Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla, says Hamas

Anybody mind giving the legal precedent which allows Israel or any country to take over a ship in international waters?

Right how would you feel at night when you are most vulnerable a bunch of commandos come armed dropping in from helicopters? I'd feel like it was time for me to spring into action because those commandos are probably wanting to kill me and I won't let them do it without a fight.

The reason I called Israel a terrorist nation was cause Digsbe was so at ease just calling Palestine a terrorist nation. At least that was my impression.

I never said the Palestinians. I was talking about the PLO and Hamas along with other organizations that commit or support terrorism. I support a two state solution, but I also support Israeli security and I'm against Arab aggression. There are many crazy organizations and people who militantly oppose any kind of Jewish state in the Middle East, and these organizations (like Hamas, Hezbolah, and the PLO) deserve to be retaliated against and destroyed.

I thought Israel was not signed on the international waters agreement?
Besides, the ship's intention was decalred, the direction was Gaza and peaceful solutions were refused by its leaders.

You make absurd accusations as well.
 
. They IDF knew full well what was in those ships, since Custom's allowed the different ships to move out of port from the Al Jazeera news report.

The US Navy boards ships in international waters quite frequently and inspects for illicit drugs, counterfeit commercial goods, black-market weapons, nuclear proliferation materials, and human trafficking (slave ships). I think donsutherland1 covered immunity from boarding quite well in Post #58.
 
turns out Israel can have legal justification

The San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea was adopted in June 1994 after a series of round tables of naval and legal experts convened by the International Institute of Humanitarian Law. In paragraph 67 it permits belligerents to attack merchant vessels flying the flag of neutral States if they "are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture". Paragraph 146 permits the capture of neutral merchant vessels outside neutral waters if they are engaged in any of the activities referred to in paragraph 67.[48] Yochanan Visser, a Dutch-language analyst for the Israel Facts Group, contended in an article for Het Vrije Volk that the provisions of the San Remo manual made Israel's action legal under international law.[49]

Please don't make personal attacks against me. I won't make any against you. Yes I am a Christian, and I will be 20 in two weeks. How is that absurd?

Not being signatory to a treaty does not mean a country is not subject to the laws within it. Israel can't simply take over a ship in international waters.
