Conflict: Following the clash between the "peace flotilla" and Israeli forces on Sunday, two things are clear: One, Israel will defend itself, even if it has to do so alone. And two, Turkey is no longer an ally of the West.
Israel really had no choice but to respond to the clear provocation of the phony Turkish "peace flotilla" that attempted to deliver aid to the terrorist regime now in charge of Gaza. Far from being a fleet of "humanitarian" aid groups, as described in the media, the boats were filled with terrorist-linked Islamist and extreme left groups, bonded by their fanatical hatred of Israel.
And yet the U.N. Security Council predictably condemned what it called the "acts which resulted in the loss" of 10 lives. If it issued an equally harsh condemnation of North Korea's cold-blooded and unprovoked March 26 attack on a South Korean ship, murdering 46 South Korean sailors, we didn't hear it.
Others also condemned Israel. China, which hosted North Korean officials just days after their murderous attack on a South Korean ship, expressed fury. Even NATO vowed a probe of Israel.
But why? The ship that Israel boarded, the Mavi Marmara, was filled with Hamas supporters who were eager if not intent on picking a fight with Israeli forces over Israel's blockade of the Gaza coast. That blockade aimed to keep arms from going to terrorists.
Hamas lobs anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 missiles a year at Israeli civilian settlements, with nary a peep of criticism from the "world community."
As video tapes show, Israel warned the ship not to break its blockade. It offered to let the flotilla land in the port of Ashdod and to deliver any legitimate aid to Gaza. Reasonable requests, all denied.

I have no sovereign standing and may not amount to much on the global stage but as long as I draw breath, Israel is not alone
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. I’m with you.
U.N. ?
NATO ?
Freaking CHINA ??
I call BS on all of that.
This is what happens when there’s an incompetent in the White House. Power abhors a vacuum. It is filled, for better or for worse...
Me too!!!
I stand with Israel till I die, and I will NOT support any US policy or troops that voluntarily and knowingly raise arms against Israel.
I am with Israel and therefor she is not alone!
And, sadly, the United States is no longer an ally of Israel.
Yo Israel. Just kill ‘em, kill every last one. That’s right, there will be no peace until either the filthy Palis kill all of you, or you kill all of them.
Which will it be?
Just do it. ‘F the UN and the Kenyan.
That is right freaking on. Sad and scary, but right on.
I have to say…based on all his history (20 year “church” membership, allegiance to the United States Flag, and hiding his past records) I have come to the conclusion that he’s nothing but trouble and to be frank a liar.
I think we can survive this and repair the damage in 2012 because true Americans are what they are but it’s going to be an up hill battle.
As far as Israel goes…I’m with them 100%...The Bible has said what to do… and That is my guide NOT some pathetic president who can only talk with some clarification using words someone else is putting it on his teleprompter...
I’m sorry…I’ve had enough!!! I respect the Oval Office but not when we have a person in there that doesn’t respect Gods word or the Peoples Constitution!!!!!
A true and very scary statement.
I have mixed emotions on this.
As a conservative libertarian Tea Party member and Ron Paul supporter I’m all for putting USA priorities first and foremost. I see our cities closing fire departments and eliminating police while our shills in Congress are giving Israel and Egypt billions in aid money. We need to take another look at giving away our country to other nations.
If Israel, etc wants to tag along on their own and in total support of USA policy that’s fine, but the USA should not be tagging along with Israel where the tail is wagging the dog. I support them but they should buy from us instead of us borrowing to give to them. They are in better financial shape than we are.
Israel is never alone.
Why is Israel at the head of your list??? Where's the condemnation of Hizbollah, Hamas, Sudan, the IMF, Russia, N. Korea, and the rest of our hundreds of enemies who would love to see us all dead who receive hundreds of billions of our tax dollars on a yearly basis???
Shouldn't Israel be at the bottom of your list???
Forever live Israel, God help us in Jesus name!!!
Israel is alone.
Every commando that bordered had PLO/Hamas in front of them and the hatred of 80% of US Obama supporting Jews behind him.
“I think we can survive this and repair the damage...”
It isn’t him. It’s the hardcore electorate that elected him. (And they still love him, and consider anyone who doesn’t a right-wing ignorant terrorist.)
IMHO

Thank you and me too but, guess what, neither you nor I matter one whit when it comes to Israel.
There is One that has it under complete control and we both know who that is.
