Actually I was going by the multiple surprisingly good resolution videos of the boarding that've been released, as well as the
undoctored photographs clearly showing just how "nonviolent" the "humanitarians" were when a commandos with paintball guns roped down. That the commandos had backup weapons doesn't mean shit since they weren't using them until
well after being attacked with deadly force.

Collective punishment is illegal under the Geneva Conventions. The blockade is actively preventing the goods Gaza's 1.5 million residents require.

You can insist on using political trick-wording all you want, it does not change that the blockade was a legal action undertaken by Egypt and Israel.
I suppose next you'll be beating the "disproportionate force" dead horse and insisting... what exactly? Nobody is ever very clear on what IS proportionate force, just that every engagement where Hamas forces don't win was a use of "disproportionate force". Does it mean Israel should automatically ensure they take the same number of casualties as Hamas? Perhaps it means every military action should be a stalemate?
