I think Bibi wants to give “O” an ear-full for the US efforts over the last month - working with UN to try and force Israel to give up their nuclear weapons

"Israeli TV"

That's an unidentified "private station" reporting an AFP story: no credibility

Not an attack. Israel is the de-facto sovereign of the Gaza strip (due to the terrorist group Hamas gaining power there) and they were simply boarding and inspecting the vessel. At some point somebody thought it would be a good idea to bum rush the Israelis’ with the guns and shooting started.

An attack would have just been the ship blowing up with no warning.

Maybe BBC World News TV will clarify the report soon but right now they’re covering the Turkish Grand Prix.

Who killed the six Turkish soldiers at the naval base? Where was that? Any additional information?

How convenient. These people knew exactly what they were doing and the enemies of Israel must have been foaming at the mouth waiting for the trigger point.

This is exactly what they wanted. To spark more problems for Israel.

SKY News is showing some video - sounds like a lot of people are not happy. Those that hate Israel of course. Why would anyone push Israel. They will never learn.

...an Arabic satellite service and a Turkish TV network reported early Monday.

Consider the source. I'll wait for the real story to be reported.

Personally I don’t think Bebe would expend the energy or time flipping the bird to the Marxist in the WH. He’s just doing what adults do—his job.

I do believe, if the report is true, that Bebe flipped a bird to Barack Hussein 0bama

Let it be so!
