Culprit visits the ground zero 9/11

Breaking news! News on the first page that Obama and Bush together for the first at 9/11 ceremony. But I bet that souls of those who are now gone far away from us must be crying in pain because the culprit was standing right in front of them, and they couldn't do anything. While some dumb heads blaming poor people in caves of Afghanistan; Bush the undoubted culprit and planner of 9/11 visits the ground zero, what a shame, what a disgrace to those who died
Make a move, demand a new, free and fair investigation for 9/11 rather than blaming poor people for your government's inside job.
Rest in peace.

Turkey vs. Israel: What Next?

As you all must have heard the statements from the head of the states of both countries, Turkey has threatened Israel about challenging its Gaza Blockade in International Court of Justice. Turkey has also threatened Israel that it will send its navy to the sea, and if needed, it will be seen doing some action. A Turkish official in an interview to its national news paper stated that 'Turkish navy will strengthen presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to stop Israeli 'bullying.'

Things went wrong when nine Turks were killed in an Israeli navy attack on unarmed civilians in a ship (Freedom Flotilla) heading towards Gaza-Palestine. Things were calm until another announcement came up from Turkish Official '' Turkey will send its navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza'

Where would things go if the relationship between both the countries remains strained? Will it lead to a military operation or things will settle down like before when the rift between Israel and Turkey was solely a diplomatic one with strong rhetoric, but no real action was taken on either side or standing face to face against Israel might give other countries of the region a chance to do same?

Palmer report - Freedom Flotilla

One of the main conclusions of the UN Palmer report is that the Israels naval blockade of Gaza and its enforcement is by international law.
One of the mantra's of the anti-Israel protesters is that Israel's actions to defend itself are against international law. Likewise, when the Flotilla was discussed on this forum, many farmers showed their severe bigotry against opinions that Israel acted according to international law. Many times they do not know what they talk about and hope that repeating their mantra's enough times mixed with bigotry will give them their racists goals.
Israel does get criticized for using excessive force:
ii. The fundamental principle of the freedom of navigation on the high seas is subject to only certain limited exceptions under international law. Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.
iv. Although people are entitled to express their political views, the flotilla acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade.
vi. Israel’s decision to board the vessels with such substantial force at a great distance from the blockade zone and with no final warning immediately before the boarding was excessive and unreasonable
vii. Israeli Defense Forces personnel faced significant, organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers when they boarded the Mavi Marmara requiring them to use force for their own protection. Three soldiers were captured, mistreated, and placed at risk by those passengers. Several others were wounded.
