reading what "intelligent" people say on this issue is such horse shit.
"WELL, IT WASNT ACTUALLY A BLOCKADE"
"WELL, HOW CAN YOU HAVE A BLOCKADE WHEN THERE IS NO ARMED CONFLICT?"
"ISRAEL IS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE PEOPLE ON THAT BOAT
"
"WITH HAMAS? THATS RIDICULOUS! HAMAS DOESNT OWN ANYTHING."
"ISRAEL OWNS EVERYTHING. THE WHOLE GAZA. THEY ARE JUST AT WAR WITH THEMSELVES." < lol thats like the dumbest point cause then couldn't they just claim they are embargoing? or refusing aid?? im sure there's laws about embargoing but im pretty sure a country has the right to refuse aid.
anyway, the only good point ive seen is that you cant blockade on the high seas. well, not that its a good point just that i can't find a lot contradicting it. there's these two situations with the virginius and the caroline which were pretty similar...
