#1 TOPIX > UZI DAYAN: ISRAEL WILL NOT TRY TO TAKE ON TURKISH SHIP, BUT WOULD TRY TO SINK IT [whether or not iff TURK LDR ERDOGAN is aboard].

IOW, IIUC iff the TURKISH NAVY, etc. is going to commit what Israel deems is a DE FACTO ACT(S) OF WAR AGZ ISRAEL, ISRAEL HAS NO PROBS TAKING DOWN = SINKING TURKISH LEADER(S) WID TURKISH WARSHIPS AT THE SAME TIME.

* SAME > US NAVY TO EXPAND FIFTH FLEET GULF BASE [Bahrain].

#2 "It's still difficult to decipher the intentions behind the changing U.S. policy at the United Nations, and not just in regard to the Middle East," the official said.

"Difficult" for some I suppose. How many Arab countries has Barry visited now.... and never stepped foot in Israel?

#4 Article is Reuters, which just admitted they doctored the flotilla photos. Little Green Footballs called them on it as they edited out a knife and some blood as a commando lay bleeding on the deck and Fox picked it up.

Bas+ards.

Has anyone asked them how they feel about this? Why they did it? What they hoped to accomplish? Why they feel the need to promote a lie over the truth? Who did it? Have they cleaned out their desk(s) yet?

#10 Obama still can't see Turk jihadists swinging steel bars at disarmed IDF soldiers, on the deck of the Mavi Marmara.

Moral blindness I guess.
