Well when I google it the top three posts are just you being a douchetard. Apparently "muca" is Latvian for ass or something, but seriously, who cares?

Around the traps I've noticed the notion that Israel had to stop them for some particular reason this time. Nothing specific was said, that I saw, but the implication seemed to be that letting the boats through would nullify whatever claim they had to the blockade's legitimacy.
There's no reading of the law like that around is there, particularly? Israel's just thinking to make a good show of it.
Aside from that is there any reason not to just bring the boat in to dock and search it there for terrorists, weapons et al? I guess the base question is, was there any reason for the operation aside from enforcing the blockade? That's a detail I might have missed. Israeli spokepeople have seemingly implied that there was at times, but that could have just been jumbling of language in the interviews I watched.
First, the point of the whole blockade (and this operation) is to bring the ships into dock (Ashkelon) and search them for weapons, then let all the aide into Gaza without further restraint. That's what Israel was attempting, and that's the part that the activists are trying to claim is illegitimate. (They want to be allowed to ship aid in to Gaza without any Israeli interference at all.)
There's an interview with Bibi (take with a grain of salt), and he kept reiterating that Israel is allowing all aid into Gaza, they just want the right to inspect ships for weapons as long as rockets continue to enter (a ship of weapons was confiscated just last January). Also he mentioned the number of weapons that could come in by sea (the confiscated ship had something like 200 tons) is on an entirely different scale than what can come in through tunnels from Egypt.
As I understood it, they didn't mention any specific intelligence that *this* convoy had weapons (and past ones didn't), but this was the largest convoy yet. So I understood that it's still all about enforcing the blockade generally, but special just because there were more and larger ships involved, so it flaunted the blockade more flagrantly. So yeah, it's about enforcing it and sending the message it's for all ships.

Nope I am the type of guy that takes girls like you back home and sends them back on a cloud. There are usually other options though.
Nah, girls like me don't settle for guys like you because we don't have the patience to indulge in the disconnect from reality that is necessary to deal with your type. Neither do most people here, it would seem. But I'm sure plenty of girls out there do, and you'll find one eventually.
And if that fails, there's always jokerman!

You do understand that you are in serious risk of falling in love with me when I explain. C'est moi.

I don't really know when it happened but you somehow went from mildly entertaining to downright pathetic.
Though it's the "people don't give a shit and will actually kick you even more"-kind of pathetic.
So not really pathetic I guess, but still sort of strangely entertaining in your own funny way.
Kind of.

Erm, yeah right.
Would you like a list of the stuff that Israel does not allow in?

Glad we are both making the most out of it. I have no idea who you are but I just realised I have always cared
