This is similar to the Soviet Union in a lot of ways.
I apologise for generalising but I am often struck by how similar Russians and Israelis are to one another. I suppose the majority of Israelis are Russian though.
Similar only to someone who is a complete blind
. And no, the majority of israelis are not russians.
Let's make that clear, i am not shocked because i am offended by the comparison. i am shocked because this statement is totally nonsense and display deep and profound ignorance in everything related either to the israeli mentality, the russian, or both.
In other news, turkey might send battleships to accompany their "blockade breaking" flotilla.
http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART2/601/394.html?hp=1&cat=666&loc=2The thing is, the naval blockade is completely legal, it is the land blockade that is debate able. also, israel have said multiple times that such flotillas are simply a provocation, since they can just unload their goods at israeli ports and those will be delivered to Gaza by the land crossings. my guess, if they do, they wont have NATO to back them and such an action will only further hurt the gradually islamizing turkey.
"the Chair and Vice-Chair of a UN Panel of Inquiry concluded in the Palmer Report that the naval blockade is legal and had to be judged isolated from the restrictions on goods reaching Gaza via the land crossings."
