After Mavi Marmara,
...at the Security Council on Monday voices were raised against the blockade, and the pressure to abandon it is bound to intensify.
the Security Council condemned Israel calling the blockade illegal.
Several envoys said Israel was in violation of international law, not least because Security Council resolution 1860 passed in the midst of the Gaza war in January 2009 had called for ending the blockade and opening unfettered access to humanitarian assistance throughout the strip...The United States, which habitually defends Israel in the council, said that the attempt to run the blockade by sea was ill advised...
Now the Palmer report concludes blockade is legal:
A long-awaited United Nations review of Israel’s 2010 raid on a Turkish-based flotilla in which nine passengers were killed has found that Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza is both legal and appropriate...
Nu, I ask you, are these guys plain dumb, uneducated or just biased against Israel?
