Turkish Terrorists in Gaza—Turkish Terrorists in Manhattan
“It’s better to have a Jewish State that’s hated by the whole world than an Auschwitz that’s loved by it.” (Sign held by a pro-Israel demonstrator last night)
The Wall Street Journal has it right today; the New York Times does not. Ronen Bergman understands more about military strategy than Amos Oz does. Bergman suggests that an understandable form of battle “fatigue” may have accounted for Israel’s decision to send soldiers in as opposed to disabling the ships before they left port—or even allowing them through. In the past, Israel has exercised both options. Bergman goes further. He suggests that Israel may now understand that it cannot reverse its pariah status: “the war over world opinion is over—and Israel has lost.” Thus, Israel will now do what it must do to do to protect its citizens.
