When the man who did it "apolozises" by say it wasn't his fault and that you should be thanking him for not having a bomb on his plane... Well...
Scorn is due. And due to all those who defend him.
He's a pilot. Not a diplomat. The only apologies that really count are those of the government.
Additionally, if this happened in Saudi Arabia, you guys might have more of a point here. Because at least then you know the country as a whole hates Americans.
However, Israel is really the last country deserving of 4 decades of conspiracy theories regarding the intentional murder of Americans.
Israelis love Americans, and everything American. I've seen more American patriotism in Israel then in most parts of California that I've lived in.
This pilot made a mistake in war. A mistake that wasn't directly his fault. We can blame lots of people for this (including, and especially, the NSA or whoever sent this ship there in secret). But the best 'person' to blame is the FOG OF WAR.
