As far as the weapons...that is their claim. The aid flotilla was certified to have no weapons in Cyprus and at every stop they made, customs officials certified that there was no weapons. One of the big reasons there is a lot of distrust is that the Israeli's refuse to comply with international law and publicly post the list of contraband items, so there is nothing to compare your cargo to until they inspect it. SO one of the inspectors could just happen to like what you are carrying and say it is contraband. There is no transparency on this and people are reporting a lot of abuse.

Ok....maybe I'm missing something here (probably), but what's the big deal with going through the ports Israel has told people they can go through? Why is it such a big deal to run the blockade? It's not like they're not letting aid in at all. They just want to inspect the cargo before it goes into the area to make sure there's no weapons, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320843 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
