To Paul Witz..Maritime law be damned. The Israelis are fighting for survival against an insane and ruthless enemy. They showed more restraint than I would have under the same circimstances.

Israel bends backwards, armed with paintball guns, and get stabbed in the back, literally, in this case.

I agree with malic

Serbia bombed was and is a disgrace that will haunt Europe.

Mass hysteria is the fault of the mSM media: people are confused at best, world wide with half educated ideas.

At worst: it suits the third world.

I think these people want war and they will find a way to start it without getting blamed :the momentum is with the third world :while we allow our governments to be led by nonsense. And united nations.

This is like abortion. You either want to prohibit abortions or subsidize them. Likewise, you either want to support Israel, or isolate and boycott Isreal. Cutting off the subsidies and declaring neutrality doesn't seem to be an option.

Ilana, Israel is being “Serbed.” Hamas has learned the lessons of Bosnia well, and by casting Gaza as another Sarajevo, is planning on winning by losing. Israel’s military advantage thus becomes a liability, and the war is shifted to the theater of international public opinion – which, ever since Bosnia, has been dominated by bleeding-heart liberals conditioned to root for the designated “underdog”, while seeing anything the designated culprit does (whatever its legitimacy) as pure evil.

This is a Turkish stunt to gain street cred on the Arab street. The ruling AK (Justice & Development) Party in Turkey feels ideological sympathy with Hamas too, as they are both rooted in Islamic politics.
Unfortunately, governments in countries that should know better also seem to be trying to gain street cred with the Arab masses.

This was an example of Israeli excess, complete overkill. I saw the headlines that this aid ship was leaving Cyprus and then the next day…. 10 dead! I’m still stunned. I’m baffled when Christians are so cavalier about human life. This reminds me of the siege at Waco or Kent State. Overwhelming, reckless State carnage.

Paul Witz: “Overwhelming force should be present to assure that any stupid move by the insane leaders of Israel will result in that country being turned immediately into a radioactive cinder.”

A month ago, I thought Obama’s nuclear policy was silly. Now I concede he’s got a point. Ok, so the Israelis have paint guns, a US Swat team has 9 mills and up, Mp-4 and 5s, thirteen round twelve gauge shotguns, does being under gunned count as a “stupid move”? A couple of weeks ago, protestors rioted in Indonesia, the army there turned loose on them with just about anything handy, yet there is not a peep from the news, the terrorists in Gaza are using the money that Israel is giving them for food money to buy and shoot rockets into Israel and its Israel’s aggression. Staying on point, the North Koreans sink a South Korean ship and its South Korea’s fault because they are not giving enough aid to North Korea. Where did the rational world go?

The Israelis boarded this vessel in international waters. They were not wanted on the vessel. Maritime law says this is an act of piracy. The passengers on the vessel were within their rights to repel ANY boarders except Turkish inspectors, (this is a Turkish vessel) with all means at hand. They had no firearms or explosives. A "death list" was found after the attack, dropped by one of the commandos. You have to be blind, deaf, and utterly stupid to support this action by Israel. The problem is that Jews the world over will suffer for this, the action of a corrupt, viciously insane government. Most Jews will see this for what it is, a senseless depraved act. Only the Zionist madmen in power, and those supporting this act, need be brought to account, and not the worlds Jewish population. Sadly, the only way to do this is to shut off ALL funding and aid to Israel from all countries, boycott all Israeli goods, and closely monitor their armed forces, including and especially the 3 nuclear armed subs off the Iranian coast. Overwhelming force should be present to assure that any stupid move by the insane leaders of Israel will result in that country being turned immediately into a radioactive cinder. This is the only thing the Israeli leadership understands. Pray for the Jews. They will be caught in the middle of this, as well as the Arabs. Both sides just want to be left alone to live a peaceful life. The leaders will kill them all, just to satisfy their bloodlust and thirst for power.

Iam always shaking my head at the perverseness of the world in general and the United States in particular. We gush over thugs like Castro, Chavez, Mao and the like while we curse allies like old South Africa and Israel. The Palestinians can indulge in the most transparent, fake provacation and we don’t bother to look at theevidence but automatically condemn Israel. Or condemn the Tea Parties. Or condemn White Baptists in Alabama. Or condemn rich yuppie white boys playing lacrosse at a rich yuppie university. Or condemn Arizona over a law nobody has read. It is the thing to do because nobody is trained to dig into an issue but rather to react like one of Pavlov’s dogs to a certain stimulus. The gulf of difference between civilized, educated society and third world tom-tom beating society grows ever more narrow.
