Another thread full of Americans bowing to Israel...
To be accurate, the flotilla was heading to Gaza, not Israel. -Or is Gaza considered Israel by now?..
Just so you know, if Israel sinks the flotilla and kills Americans, we have to praise Israel for "defending themselves." After all, those flotillas are REALLY dangerous! And, even if Israel kills Americans, we should support them anyway. After all, we can't be "anti-semite" about things...
unfortunately america has been bowing to israel for a long time, even after they blew up one of our ships and killed our soldiers. that was just a pesky moment in history for us, and in no way slowed down our financial aid to them.
you have to remember that lobbies have a lot of influence in america.
i personally find it offensive that obama would threaten any american citizen overseas, but i guess he covers the whole world with his orders now.
embargoes are just a way to try to start a war, without having to declare one. once again, america does not learn from history.
i think the greek government should spend its time working on their own problems, and i think they have a full plate right now.

The Israeli tail has wagged the US Dog for far too long. Time to free ourselves of that set of would be empire builders. It is past time to get out of the entire area until the religions settle their internal and external differences. Then we can go in and sell the oil to the rest of the world to settle our debts.
We've been stopped by the coastguard, their ship maneuvered in front of us and they are now talking to the captain, they want us to turn around," then she says "We are non-violent" but Greek authorities said earlier on Friday that ships bound for Gaza were prohibited from leaving Greek ports.
so why did she say they were non-violent when that was not why they got stopped. they left the port and that was prohibited and is why they stopped them.
The loonies are grounded for now. These kooks were just itching to get somebody killed. I'm sure first site of a Israeli boat and they'd run for the lower decks. Maybe they should go fight the whales like those terrorists do against the Japanese.
US, Canada, Australia, Italy, Austria, Germany, France and the UK are countries that have also highlighted on their foreign websites the legal and physical risks of trying to break Israel’s blockade.
The UN secretary-general’s request “to discourage new flotillas bound for Gaza,” to “avoid undermining the safety of Italian citizens in case they should be found on those ships, as it has been reported.”
so to provoke a confrontation with the Israeli navy means "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" is headed for the bottom of the sea.
The Audacity of Hope? It should be the Stupidity of Dopes.
