| Gaza Flotilla Raid: Israel Sends a Message |
| 2010-06-01 |
| H/T Puppy Blender ...Question: Israel is about to take a PR drubbing in Europe and America, and certainly at the left-wing and Muslim-dominated United Nations. Israel's cabinet knew that would happen. Why did they decide to stop the flotilla with commandos? There are more imaginative ways to do that. I think the decision was deliberate, and it was not aimed at the blockade-running convoy. It was a signal to Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, and most of all the United States — because we are in the midst of the most dangerous war confrontation in decades. This was also a signal for the Obama administration, which just stabbed Israel in the back at another UN phony “peace' conference. Everything being done by Israel and its enemies today has a double purpose: It is what it is, and it's also a strategic signal. This time the cabinet and PM decided to show their very sharp claws. It meant: This time we are willing to preempt you with gunfire. Take heed, because we are not interested in PR. |

| #3 BO has taken a petulant churlish attitude... Yeah, but on the other hand he has kissed the behinds of every ratbag dictator and america-hating commie leader in the world. Oh, wait! That's not good at all. |

| #1 When the wolves are at the door, screw PR. Survival should be the only focus for Israel and the US. Israel knows that. I don't know why we don't. Maybe because the U.S. has a weak president and our enemies know that. They have been emboldened. It doesn't help that BO has taken a petulent churlish attitude towards our only ally in the mideast; Israel. |
