PHONY PROVOCATIVE MISSION (5)

The U.N. voted to conduct an ‘impartial’ investigation of the Israeli assault on the ‘aid’ ships. Hillary Clinton, speaking on behalf of the U.S., gave her strong backing to that investigation. What a joke! When has the U.N. ever been impartial about Israel? The U.N. is dominated by third world countries, many of them Islamic, and has ranked just below the Arab and other Muslim countries as Israel’s enemy.
　
And what about that 'impartial’ investigation? When it comes to Israel, where are they going to find any impartial investigators? There is no such creature unless one has been living under a rock. The U.N.’s call is like calling on Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels to make an impartial investigation of the Holocaust.

Shmuel Rosner, a Tel Aviv-based columnist, got it exactly right when he wrote: Those countries and organizations now wanting an "investigation" can get the answers they need without having to trouble themselves with a lengthy examination. Here's what happened: The soldiers were surprised by a mob; they saw their friends being lynched; they acted as any soldier would have and should have acted. To save their fellow soldiers, they opened fire. Civilians were killed. It's no cause for pride—but also nothing to be ashamed of.

Prime Minister Netanyahu also got it right when he said: This was not a ‘Love Boat,’ it was a hate boat. And Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said: We need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves.
　
As I wrote before, when they resorted to deadly fire, the commandos reacted the same way any America law enforcement officer would react if attacked with knives, iron bars, clubs or other deadly weapons.
