Gaza Flotilla Raid: Israel Sends a Message
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. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2010-06-01 |
