Remember that old joke about the Jewish kid who murdered his parents

That was a joke meant to illustrate the meaning of the word chutzpah,
nerve, gall.

Here is
the real life version.

Israeli officials say they are willing to pay compensation to the
families of the Gaza Flotilla victims, and express sorrow over what
happened. Now here comes the but -


"They want it spelled out that the commandos who boarded the flotilla
were acting in self-defense. And they want whatever deal emerges to
end the United Nations inquiry and other international legal
actions."

You're right. They shouldn't pay any money at all. The people trying
to break the blockade came with weapons, intending to fight. Israel
didn't expect that, thought they were "peace activists", and wasn't
ready with mob suppression methods, and ended up using guns when their
sailors were threatened. You do remember that early on one of them
was knocked off the deck to the deck below, right.

The attempted blockade runners should be expressing sorrow to him, and
paying him compensation.

Oh, is that all?


Any compensation will of course be paid for out of US aid - by dint
of
which the Zionist entity exists

You can be sure that anyone who calls it the Zionsist entity is
anti-Israel no matter what Israel does, and an antisemite too.

- as happened in the 1967 USS Liberty
incident. And as for expressing sorrow, this does not extend to
holding the murderers accountable for their crimes in an
international
court of law,

That's correct. The Turkish and other attackers, including a few
Americans, on the Turkish ship have not been held accountable.

instead, the men who boarded a ship in the fashion of
pirates shooting at their victims with automatic machine guns are to
be portrayed as acting in self-defence.

Only fools would try to run a publicly announced blockades. Only damn
fools would try to run it when they were intercepted by those
maintaining the blockade. Plus those who weren't there to deliver
anything but who wanted a violent incident and were ready to kill and
get some of their own people killed. You can bet that no one who
organized the project in Turkey was in any danger.

Are these Israeli officials the same ones who distributed a video
parody of the Michael Jackson song "Heal The World" which portrayed
the victims as terrorists, and mocked them, including the nine men
the Israeli commandoes murdered?


Probably, as the saying goes, you couldn't make it up. But the time
has come to say enough is enough; this crime against the world on the
high seas must not be permitted to go unpunished, as the Gaza
Massacre
almost certainly will.

Israel withdrew entirely from Gaza years ago, but instead of taking
advantage of self-rule, and trying to live peacefully with Israel,
without even a break from before Israel withdrew, Gazans and
especially Hamas continued their policy of sending rockets and mortars
into Israel, 11,000 of them since Israel withdrew, and then when
Israel acts in self-defense, including the blockad, the Gazans whine,
like you whine, about how oppressed they are. That's true gall,
nerve, and chutzpah. Your opening analogy is apt.

Gaza will get nothing but more suffering until it abandons its attacks
against Israel. But the Arabs near Israel have never missed an
opportunity to miss an opportunity. Their leaders embezzle the money
they are given by Europeans etc. and send their wives to life in
luxury in places like Paris (Arafat's wife) while the leaders who
didn't embezzle enough to make them happy go to Paris to beg for some
of the money that Arafat embezzled. If he and the Gazan "leaders" had
spent the money on the Arabs he claimed to represent, as the Europeans
intended, there would have been hospitals, schools, roads, electric
generating plants, desalinization plants. Instead Gaza depends on
Israel for water and electricity and just about everything else.

BTW, food and medicine etc. was never blockaded by land, but cement
and building materials which they use to for anti-Israel miliary
reasons were and continue to be.

Egypt learned; Jordan learned; eventually Gazans and Arabs on the West
Bank will learn, that it's better to make peace than to continue at
war. The problme is that their leaders spend some of the money they
get on war, while stealing the rest, with little left over for the
residents to see the advantage that real peace would bring.

Now, stop spamming this group and post on topic, home repair.

Oh my God! Those Gazans remind me of Democrats! :-)
