"Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of aid-carrying ships aiming to break the country's siege on Gaza.
At least 19 people were killed and dozens injured when troops intercepted the convoy of ships dubbed the Freedom Flotilla early on Monday, Israeli radio reported.
The flotilla was attacked in international waters, 65km off the Gaza coast.
Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, confirmed that the attack took place in international waters, saying: 'This happened in waters outside of Israeli territory, but we have the right to defend ourselves.'"

The Israeli-American-NATO continuum: where pre-meditated murder = self-defense.
I have no other words. Intimidation works, which is why assholes continue to kill the innocent.
