If the siege is over some good might come from this.

However Id be afraid letting the irish ship in is an exercise in damage limitation PR.

Despite the international outrage Israel and more significantly the US care nothing for the views of foreign nations.  They work to their own agendas and sadly nothing else matters.

Anyhow, what does it matter - an illegal attack in international waters, a total act of war. And they think they will get away with it? Well, will they?

Who is actually going to do anything about it though? America wont, which means Britain couldn't, even if it wanted to. The French will make a few noises, but when it comes to real action they hide.
Send the Germans in to finish the job.

Is that a reference to the holocaust? If so, hang your head.

That is a microcosm of the attitude that prevails on this board with some posters when they talk about Israelis.

The yanks and indeed the rest of the world HAVE TO lay the wood to Israel after this action, massive sanctions need to be imposed and however gave the go ahead needs to do some serious time, that said, I have no confidence that the worlds governments will do anything to hold them accountable other than a slap on the wrist.

Myles, your post containing Down South's comment is still visible.

Plenty of Israelis I have met are lovely people and many don't condone the actions of their govt/army.

Also seen on Sky's coverage of the protests in London a group of Orthodox/ Hassedic adding their condemnation of what happened to the Flotilla. 

Heartening.

The speel from the Israeli spokespeople so reminds me of the British after Bloody Sunday. I fear there won't be a word about this in a week's time. Obama the great saviour has been some let down... useless cnut.   

[magpie seanie]

What would you do if you were Obama seeing as you know it all?

Maybe the truth will come out in 38 years.

As for Obama, the world had great hope for him. Seems he is just another typical US President. Deeply disappointed.

I think Obama has his own problems with the BP oil spill.

Every Government faces multiple problems everyday that needs their attention. Anyway, not too hard to release a Press Statement to condemn the Israelis.
