Funniest part of the story, Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of Tony Blair, is now stuck in Gaza. She didn’t have her passport stamped nor had a visa. She wants to leave via Israel. They are refusing her entry. It’s still up in the air.

Who cares?
This is a story of a non-story.

Last time I checked Israel stopped occupying Gaza in 2005. It wasn’t just the soldiers who left, but all Jews.

Can one detect a measure of Palestinian-coverage fatigue? The fact is that journalists may be interested in Palestinians, but 99 per cent of the population is not.

These are the “Useful Idiots” so described by Stalin with such contempt. The Israelis did the correct thing by essentially doing nothing. Probably the boaters were hoping that the Israeli would at least put a shot across their bows. It ended up being a non-event. By the way, what possible purpose would the 5000 balloons do for the Palis?

it wasn’t editorial integrity that prevented the usual drivel from the msm. we would have been the hapless recipients of overblown coverage of this crappy ship of fools,but the press had other, more important obama foot washing to do. it takes quite a bit of derangement to twist logic and demand that isreal withdraw its vigilance. in securing its borders and shutting off access to those who perpetrate homicidal assaults against isreali citizens, isreal by any civilized world standards is well within its rights. the peculiar notion that it has no right to do this is one of the oddities, among many, of anti-semites. in this through the looking glass world, it is acceptable for hamas to spew a continual stream of hatred against the jews ensuring a new generation of anti-western islamic fanatics. the media by supporting the terrorists in gaza ironically deny citizens freedom from hamas, not isreal. so,one might ask, whose occupation is it.
