well. time for physiology. i still feel i have so much more to say but i don't want to say anything without being fully informed of the whole situation. ok then. bye.
