The Associated Press: Israel Navy ships turn back boat carrying Gaza humanitarian aid
Talkback
Title:Naval Blockaid
Name:Mike Grubman
City: LafayetteState: California
Its a war, in response to continuing Hamas/Palestian terrorist and war crime acts of purposefully lobbing missiles into civilian towns and cities. Its a blockade, not a blockaid. In a war, you don`t take anyone`s word for it as to what is or is not on the boat, and you don`t waste time or risk lives by making exceptions. The Hamas leaders, once full of bravado, now direct and commit their war while scurring like rats, hiding behind the skirts of woman and shadows of children, and beds of hospital patients.

Darfur? Hutsi/Tutsi? Iraq and Afgan collateral deaths over 100,000 and 2 million displaced? Kashmir? What Israel is doing is justified, and the manner they are conducting the effort is commendable. Use of terms such as "genocide" by the Palestinians and their apologists is totally without merit. Only Hamase advocates same, as to the Jewish people.
