Watching that video again I just think it's farcical to label these activists as innocent peaceful aid workers

The organisations involved are known to have links to Hamas, and to support suicide bombing. They were clearly looking for a conflict. You can see them storming the soldiers and seemingly beating and clubbing one, to what could have been death had not the Israelis opened fire.

It's somewhat scandalous that this is world news, whereas the American helicopter gunship massacred of a few people innocently walking the streets of Baghdad as put up by Ono last month gets not a mention in the world's news.

I remember a few years ago when Australia boarded and forced a boat of refugees heading for its waters to turn back as they dont want immigrants in their country.

Had their troops been met with this resistance they woull have opened fire too.
