The maritime law argument can be countered by presenting other laws by which the Gaza blockade is illegal, for instance. So the more the maritime law is presented the more obvious it is that Israel and other parties should be treated by the same standards. It is thus advisable for the pro Israel crowd to not talk about laws at all, unless they want to invalidate their own argument.
Another interesting argument is about how the Gazans in reality flourish under the blockade. The irony is that the presented luxury is based on smuggling, which Hamas controls. Hamas uses the proceedings to reinforce its grip. The few in power flourish while the rest of the population suffers.
So the pro Israel crowd is actually cheering the fact that the blockade makes Hamas richer and Israel less safe, which is opposite of the stated objective of the blockade.
It should now be easy to state, that ending the blockade is both lawful and reasonable.
The Israelis attacked a civilian ship on international waters.
That's not the protocol to follow when inspecting a vessel that is going to cross your border. That's piracy and an act of aggression.
Imagine if the peace activists had attacked an Israeli customs officer or some other member of Israeli civilian government, who would have boarded the ship to discuss with the crew and inspect the ship. The outcome would have been more favourable to Israel.
The operation was a disaster.
Had the activists denied any access to the ships their progress could have been denied in multitude of ways. Violence is the last resort.
It's important that Israel is punished for its actions. The actions of the activists and the action of the Israeli navy are separate cases. The cases should be handled by international court or entity, because the actions took place on international waters, out of Israeli jurisdiction.
