At least Israel is putting out a good PR clean-up campaign. Even the BBC has a relatively "even-handed" report. Things would be even better if we didn't try to be nice.
The flotilla demonstrators who appear in the film attacking Israelis boarding the ship and those found with weapons should be tried and punished, just like any normal self-respecting country would do. They shouldn't be freed. Of course, every single one must now be declared persona non grata and forbidden entrance to Israel forever. Israeli citizens must be tried for sedition. Those who are non-citizen residents must not only be tried but have their rights to live here rescinded. Because it's so easy to move between Judea and Samaria and the rest of Israel, they must be banned from there, too.
The Israeli media continue with the inaccurate loony-Left brain-washing פעילי שלום pi'ilei shalom, peace activists. If I was the violent type, my tv screen would be in smithereens.
"The clash brought tensions with Turkey, one of Israel's few friends in the Muslim world, to a boiling point. Thousands of Turks protested in Istanbul. And Ankara, which had publicly backed the flotilla, withdrew its ambassador to Israel.
Israel defended its actions, saying soldiers being lowered from a helicopter onto the deck of one of the ships, the Mavi Marmara—a Turkish-flagged ferry carrying 600 passengers—were beset by activists armed with metal poles, knives and guns."
This should finally prove that Turkey isn't and wasn't a friend of Israel.
It is just a convenient nearby vacation site and should now be boycotted. Turkey is behind the flotilla.
I'm glad that our Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu came back directly from Canada, instead of continuing to that photo-op with Obama. Now instead of Obama being able to mend fences with Jewish Americans, he has been heard joining condemnation of Israel and demands for an "inquiry." Who's going to provide impartial judging, Goldstone?

Israel doesn't stand alone, Hashem is with her and has been since Day One. But maybe someone here would want to refute that fact and weaken us all.
Al tivtachu bendivim.
good point
Let's ignore the rest of the world and just go according to Him.
Well, yes and no.
Hashem doesn't necessarily reward us for ignoring Him or for dealing with the ugliest of enemies by threatening them with paint guns.
The two are connected, BTW.
Paint guns, rather Ehud Barak, wouldn't you say?
Paint guns? I'd it more than embarrassing it plain inept and the IDF knows better. I agree Israel is by itself as far as world opinion goes but Hashem will never forsake her.
We have to do our part.
