Israel’s Debacle at Sea
Israel was dead wrong in launching an attack by naval commandos against a flotilla carrying pro-Palestinian activists who attempted to break the Israeli-Egyptian siege of Gaza. Its government must apologize to the victims, investigate what happened, and move on to honest peace talks with willing Palestinian leaders, like Abu Mazen.
HAIFA – Israel was dead wrong in launching an attack by naval commandos against a flotilla carrying pro-Palestinian activists who were making an attempt to break the Israeli-Egyptian siege of Gaza. That long-term siege, put in place after Hamas assumed sole control of the government in Gaza – breaking with the Palestine National Authority in the process – is a humanitarian catastrophe and a grave moral error.
