Israel's latest atrocity, carried out in international waters, is yet another example of why it has lost the right to exist. Its bombing of Gaza the Xmas before last when it killed 1400 Gazans is a further example.

Israel has set itself above from the rest of the world community. It is now a law unto itself and ignores the laws which govern all other nations. It also ignores the opinions of all other nations.

Israel is an example of the danger of religious fanaticism. Just listen to Israeli leaders as they justify the murdering of aid activists. They are deranged. They can't see that what they have done is inhuman and illegitimate.

The fact that Israel has nukes and will use them to further its crazy, racist ambitions poses a huge danger to the rest of the world.

Israel must be stopped. Now!

HILARIOUS UNFETTERED UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER at the unashamed hypocrisy of Neve Gordon and David G :)

PIRACY ?
When a group of country shoppers TAKE CONTROL of a ship called Tampa....and direct the captain to sail at their command....it's not PIRACY ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_affair

About half an hour after Rinnan had set sail toward Indonesia, a delegation of five asylum seekers visited the bridge to demand passage to Australian territory, specifically Christmas Island, or any western country.[5] The group was quite aggressive and agitated and Rinnan agreed to alter course for Christmas Island

Let's face it.. Left wing spin will be totally out of control on this thread.. par for the course. They will of course leave out any detail which might weaken their feeding frenzy, such as the weapons used by the people on the boat against the interdiction by Israelis.

THEY will also neglect to point out that this was a deliberate provocation.. that the ships COULD have taken the 'aid' to Egypt or to Ashdod and arranged to have it transhipped (as long as it was legal materials).

So... flail away you communists... we know your PC game..and 'Granny' does not fool us for a moment.. we know you just want to eat us.

Israel, since it's inception and the conquest of the Canaanites is under divine protection. Nothing changes this..from it's founding to the day of resurrection. Those who would try to undermine Israel should remember these divine words...to Abraham.

"Those who curse you...I will curse"

The author seems to assume, without any justification given, that Israel has (or has had) sovereignty over Gaza.

As I understand it Israel has _claimed_ sovereignty over the remainder of Palestine, but that's surely different from actually legally _having_ sovereignty.

Dearie me, someone is strutting about with a miraculous bulletproof vest, claiming divine protection.

Just in case that's not enough protection, there's Iron Dome. See:

"Last week, the BBC reported Barack Obama's request to Congress for $200 million in military aid to assist Israel's construction of a short-range rocket defence system, Iron Dome. The funding will be in addition to the $3 billion in military aid the US annually sends to Israel. A BBC online article explained:

"The system is designed to shoot down mortars and rockets from Gaza or Southern Lebanon with guided missiles." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8681919.stm)"

The MediaLens article goes on to suggest that the short travel time of such Palestinian rockets means a system such as Iron Dome is useless - not to mention overpriced.

Still, Iron Dome may be good enough protection for tinpot braggarts strutting about in the safety of their homes. I pity the poor Yanks who get to pay their tax dollars and their children's lives for a belligerent, incompetent Israeli government.

Why is Israel so bastardly aggressive, is because she was given the okay many years ago by Richard Nixon to go unlawfully militarily nuclear, despite warnings from Nixon's Minister of State, Henry Kissinger.

Certainly a large part of the above warnings has been the modern weakness of the UN, part of its original design being to prevent not only Israel becoming like a Red Backed Spider, but also Iran becoming openly aggressive.

Kissinger's prediction of a major war in the Middle East is thus becoming more and more dangerously possible

Algoreisrich, your comments suggest you are suffering from serious mental derangement. A similar derangement affects the Israelis.

You write as though you think you are God. Your attitude is one of arrogance and superiority when you address other commenters.

Your irrational rants are boring and rarely deal with the subject matter of the thread while the links you provide are rarely worth reading.

You are not funny or clever, just a serial nuisance, one that OLO could do well without!

Please take some time off. Get some counseling!
