عدلة(Adalah) does not mean law. It means "justice".
One small correction. Al-Haq (الحاق) is not Arabic for "The Truth". Haq means "Law" or "Right".
"When Nonviolence Meets Live Ammo - A Response to Matthew Taylor's Condemnation of the Defence of the Mavi Marmara"
link to meldungen-aus-dem-exil.noblogs.org
"In The Tacitus Principle, I explained that any violent resistance by the passengers of the Mavi Marmara would fall within self-defence, a justification. While this is the legal category their actions fall into, I am not content to argue that the Marmara resisters were blameless. This is obvious. Instead, I would go far as to say that their actions are worthy of praise. Indeed, the way the people on board the Mavi Marmara responded to the Israeli attack should go down in history as an example of how one can resist murderous violence without losing one’s humanity."
It's important to point out that this "intelligence report" isn't an intelligence report at all. I looked into this for my piece "The Tacitus Principle: How Israel and its Apologists Defend the Indefensible" (link to meldungen-aus-dem-exil.noblogs.org
If you look at the source citations in the Danish "study" (such a shoddy piece of work in general that "study" doesn't seem the right word), you'll find that a single source is cited over and over again for these claims: "Réquisitoire définitif aux fins de non-lieu..." (though almost every single word is misspelt in the Danish report). This is not an intelligence report at all. It's a motion filed in a French appellate court.
