Pat Buchanan: Lift the Siege of Gaza
townhall.com via Allahpundit on Twitter ^ | June 4th, 2010 | Pat Buchanan

And today, President Obama should end his and his country's shameful silence over the inhumane blockade of Gaza that is denying 1.5 million beleaguered people the basic necessities of a decent life.

Time to start acting like America again.

That bloody debacle in the Eastern Mediterranean last Sunday was an inevitable result of Israel doing what it always seems to do: going beyond what is essential to her security, to impose collective punishment upon any and all it regards as hostile to Israel.

Israel claims, and film confirms, that its commandos rappelling down onto the Turkish ship were attacked with sticks and metal rods. One was tossed off a deck, another tossed overboard into a lifeboat.

But that 2 a.m. boarding of an unarmed ship with an unarmed crew, carrying no munitions or weapons, 65 miles at sea, was an act of piracy. What the Israeli commandos got is what any armed hijacker should expect who tries to steal a car from a driver who keeps a tire iron under the front seat.

And the response of these highly trained naval commandos to the resistance they encountered? They shot and killed nine passengers, and wounded many more.

But we have a blockade of Gaza, say the Israelis, and this flotilla was a provocation. Indeed, it was. And Selma was a provocation. The marchers at Edmund Pettus Bridge were disobeying orders of the governor of Alabama and state police not to march.

Hey Pat! What about the 10,000 rockets that Hamas has fired into Israel that deny the Israelis the basic necessities of a decent life?

Idiot!

He forgot to mention that the terrorists disguised as peacenics as well as being armed with iron pipes also took a couple of guns from the Israelis (as well as had some of their own) and shot at them.

As well as overcoming 4 of them and taking them down below, one with a serious concussion.

Sure, they should have waited until they entered Israeli waters, put on shot over the bow and if they didn't stop then blow them out of the water.

No way they could say they weren't sufficiently warned.

BooCannon would have liked that I'm sure. More ammo for his antisemitism

The Gazans idea of the “basic necessities of a decent life” that is denied them somewhat by the blockade is the right to the sport of murdering Jews at will?

One of Buchanan’s favorite spectator sports.

“Pat is right..... Let’s get the hell out”

Funny, but I don’t read the this Jew hater you admire saying to “get out”. I see him getting in, picking a side, siding with genocidal Islamics and their enablers.

Do what? Pat’s been an old-school Father Coughlin-style anti-Semite for quite a long time.

Why is it that Pat Buchanan can write very intelligently on any topic which doesn't involve Israel or Jooze, but loses it completely then?

Ron Paul syndrome?

If they worked as hard at making a life for themselves on their lands as they do building rockets to fire into Israel, Gaza (and the West Bank) would look a WHOLE lot different.

Do you remember the first thing these idiots did when Israel pulled out of their remaining settlements in Gaza?

The settlements earned a tidy year-round income by growing flowers, fruits and vegetables in huge greenhouses, which sprawled over large tracts of land to take advantage of sunshine and warmth which was nearly year-round.

The first thing the Pallies did was destroy those greenhouses.

Pat should have to live in the southern part of Israel for a year before he’s allowed to write about Gaza. That is, if he can stand being around the JOOOOOOS that long.

“Pat’s always been anti Semitic.”

I agree. I would have been surprised if he didn’t support anyone on the face of the planet who was going against “the Joooooos”.

And you know this; how?

lIBERALS: "We found no weapons of mass destruction; therefore BUSH LIED!!"

Pat; do you REALLY want to be the one who allows the ship through the blockade that DOES have all these weapons?
