Well, I've stirred PPJ to demonstrate what little history he remembers and knows:
Can anyone imagine Turkey doing what they did if any President between Carter and Hussein was in office????
Can you imagine anyone other than an Israel security agent shooting an American citizen dead and being likely to get away with it?
Of course not. Weakness is always a signal for the jackals and hyenas to attack.
I always whether there was a rhyme or reason to why you post at Talkleft, PPJ. Thanks for clearing that up.
So the radicals found some “useful idiots,” as Lenin is reputed to have described such people, and launched them in a way that was sure to get them injured and killed.
Like they had no choice as to how to carry out the operation than the way they did.
Right.
More questions than answers came from the IDF video shots of the violent reception for Israeli naval commandos when they raided the Turkish ship early Monday, May 31 to prevent the pro-Palestinian flotilla from reaching Gaza Port and breaking the Israeli blockade on the Hamas-ruled territory.
Prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who cancelled his trip to the United States and is flying straight home from Canada, will have to fill in the gaps left by his official spokesmen.
Released finally 12 hours after the event, the IDF shots failed to explain the big mystery of how soldiers armed with paint balls and pistols managed to kill 9 pro-Palestinian activists (Ankara claims 15 Turkish dead) and injure at least 34 aboard the Turkish Marmora.
Together with six injured soldiers - two in critical condition - the wounded activists are being treated in Israeli hospitals.
Israel's chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi, and Navy commander, Maj. Gen. Eliezer Marom, reported that a fierce clash developed aboard the ship as the soldiers dropped on deck from helicopters and were mobbed by passengers. The activists fired pistols, but it is not clear if the guns were in the peace activists' luggage or snatched from the soldiers.
Neither is it clear how civilian protesters were able to disarm elite fighters of the Navy's Shayetet 6 unit.
The soldiers performed their mission of preventing the flotilla from docking in Gaza Port and opening the door to large-scale weapons deliveries - but at what cost?
Surely the operation's planners must have taken into account that the 600 mixed nationals aboard the Turkish vessel, the hard core of international Palestinian agitprop against Israel, would not receive the soldiers with flowers and white flags, any more than the demonstrators at Iblin and Naalin hand out to the Israeli Border Police breaking up their riots week after week.

Hussein and the radical Muslims share equal blame. One by the sin of omission and one by the sin of commission. But both sins.
And the sin of substituting thought with sentence fragments, that's probably their fault as well.
As to the so-called legal argument about “piracy,” that is pure BS. The intentions of the ship was known and Israel was talking reasonable measures to defend itself.
From the above link:
And finally, why did the interception take place 80 miles out to sea in international waters, thereby fueling the complaint that Israel broke international law? The blockade zone is 20 nautical miles deep from Gaza. An Israeli raid at that limit would have been easier to justify.
Violence in international waters is still piracy, PPJ.
But, as the diplomat Tallyrand said of a similar situation:
"It's worse than a crime, it's a blunder!"
As to the idiotic attempt to connect the American civil rights movement and this we have more nonsense. The one and only reason Israel has the blockade up is that Hamas and other groups are sending suicide bombers and launching rockets. When that stops the blockade will stop.
And the last time that Hamas sent suicide bombers, or launched rockets was when?
Also, you should check out what Pat Buchanan has to say about illegal aliens, he's against them as much as you are.
This could have been over when Clinton got the Muslim Palestinians at least 90% of what they demanded. But, in typical and usual Muslim negotiation style, they assumed they could have the remaining 10% by demanding it and finding fools who will kill themselves to satisfy the hatred of others,
Yes, let's forget that the previous Administration didn't get anything done, let's blame it on the Democrats who came before and after GWB.
The bottom line is simple. As demonstrated by Helen Thomas…. With many Lefties…. Wipe away the disguise and you will find a Jew hater.
