Reply #38: The Brits were in Iranian waters

[Chulanowa]

Had the ships been in Israeli waters, I wouldn't question the boarding, and would agree that the people on board brought the fire on themselves by assaulting the soldiers.

However, it was outside Israel waters.

Say, come to think of it, how can Israel control the waters off the coast of Gaza, as well as all of Gaza's borders, and still claim there is no occupation? I mean if you exercise total control over the territory of another nation (or sub-nation, or whatever the fuck it is) then that's pretty much defined as an occupation, isn't it?
