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.

Pat should hop aboard one of those Gaza bound boats full of his and Obama’s Muslim bruthas. How come Pat doesn’t mention here how much he likes Obama’s anti-Israel policy?
Danged Zionists! They want to control their own borders!
Now back to those ---- Mexican Catholics the JOOOOOOOOOOOS are flooding our country with . . . [/sarcasm]
Pat can FOAD too.
Well, except that after it was established Father Coughlin supported Israel as a "bulwark against Communism." Pat Buchanan thinks the Israelis run Communism.
Pat’s a long-standing anti-semite. He’s usually pro-America. But perhaps his Jew-hatred trumps his patriotism.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buchanen has a long history of anti-semitism. He and Nixon shared common ground on that one....the Billy Graham tapes proved it.
Yes or no, Mr. Buchanan, will you stop abusing mind altering drugs?
Just thank God Pat never was president!
Where have you been the past several years??? He started this when he ran for President several years ago...
Pat has always been willing to suffer the slings and arrows of fools and cowards in order to speak the truth. God bless him!
I wish I could have read Pat’s scribe in the original German.
So it’s OK with you if Mexicans are smuggling drugs and guns into the US?
Too bad the shark didn’t get him. I can’t believe he is buying into the “poor Palestinian” line. Not the person I thought he was.
Times up, Pat. Go sit with Jesse Jackson and Robert Byrd.
So we should start killing innocent Mexicans to prevent that? Pull a couple dozen truck drivers over and shoot them in the head? I think that the US would be wrong to respond in such a manner.
Their killing Americans so why not...
Pat wrote this week that the reason people in authority hated Joe McCarthy is that Joe’s traitor list consisted of primarily Jews. Also, he said they hate McCarthy for what McCarthy got right.
