Decisions have Consequences

I don't really see what the rage is about. Six ships attempted to break a naval blockade, five were successfully boarded however the sixth ship protested by attacking the raiding soldiers with metal pipes, knives and reportedly shot at the soldiers. In any other case, the generic description given would warrant the question, why did the people attack the soldiers. However in this case, the soldiers are Israeli and those attempting to break the blockade are Pro-Hashemite-Palestinian protestors. Obviously in the world's anti-Semitic slant, the Jews are guilty, no questions asked.

When a civilian fights an armed soldier, the civilian is going to lose. Most would call the civilian deluded and probably stupid. However, this isn't case, the Jew soldier is guilty and the moron civilian activist is a saint worthy of honor. Now we can read all about the world's "outrage" over the Jew soldiers actions. It obviously merits an attempt at storming the Israeli embassy in Paris (no surprise, the French are well known anti-Semites). It merits the Turkish ambassador to Israel being recalled, unfortunate for Israel, Turkey is one of two staunch allies, Egypt being the other. It merits 8,000 strong crowd of protestors in Cairo, lead by the Muslim Brotherhood. Except that, the Muslim Brotherhood is really the precursor to Al Qaeda, being that the No. 2 guy in Al Qaeda was at some point a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. So really no surprise here either. Benjamin Netanyahu also cut short his trip to Canada and US to return home to Israel to deal with this matter.

I take solace that at least Obama said all the facts should be sorted regarding this issue. I suppose he'll then issue a statement of his true feelings. Perhaps he learned about opening his mouth and giving an opinion after his disaster white cop is guilty for harassing a black professor incident. I suppose though that after Obama's shameful treatment of Netanyahu on his previous trip that there won't be very many kind words for Israel's actions at preserving her blockade of the Gaza strip. I hope that Netanyahu sticks by his Defense Forces and continues to publicly support their decision while privately finding out whether anyone merits discipline. The world should now know that Israel will protect its sovereignty, even if that means eliminating a few moronic activists that somehow don't believe decisions have consequences.
