De Bad Ju Om Det! Och Israel, Demokrati Som Man Är, Gav Dem det!

Jag tror att många förundras över hur Israel ändå på något sätt hanterar denna massaker på fredsarbetare och hur man får med sig allt från vicepresidenten i USA till diverse vita europeiska liberaler. Alla dessa mycket besynnerliga ursäkter som frångår all logik, all liberalism, hittar utrymme i medierna, in i folks hjärnor.

Man undrar bara: hur långt kan Israel gå innan liberala människors tålamod med Israels ursäktstombola tar slut?

Faktum är att på sätt och vis är Israel en vinnare i detta. Man har visat att man kan massakrera civila på biståndsskepp och kritiken stannar vid att det är beklagligt. Ja, USA till och med verkar acceptera det hela som rätt och riktigt.

I övrigt är detta något som måste läsas: Mark Steel:

It's time the Israeli government's PR team made the most of its talents, and became available for hire. Then whenever a nutcase marched into a shopping mall in somewhere like Wisconsin and gunned down a selection of passers-by, they could be on hand to tell the world's press "The gunman regrets the loss of life but did all he could to avoid violence." Then various governments would issue statements saying "All we know is a man went berserk with an AK 47, and next to him there's a pile of corpses, so until we know the facts we can't pass judgement on what took place

To strengthen their case the Israelis have released a photo of the weapons they found on board, (which amount to some knives and tools and wooden sticks) that the naive might think you'd expect to find on any ship, but the more astute will recognise as exactly what you'd carry if you were planning to defeat the Israeli army. It's an armoury smaller than you'd find in the average toolshed in a garden in Cirencester, which goes to show the Israelis had better destroy Cirencester quickly as an essential act of self-defence...

...But some defenders of Israel are so blind to what happens in front of them there's nothing at all they wouldn't jump to defend. Israel could blow up a cats home and within five minutes they'd be yelling "How do we know the cats weren't smuggling semtex in their fur for Hamas?"
