A report by the United Nations has determined that the Israeli naval blockade of terror-infested Gaza is legal and appropriate.

And while the report inexplicably claims the Israeli response to the terror flotilla was unreasonable, it notes that Israeli commandos were met with “organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers”.

The report also says those commandos were justified in using force to defend themselves from the terror flotilla’s participants.

That’s quite a different picture than the one anti-Israeli elements have spent many months painting. And not everyone is happy with the report, as you can imagine:

Turkey is particularly upset by the conclusion that Israel’s naval blockade is in keeping with international law and that its forces have the right to stop Gaza-bound ships in international waters, which is what happened here.

Israel, meanwhile, is relieved by the rare vindication from the typically anti-Israeli United Nations.

Here are the two parts that will absolutely infuriate anti-Israeli elements:

“Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza,” the report says in its opening paragraphs. “The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.”

And a review of the terror flotilla participants:

It said, “There exist serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organizers, particularly IHH.”

The report also says the Turkish government failed to adequately persuade the terror flotilla participants to avoid conflict with the Israelis.
