Not a fucking Normal Reaction!

At least 10 activists killed as Israel navy opens fire on Gaza aid flotilla.

As someone said to me, sometimes the non-violent solidarity groups act as cover for the violent solidarity group.

Oh, wait...

I'm genuinely shocked that it took such a violet turn. That there are so many wounded and killed and that the IDF just opened fire on ships they knew had European Legislators, Nobel Laureates, VIP's who are known activists and a bunch of civilians.

Al-Jazeera reports that the incident took place in international waters.

This is bad bad bad, horrible.

I can't even begin to talk about this. This is just so wrong.

Whoever gave theses orders was out of their mind!

This is not what I expected when I went to bed last night.

The hasbara for this will need to be industrial-strength. :-P

Some of the folks at the vigil last Friday were talking about what would happen if Israel attacked the flotilla. I thought they were being excessively paranoid. Guess not. Holy fuck.

Just.

No.

Do not want.

I don't even know how to parse these events, they're so beyond my ability to understand, at this point.

Can I borrow your icon?

Yep, have at it.
