Israel seem on their own here.
One wonders what position Obama will take on this.
I suspect he'll play cagey.
Your take.

Dude, if you were surrounded by neighbours who believe it is their sworn religious duty to dispatch you to the next world, you would react in a similar manner.

Er...being a nyeuthi, your reaction would probably make the Israelis envious.

B timer,

The aim of the humanitarian organizers was not just to deliver the aid to Gaza.

For along time, the enemies of Israel have largely been depicted as the bad guys - bomb totting terrorists ready to use children to deliver bombs to Israeli towns. I think the organizers knew just how Israel would react. They know the Israelis never compromise of security. This may have been a plan to provoke Israel into some action which would alienate it from its strongest supporters and paint Israel as a blood thirsty neighbourhood bully, ready to kill unarmed civilians trying to deliver aid to a territory already made desolate by the same neighbourhood thug.
Though they lost lives, I doubt the organizers consider the incident a total failure given the international furore it has generated.

On this debate, I support Israel 100%. And they should take on the next flotilla that is provocatively being prepared.

Israel has a right to protect itself. If they lift the blockade, missiles find their way into Gaza and into Israel. Israel has done nothing more gross than the noisy nations to deserve the lashing.

I was surprised to see David Cameron disparage Israel - forgive him he was born recently he may not know what his country did to the Mau mau freedom fighters.

If Israel asked me to join their army, I would.

Israel - senseless Zionist.
When Ahmadinejad suggested wiping them out, I disagreed but now He can go ahead.cant bear Pain and tears of Palestinians women and children
