There's still the small matter of boarding ships in international waters, where Israel has no authority whatsoever.

So, if victims of pirates use a crowbar and a screwdriver against their attackers, then you say the victims had it coming, asked for their ships being boarded by pirates and shouldn't complain about being killed? Funny how you try to turn the world upside down in a fruitless attempt to justify this act.
