Israel: Seized ship carried sophisticated weapons

Post by Seth » Wed Mar 16, 2011 11:01 pm

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's defense minister says the cargo ship intercepted by the navy appeared to be carrying game-changing, sophisticated weaponry that Gaza militants do not currently possess.

Ehud Barak told reporters in Tel Aviv that Israel suspects the arms included "the beginnings of an advanced system" that could affect Israel's ability to act along Gaza's coast.

"Those who support denying anyone the right to keep and bear arms for personal defense are fully complicit in every crime that might have been prevented had the victim been effectively armed." Seth

So what are we to infer from this?

Evidently it was an Iranian ship, so we might conclude that Iran doesn't like Israel.

Just in case you didn't already know that, that is.

No, you're supposed to go off on a rant about how the evul Joos are suppressing the poor, benighted Palestinians by intercepting and seizing military arms intended to be used against Israel.

Get with the program, willya!
