I have a question to Israel: Have they informed the US Navy who they are participating in a joint search and rescue mission (Reliant Mermaid done biannually) with THIS week, August 17-22, that they are planning on forcefully stopping these boats full of American citizens and hauling them off to Israel for interrogation? Then what?
What is the US navy going to do when they are RIGHT THERE with the Israeli navy participating in this exercise off the coast of Israel, REALLY close by? If these people are somehow working with Hamas, then that is also against US law. Don`t you think Israel owes it to her ALLY the US to turn these US citizens over to them since they are right there? I don`t think it will look too pretty for Israel to make a stink over this when this would be a MUCH better solution. I`m sure they wouldn`t mind taking Tony Blair`s sister in law on board either since he was so kind to aid the US in the ILLEGAL war in Iraq!
