6. That is a good point to make.
Laws that apply to other nations do not apply to Israel.

7. It says 2 ships of the flotilla are US registered ships
Our two passengers boats, Challenger 1 and Challenger 1I, had mechanical problems on Friday, May 28, and were pulled into ports in Cyprus. After Cypriot port authoriies on the Greek side denied our request to pull in for repairs, our boat, Challenger 1 limped into the port of Famagusta, on the Turkish side of Cyprus.

Both boats are flagged and registered in the United States, which means they are U.S. territory.

9. I imagine the pressure the U.S is putting on Ireland to get them to turn
around is tremendous.

10. The IDF terrorists will attack that ship based on the name of it alone
They hate to be reminded of their past acts of terrorism and murder.
