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.

pity. i'm inclined think they should've allowed them within the 20 mile zone and then seized the boats. that'd have created a disincentive for owners rather than bother trying to convert the opinions of those whose views are fixed. they were definitely right to board rather than sink them though.
