I love this, they managed to outrage the planet by gunning down the passengers on food ships, and this is celebrated by Israel supporters as showing toughness.
Don't be a pinhead. My post & image were both in humor and a criticism.
Some of their supporters (namely me) are quite disappointed in the execution of the operation.
I figure that the Israelis will be accused of atrocity whatever they do, so they ought to do what inspires fear and doubt in their opponents. Sink the boat, set it afire, the Rainbow Warrior treatment, whatever(0). It will also give the howling fools something
real to howl about, rather than the usual Pali
fiction like, say, Jenin.
Also, only 9 killed? A pretty good sign, given the numbers aboard and their reactions, that the Izzies were using kid gloves.
One frag in that mob would have killed as many or more than that. Were I in that helo, looking down at those jackals, I'd have dropped my load-out of frags to clear the deck before letting any of my men fast rope on to the ship.
(0) I'd be partial to sinking it far out at sea.
