And the AP is so disappointed: Israel navy halts Gaza-bound boat without violence. If you read the article in full, you will note that the AP puts objectivity to ridiculous ends by inserting the new boilerplate description of the Mavi Marmara incident:
Israeli naval commandos violently clashed with activists wielding clubs and knives on board the Turkish ship. Both the military and the activists have accused each other of provoking the violence.
Because it’s not like there’s photographic evidence showing Turks attacking soldiers rapelling down to the ship or anything like that.
If you send me to Israel, I’ll stand on the other side and throw one back: Mad Mahmoud is going to throw a stone at Israel from Lebanon. See title.
Mahmoud Abbas wins the Oscar for best actor in a negotiator’s role: The Kabuki theater continues, as Abbas goes to the Arab League and the Arab League gives pretend cover to negotiate and absolutely no real negotiating goes on. The AP breathlessly reports that the negotiations will go on! And while jaw-jaw is better than war-war, the Palestinians won’t be going to war anytime soon anyway. It’s Hamas and Hezbullah that you have to worry about.
Edward Said the terror loving Columbia University professor (deceased) did the same thing with a stone. Who said academics are mature?
Gorilla Boy (John Derbyshire at NRO calls him Little Squinty) goes to Leb border with Israel. Throws rock at Israel. Zahal sniper shoots Gorilla Boy between the eyes. “Honest sarge, I thought he was throwing grenades.”
This would not solve the problem of Iran, for Gorilla Boy is only the lapdog of Khamenei, and genocide is a bipartisan goal of all the mullahs, but it would remind the Mullahs that actions have consequences, and that the Jews are not going to sit and take killing without killing in return. That’s what “never Again” really means, since we know that it doesn’t mean “Nevr again a genocide of the Jews” or “Never again will civilized nations stand by and watch a genocide of the Jews and do nothing to stop it.”
