    I don’t give a fuck about pirates. I care about disingenuous arguments. Including that them shooting at international ships is an effective or moral way to protest Israeli actions.

      Well you’re in luck then, because I don’t think it is either. Maybe they’d have a leg to stand on if they were actually Israeli ships, but it sounds like they’ve been attacking random ones and then declaring them Israeli. It’s a stunt, and now the West is making it look even better.

        We can’t let it go though. They’ve effectively blocked the suez canal for the entire world. Everything from food aid to toys.

        A tactic I’d expect out of Israel, ironically

          Lying is universal, and lying about the thing you attacked is trendy this century.

          I wonder if the decision makers in this case knew it was a lie from the start, of if their intelligence people were giving them what they wanted to find. Or maybe both, like the Iraqi WMDs.

            The intelligence agencies were never the problem with Iraqi WMDs. They said the weapons might exist, but they could not conclusively confirm it. The Bush Administration lied about it and said the intelligence agencies called it a certainty.

            But I digress, I get what you mean.
