#2 What, all of them, de Medici? Even my Canadian girlfriend who recently became an American citizen, or the people from Hong Kong who bought Canadian citizenship for their children? Are you taking into consideration that Canada under Prime Minister Harper is a considerably better friend to Israel than is president Obama"s America? Your world must be a simple one, my dear.

#3 A third ship from France has allegedly busted out of the Greek port. That is a serious criminal offense, and makes it officially a "pirate" vessel.

Violating harbor departure rules can be described as like "taking off in a 747 from a major airport without clearance or direction from the tower."

Importantly, it is an *international* offense, and the Greeks will likely not only send the French government a diplomatic nastygram, but issue an international arrest warrant valid throughout the EU.

Yea, well, these people are not accustomed to obeying laws---they're used to dealing with Israel that, de facto, if not de jure, has no rights under "International Law".
