Israel attacks peaceful aidbringers.
So, Israel protects itself (it has every right to do so), and they're the BAD guy?
And Turkey is becoming more and more Islamicist. Bad news for NATO. Pete

I have mixed feelings about this story. Surely, Israel has a right to defend itself. OTOH, the boat contained no weapons and was 70 miles out in international waters where Israel had no right to board the ship.
After the boarding (of questionable legality), the Israelis were a bit heavy-handed in killing 9 folks onboard. There was a former US State Dep't. official on board who casts a different light upon what occurred than the Israelis did. Without judging the specific merits of this case, I personally see more benefit from an alliance with Turkey than with Israel.

We have screwed them over repeatedly and frankly if I were a Turk I'd be hard pressed to make a case for continuing to support the US. GW really treated the Turks badly.

FWIW, I've travelled in over 50 countries and Turkey is, without question, the most hospitable place I've ever been.

Israel did indeed have the right to board the ship in international waters according to the US State Department.
If that collection of terrorists tried landing here what do you think we would've done? And if they attacked our guys with metal pipes, what would we have done? Let's have Turkey join the EU so they can travel Europe without passports. Why is that a problem? Pete PS - what the hell was the former US State Dep't. official doing with those people?

Word is that there was, um, interesting things happening aboard the 6th ship. We shall see.
You want to let a Turkey-inspected ship into New York without OUR inspection? Hello Hamas. This whole thing is a stunt and a dumb one at that. Sadly it appears to be working, with the left worldwide gleefully joining their friends like Iran, Syria, etc in condemning the country they have sworn to destroy. Ah, these nobel prizewinning peace activists from around the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYjkL...layer_embedded Let's see what comes of this. Turkey is talking war, and there is a 7th ship on the way. Pete PS millions of tons of humanitarian aid goes to Palestine every year. Why isn't that a problem?
