I cannot in good conscience endorse the Israelis ramming Cynthia McKinney’s ship.


After all, there may have been innocent rats onboard her vessel. Sure, they can swim - but it was a long way to shore.

It is not a matter of endorsement.

What really matters is the yaught entered a war zone seeking to help Israelis enemies.

They are lucky that is all that happened to them. That ship could have been blown out of the water. The yaught could have also been confiscated and all on board put into prison for the duration. All in accordance to the usages of war.

As it is, all that happened was some feelings and a yaught were hurt.

Israelis take war very seriously.

Call me what you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.

 

I don't know about that

They claim they were shot at. Now, I don’t know if that’s true, but even though I disagree with her party’s platform, I don’t take people shooting at my country(wo)men lightly.

If you read the linked article...

you’ll find it says “Palmor denied there had been any shooting” (Palmor is the Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson). Frankly, I don’t think I’d take too much stock in what McKinney claims, based on her past track record.

Missed that, thanks.

 

Whatever the Isreali public statement was

it would be SOP to fire a shot across the bow of any vessel they were pursueing. I’d parse the statement pretty carefully. The Israelis could easily and truthfully say they never fired ON the vessel while having fired generally AT it to get its attention and signal their intentions. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t blame them, in fact would congratulate them, if they’d sunk it, but they play the media game pretty well too.

I wish they'd sunk it

I don’t care if they are our countrymen. If they’re looking to supply terrorists in a time of war…

They ought to have blown that boat out of the water....

for ramming their boat and I have said it before if Israel is ever to WIN anything they need to start going for the jugular of their enemies!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy
