There's absolutely no justification for these murders - it is an act of piracy pure and simple.<br /><br />As to the excusers: visit Harry's Place if you wish to bring up your dinner.James Bloodworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056322603243514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-38465263214243774132010-06-01T13:08:15.287+01:002010-06-01T13:08:15.287+01:00I did think the least other mediterranean governme...I did think the least other mediterranean governments could do is send twice as many aid ships and back them up with naval protection.<br />Instead we see the UN producing the most anodyne resolution possible.<br />The spokeswoman for the Free Gaza Movement interviewed by the BBC answered the point of why they couldn't just call in at Ashdod: much of what they were carrying, from window-frames to water purification systems the Israelis won't let through.<br />I think it might be Jeremy Bowen who pointed out that Israel could shut down the tunnels if it really wanted to, it suits the Isaraeli state to be seen to be squeezing Hamas.<br />One disappointment with the BBC coverage is that they keep asking why Hamas is still firing rockets into Israel, when in fact they've been doing their best to stop rocket fire (and as a Syrian spokeswoman pointed out, the rockets have only ever killed three Israelis). Though not as disappointing as the CBS coverage, which only gave the Israeli side, which would suggest that the domestic pressure on the US government is unlikely to force it into any real action over this.skidmarxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-39558514897882533742010-05-31T17:29:12.192+01:002010-05-31T17:29:12.192+01:00Indeed, they constantly manage to drive the world ...Indeed, they constantly manage to drive the world against them and they are losing backers very quickly.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-73737121761827111042010-05-31T17:27:23.102+01:002010-05-31T17:27:23.102+01:00Dangerous and stupid.

Had Israel stayed its hand and the aid had got through, there might have been a few red faces in its government. But because they acted as per their doctrine of disproportionate force they're facing international condemnation and a dangerous future flashpoint.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-51563720543351922612010-05-31T17:11:34.356+01:002010-05-31T17:11:34.356+01:00Israel seems determined to harm its credibility an...Israel seems determined to harm its credibility and image even further and all this with a White House less than keen to back them as fully as others have.
