Jewish pirates boarded an aid convoy in international waters, killing
sixteen people.

As usual the original reports, including those reported in US papers
originate from the Arab press, Al-Jazeera. More news is coming out now
showing that the Israelis boarded the ships to inspect the cargo. The
organizers of this flotilla are known Jihad activists and have been caught
in the past smuggling weapons and rockets into Gaza. When the Israeli
soldiers boarded, first they were met by physical violence but then two of
the activists drew revolvers and started firing on the Israelis. Soon as
those shots were fired, the Israelis returned the fire. Four Israelis were
wounded too.
Why don't everyone wait until all the facts come out before they make any
judgements?

Because they don't WANT the facts; they are happy to accept the Arab
propaganda.

I think it was Daniel Patrick Moynahan who coined the immortal phrase:

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own
facts."

The Jew-haters (who have displaced their venom onto Israel because
Jew-hating is no longer cool), are happy to buy into the skilled Arab
propaganda.

So are the extreme members of the Left (not MY Left!) who are
generally
very, very, very ignorant of history.

Ask these folks if they would like their mortal enemies (Hamas) to
have
access to smuggling in weapons from a suppliers (Iran) to kill them,
and you'll get a different reaction.

But the situation of Israel is exactly that. The first duty of any
nation
is to protect it citizens, which is just what Israel is doing.

BTW, don't buy the Arab-Left propaganda that this "flotilla" was
needed to supply humanitarian aid. Go to sites that detail
how much food and medicine and building materials Israel
trucks into Gaza each day.

The "flotilla" was nothing more than Jew-hating propaganda,
along the lines of the many other myths that expert propaganda
machine has concocted -- and which certain elements of the
public eagerly gobble up, for their own not-so-good reasons.

Try the above exercise, if you have the capacity to be honest:
Play out the scenario in YOUR OWN BACK YARD and see
how YOU would react.

History is that Israel is a stolen land. The owners want it back. And
are entitled to take whatever steps are neccesary. �They naturally
hate Jews. � And the Jews deserve to be hated. �Everyone of their
nieghbours for the last four thousand years has hated them. They can't
all be wrong.

Do you hate Jesus? �Jesus was a Jew. �Don't tempt me to include a list of Jewish
artists, inventors, writers, scientists, musicians, philosophers etc. who have
contributed immensely to what, for convenience sake, we tend to call "western
civilization." �You hate all of them too?

Whether you might like it or not, there's a much better than even chance that if
you were able to fully document your genealogy for the past 2,000 years, you'd
find that you too have "Jewish blood" in your family. �Most of us are really
much more mixed than we suspect.

Jesus was not a Jew. He did not speak Hebrew, he spoke Aramiac.
That, I think, makes him a Palestinian.
I hate ignorance and bigotry. I deal in facts.
