When Israeli commandos can assault a humanitarian aid flotilla and kill a dozen civilians from all over the world in full and reasonable expectation of total impunity, who is putting our lives in danger? Afghan religious fanatics or the zionist variety? How long will it take for a more competent terrorist, enraged by the imprisonment and slow annihilation of 1.5 million Gazans, to attack our subways or blow up a bus terminal in retaliation?
It will be interesting to hear how our New York senators, terrified by or perhaps part of the zionist lobby, spin the latest outrage. Already we can see the shape in a commentary in the British Guardian: the attack is an ‘own goal’, the Israelis have shot themselves in the foot and damaged their image.
This is exactly what Pope Benedict says about pedophile priests: it really hurts the Church, which is all he cares about.
Israel’s spokespeople immediately claimed that its military force was attacked by the civilians, which will be promptly believed by its unconditional defenders. Others say the commandos boarded the ship and started shooting. Details aside, could one of the most skilled fighting forces in the world have found it impossible to seize the ships peaceably had it chosen to do so?
Israeli PM Netan-yahoo is in Washington today. Let’s see if Obama stands next to him less than 24 hours after this war crime committed by his failed state.
Meanwhile, my local supermarket sells something called ‘Jordan dates’, which turn out to be Israeli goods from the somewhere near the Jordan River, not the eponymous country. I will not be buying them.
