Israel does NOT have the right to search Japanese boats in Japanese territorial waters. Period.
I am paying attention. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Territorial waters means it is that countries territory. They have FULL sovereign control of that territory. Israel going onto Japanese waters to attack a Japanese ship would be treated as a declaration of war on Japan regardless of the stated intent of the Japanese vessel.
It would be no different than Israel bombing a land convoy on Japanese land.
"The US Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations sets forth that a vessel is considered to be in attempt to breach a blockade from the time the vessel leaves its port with the intention of evading the blockade."

Congratulations. That doesn't mean that Israel can legally invade a neutral countries territory to do anything about it.
You're a dumbfuck. The naval blockade didn't choke military supplies because those have been delivered mainly through land crossings.
The blockade covers both the land and the ocean, not just the ocean. I am not talking about the naval blockade, which is only a portion of the blockade, exclusively.
Want to try again?
I thought not.
How silly of me to think you were talking about the naval blockade in a thread exlcusively discussing the naval blockade.
