The world has condemned Israel for attacking some, “poor, innocent aid relief workers”, while refusing to look for the real story behind this.

The main stream media would have you believe that a bunch of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) boarded the ship and relentlessly killed some innocent civilians. What they forgot to show you was the video below. It clearly shows IDF soldiers boarding the ship while being beaten with chairs and pipes.

That flotilla was an attempt to feed, equip and arm the terrorists in Gaza; I doubt one crumb of food or one bit of medical supplies would have reached the women and children there. Israel knows it, I know it and congrats to Israel on a successful capture of the flotilla. Keep up the work, Israel, I support you 200%!
Here is the problem. Israel boarded the flotilla in international waters. Israel would at least have had a ligament claim if they were in Israeli waters.
Sorry, legitimate claim....
With the threat of terrorist attacks being so very high in Israel, I think they must intercept these ‘peace flotillas’ as far away as they can, before these ships can come within firing range. What’s to say that these ships aren’t at some point going to launch a missile attack as they approach shore? There’s no way of knowing, and I am staunchly behind Israel for taking the actions that they are taking.
