Death of another ethnic cliche'...
...the clever, far-sighted Jews. The attack on the flotilla was the stupidest thing I have seen in my lifetime. THE STUPIDEST. It beats Arthur Scargill playing bull to Margaret Thatcher's matador by a mile - and I never thought I would live to see anything more stupid than that. It makes every Italian politician, inlcuding Pecoraro Scanio, seem like a positive genius by comparison. It is the abyss; if you made it up, nobody would believe you. The enemy lay a propaganda trap a child could have seen through - and the idiot Israelis fell straight into it. Anyone with half a brain would have left those seaborne morons alone. Sorry, I stand with the Jews, but a government that acts with such total folly when its very existence is at stake may well turn out to be too stupid to survive.

There is a basic problem within the Jewish body, which amounts to two or more antithetical bodies each trying to claim Judaism for itself. The liberal and reform Jews, and the secularized and atheistic Jews, hate the orthodox - who are a major presence in Jerusalem these days - so much that anything that they stand for is anathema to them. That is also why they regard with disgust and horror the Evangelical Christians who remind them of them. Having nailed their colours to the mast with this respect, they are committed to the horrors of abortion even where it should be obvious that it plays in the hands of their enemies - not only the famously prolific Muslims, but also the possibly even more prolific ultra-Orthodox of Jerusalem (who also account for much of the Jewish settlers in the occupied territories). Their numbers in proportion to overall Israeli population keep growing, and this only feeds further the detestation of their enemies - who are further confirmed in their destructive pattern of refusal. As a result, one day soon the West might be faced with an unrecognizably fanatical and religiously obsessional Israel, more like the worst of its enemies than the countries who should be its friend. And this dynamic is practically independent of international pressures; the hatred between ultras and liberals would burn as bright if they lived on the Moon.

It's a matter of a cost-benefit analysis. They should have asked themselves what difference it would have made to admit a few tons of extra materials and a few dozen more haters to a place that already has the Devil's plenty of both; and, on the other hand, what difference it would make if they were sunk or (as in this case) suffer serious loss of life. I'm afraid the answer was obvious: let the morons through and let them enjoy the hospitality of their Gazan fellow morons.
There is a much bigger game being played, of which this was only a diversionary part. While the Turks sent these scum on their way, the UN Assembly, with the ignoble support of President Obama, was passing a resolution demanding a nuclear-free Middle East. This while the illegitimate government of Iran - which should have been under every kind of pressure for a long time now - is building its atom bomb, with the witting and above-board help not only of so-called NATO member Turkey, but even of Brazil! (Whose president Lula is the biggest disappointment in the recent history of mankind, a self-made union man who has turned out to be nothing but a complete empty vessel for all the worst "progressive" notions, plus a touch of anti-white racism which is an unpleasant novelty in Brazilian history.) By playing int the hands of the enemy, the Israelis have allowed this dangerous motion to pass nearly unnoticed - let alone Obama's literally treacherous part in it. I think of all the great political bastards from Richelieu to Andreotti and wonder whether they are turning in their various graves or laughing themselves stupid at the sheer folly of it all.
In fact, I am less pessimistic than you are. Neither you nor I nor anyone else who posted here counts in any way, shape or form as an extremist. I am firmly of the mind that lies in the long run lies fail; and in this case I can remember when I was completely bewildered and bamboozled by the commonplace media narrative. That being the case, the Israelis ought not to lose hope in their ability to make the truth stick.

The only other option - crowding, nudging and bumping - isn't possible unless your ship is substantially bigger and faster than the one you're trying to stop. We're talking something the size of a large, modern frigate or destroyer here. Insofar as I am aware, Israel doesn't have such ships in its fleet.
