You summarized my two long posts perfectly.

obama HATES ISREAL and we must get use to the fact. alone we cannot survive. the american jews -leaders/people are keeping a low profile. they do not reaize that a weak israel will weaken their position through out the govenrment. A black "illegal" ( we still have not seen his birth cert.) is VERY happy with the siuataion that he has created. He is happy that we suffer, that we get injured and or killed. conclusion..... a black american does not belong int the white house

Obama is not Israel's enemy, he is friends. He is just young and was only senator for a very short time with not any experience he became president too early. He is learning on the job. I have no doubt that he now regrets the speech that he gave in Turkey early in his presidency. From his recent speeches and behavior it can be sensed that he is feeling duped by Islamic world and especially Turkey. An American of any color, race or belief can be president we all respect that. Please stop this racist rhetoric. I know life is very difficult for you living under fire but be cool and intelligent.

How many tons of the cement have been delivered so far?

How Many civilians from any other country would be classified as "combatants when under assault by masked men with firearms, at night in international waters, who picked up whatever was at hand for self- defense? Would you classify an Israeli under those circumstances as a combatant for seeking to defend against armed assault? Or an American who might be packing? This is about an assault on a foreign power in international waters. It had nothing to do with defending Israel.

According to UNRWA cement is being delivered to Gaza along with iron and steel (Steel that can not be used in weapon production) on as needed basis. Last week a UNRWA rep was on the TV explaining this. He did not give any numbers. And if you study the laws, The Helsinki, Geneva conventions about blockades and maritime matters you will see that Israel was totally withing the boundaries of law. Now if you want to criticize Israel from a humanitarian point of view maybe I can not find much to say but from purely legal point of you they did not do anything illegal.

but then they decided that it will cause a humanitarian situation on the ships bcz they didnt come with supply for a week it would have caused even longer drama i agree its a better tactic. but you need to understand that back then in entebe the world liked israel and didnt see it as a rouge state like today ... they needed to think only on what is the best way to do a thing, not about how it will look to the world. our leaders were buffoons back then also there's nothing new there
