THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

" One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! ... not concerned with risks involved ... $10,000,000 available, more if necessary ... make the economy scream."-- CIA Director Richard Helms, discussing plan to destabilize government of Chile under democractically-elected President Salvador Allende

 

Israel to treat Gaza peace boats 'like pirates'

Peace activists planning to land two boats on Gaza's shores are no better than "pirates" and will be turned back by the Israeli navy, officials have warned.

Israeli officials are thought to see the protesters' efforts as a dangerous precedent.

"From my point of view this is some kind of pirate ship," said Shlomo Dror, a defence ministry spokesman.

"You can demonstrate, that's OK with us. But you are not allowed to break international law."

Webmaster's Commentary: 

One has to wonder if Defense Minister Spokesman Dror appreciates the delicious irony when he makes that statement about "...breaking international law."

Israel has been doing just that with the siege of Gaza.
