What tender concern for the people of Gaza! If they were all Jews, there’d be no concern at all.

What the Obama Administration did was to display repeatedly their utter ineptitude.
So, if they're right to inspect the ships, but not to board them... how exactly are they supposed to enforce the blockade? Harsh words? That doesn't even work for the U.N.
I know that hindsight is 20/20, but, imo, if Israel made any mistake, it was in not sending in enough commandos to stop the attacks without having to use deadly force, but that would have also gotten them criticised for a disproportionate response.
As it turns out, I would not be surprised if the “international community” starts making comparisons to Kent State.
If I were Bibi, I would be telling Europe to “Shut your mouth, you murdered 6 million of my people, and that was just in the 20th century,” and Britain, “You stood by during your mandate, and permitted Arab rioters to murder thousands of Jews, may of whom were not Zionist settlers, but people whose ancestors lived there since ancient times, surviving all attempts of Europeans (Romans, Crusaders, etc.) to wipe them out. So, shut your mouth.”
What a hoot those press conferences will be! Who can guess what Biden will say about anything? He'll be a nice bit of comedy relief until we can get some responsible adults running things.
