re: #140 brookly red

OK, this is not an Obama slam per say but I am reading that we are giving another 400 million to the Palis… this could turn into quite a big deal if every few months they rent a coupla boats, run the blockade, get turned away & then hold their hands out and expect to get paid. Bad precedent if you ask me.

Yup. It’s a very bad message to send to the Peace Activists. $400 million from Obama for one attempted kidnapping. They are sure to try this again as soon as possible. This was a huge victory for them. They got a lot of money and a lot of good publicity.
I don’t blame them. Obama could be teetering here. If they do this a couple more times they might get him to pressure Israel on the blockade. They have a winning strategy and it could work.
