Update: Israeli Flotilla Raid - Illegal

It's been reported today that the UN Human Rights Council has found that Israel's military broke multiple international laws when it raided the Gaza bound flotilla in May of this year.

In addition, the UN body also called the Israeli blockade unlawful in itself.

Israel has already denounced the findings as biased but once again a UN body has found the actions of Israel to be contrary to international law.

However, whether or not there will be appropriate consequences is another matter.
