Why the hell would they use fake photos when the originals were such BS anyway? The clock excuse actually seems pretty legit.

That picture was not taken at 5 AM, so there's no way the date is set correctly.
I don't really have an opinion but I will say that I've never used a camera that I've had to set the clock on
[QUOTE=Mexican;22355409]Wait so this thing implies that the entire knife and the logos on the body armor were photoshopped?[/QUOTE]
Pretty much.
Can someone please tell me what Israel is doing wrong, I need to get caught up with this.
Don't be biased.

They attempted to hijack a boat in international waters, which was breaking their illegal blockade, the boat resisted and attacked the hijackers, the said hijackers opened fire on the activists in self-defense.

"ITT arguments"
= pro-israel
San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994: says boarding of ships is legal on international waters, if they have intent to violate a blockade.
Danish research paper claims IHH has terror ties.
Flotilla had intent to violate Israeli blockade
Weapons found, Kitchen knives, metal rods, wooden planks.
IDF video shows activists attacking first. (doesn't display complete encounter though)
= pro-flotilla
UN and international court of justice, by using article 33 have deemed the gazan blockade illegal.
video of activists being shot, whilst holding out a white flag (doesn't display complete encounter though)
Commandos boarded the ship and shot 9 dead on international waters.
EXIF files show IDF's weapon pictures taken in 06' and edited in 2010.
all evidence confiscated by IDF, including film.

I never saw this video, could you post it?

I could see the armor, but why would they photoshop an entire knife into a picture of a wall?

There might have been something on the wall that they considered uploading, but then decided against it and then shopped that knife from a picture taken somewhere else (like, say, the desert) in.
I don't see how that image proves the knife was shopped in. Why would they even bother shopping it in if they can just retake it somewhere. Just stab a goat or something.
More false evidence.

Thank you for summarizing.
I will try to counter the first pro-flotilla argument since the rest are bs anyways.
First of all, what does UN have to do with anything? Half the UN are third world anti-Israel countries and the other half supine Europeans. For example USA choose not to comply with some UN regulations; can the UN do something about it? No. It's just another organization; they have no power over Israel.
Now, about the actual article: It belongs to the Convention of the High Seas which is incorporated to the UNCLOS. But, Israel [B]has not signed[/B] the latest UNCLOS; therefore they have no legal obligation to follow its regulations.
Why would Israel sign anyway, since half of these laws would worsen its position against Hamas.
Now since the refutability of the blockade is not actual, the San Remo Law and the Helsinki regulations hold.
