#2 A trial should be held in Britain based on the British legal system

It would be, interesting, if British started applying British legal system to Muzzies.

#3 So they are going to invent a court to go with their made up international laws. Makes sense. Can I coin the phrase "Israeli Derangement Syndrome" or simply "IDS".

#4 How about a trial in Israel based on the criminal violation of a naval blockade?

"According to the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994, a blockade is a legal method of warfare at sea, but is governed by rules.

"The blockading nation must publish a list of contraband. The manual describes what can never be contraband. Outside this list, the blockading nation is free to select anything as contraband. The blockading nation typically establish a blockaded area of water, but any ship can be inspected as soon as it is established that it is attempting to break the blockade.

"This inspection can occur inside the blockaded area or in international waters, but never inside the territorial waters of a neutral nation.

"A neutral ship must obey a request to stop for inspection from the blockading nation. If the situation so demands, the blockading nation can request that the ship divert to a known place or harbour for inspection.

"If the ship does not stop, then the ship is subject to capture. If people aboard the ship are resisting capture, they can be attacked. It is still not allowed to sink the ship, unless provision is made for rescuing the crew. Leaving the crew in life rafts / lifeboats does not constitute rescue.

"If a neutral ship is captured, any member of the crew, resisting capture can be treated as prisoners-of-war, while the remainder of the crew should be released.

"A neutral nation may choose to send a convoy accompanied by warships. The warship can provide guarantees that the convoy does not contain contraband. in which case, the blockading nation does not have any right of inspection."

#5 The last provision is an interesting one, in the case of the Israel blockade. That is, both Turkey and Iran can initially claim to be "neutral" powers, and this would force Israel to declare them as aiding and abetting their enemy, so as to legally prevent their warships from entering Gaza waters.

Israel also has a legal port of entry for any ship willing to undergo cargo inspection, prior to its cargo being admitted to Gaza. This makes it especially difficult to legally break the blockade, since Israel has clearly published the contraband list, and does permit non-contraband cargoes to enter Gaza.

#6 Given that they were trying to aid people who intend to perpetrate a genocide, treat those people as accomplices of genocide.

I see no reason to treat people who bringing aid to the Hamas differently than people bringing aid to the Interamwe at Rwanda's border.

#7 Counterproductive. Cilantro and vinegar banned; frozen salmon and facial scrubs OK. No export of finished goods and no import of raw materials. "Give us Schalit, and we'll lift the blockade." Meanwhile, Hamas controls the smuggling.
