Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They're trying to imply that the flotilla activists cause trouble wherever they go and that beating them is almost unavoidable, just to get them to comply with their orders.

There's just a couple of differences that Israel left out.

  • The Spanish police didn't invade international waters and kidnap the flotilla activists to beat them.
  • The flotilla activists complied with the Israel army, as soon as the army illegally invaded their ships and pointed their guns at them.
  • The Spanish police haven't been accused of raping any of them (that I have heard).
