Synchronized Swimmers killed by Israelis

In this Breitbart article, "The bodies of two Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in the seas off Gaza washed ashore on Tuesday, bringing to six the total number of alleged militants killed by the Navy in a raid off the coast." "A survivor who was on shore at the time of the attack said the six men on the boat were members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed group which is loosely tied to the secular Fatah movement of Western-backed president Mahmud Abbas, but that there were no weapons on the boat." "He said they were doing swimming exercises some 100 metres (yards) off the coast when they were attacked by Israeli naval forces."

Where is the international outrage over this incident too? Afterall, the "unarmed" men were only doing "swimming exercises" in occupied waters when the untermensch Israelis killed them. /sarcasm off

It appears to me that the intent of the blockade busters is having perhaps intended consequences. If Islamists know where the Israeli naval positions are, perhaps they can USS Cole them and claim some marginal victory or perhaps use Israel's distraction with the blockade busters to carry out some other plan. What's also interesting is Iran's attempt to enter the foray by declaring they'll send naval vessels to aid the blockade busters. It's ironic considering the oh so advanced Iranians cannot even refine their own oil to make gasoline and other petroleum products. At what point does the US enter this mess, which it's currently allowing to fester into something worse, and put an end to this blockade busting nonsense? I fear our leader, who couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper sack, will continue to dither on this issue as he has all other issues put on his desk.
