Anywhere on earth, one would have to live under a very big rock or Iron Curtain to not know for over a year people like Hamas, Al-Qaeda, China ally Iran's "MyMood Alibabjihad", and the like have been outright calling for the extermination of not just Israel, but Jews worldwide...on grounds no other reason(s) to exterminate a race are necessary other than being of sanguin impur (not born Muslim and as Muslim extremists define it, a crime even born Muslims can be executed for in many places).
So ab initio the cloy of "epigenetic" competition between Muslims (who need not be Arabic),and inference there are way more Muslims than Israeli Jews, amid implication if the world accepts Muslim extremist statements each accepting individual will stay safe, sounds less like "peace by sacrifice of Israel" than it does foreign-aid supported dictatorial extremist leaders demanding extermination of democracy in their backyard...after all, Israel is hardly made up of just Jews, and that extends to its government, so even minus all Jews wipe Israel off the earth? Needs more work there, extremists.
Moving on, nothing yet appears in autonomous evidence that Israel or its flotilla critics are telling a true story...it's all glaze and fist-banging demands, with tacit nods of the USA government to extremists through saying Israel needs to talk more to its neighbors but not as if an equal. Doubtless, this is because from Bush through Obama, the USA itself is criticized by the same extremists and autonomous humans rights groups for its cavalier use (directly or through contractors) of torture, indefinite detentions, and the repeated "oops!" excuses made when shooting civilians and the unarmed in the vaunted War On Terror...while subsidizing most of the extremist regimes to boot.
While it might be the USA is actually TRYING to be an ally to Israel by keeping USA military reputation away from it, that the USA does (or is imagined as doing) certain things should not be by itself a parallel inference; that, and lack of more competent independent analysis of flotilla-like Mid East problems together with constant lack of USA/EU/UN insistance against calls to exterminate all Jews no matter what, seems to indicate no clear case for or against Muslim leaders or Israel.
For these reasons and to limits of conditions therein described, I continue to refuse to join in efforts to demonize Israel over the Gaza Flotilla incident.
