Prior to the soldiers' boarding, terrorist were clearly seen (in videos!) donning armored vest and gas masks. the Israeli tactical error due was to faulty intelligence: Israel believed reassurances of Erdogan saying he had everything under control and there would be no problems with the passengers. Israel still trusted the Turkish government as allies and friends. It's easy to believe what you want to believe if you have no evidence to the contrary.

On the basis of these elections, they claim to be 'democratic'. However, the power vested in that person or persons by each country's legal structure varies widely -- and the difference between what seems to be and what is determines the life, death and liberty of citizens around the world.

WHY? A nuclear attack on Israel would leave no real reason to retaliate? Is she really that stupid or does she just think Israelis are?

It is political expediency, willful blindness, and an egotistic certainty of being in control that weaves a curtain of deceit around their activities. In the beginning they deceive only outsiders, but then they deceive even themselves. The enemy, however, is not deceived.

No, no one had to be a prophet to know what the week after the Gaza War ended would bring! The tunnels that remain (not an insignificant number) are open for business, all the humanitarian food and fuel is stacked in guarded warehouses for Hamas terrorists themselves and as a means of controlling the population, and the parades and threats are once again filling the streets and the airwaves.

At 2 a.m., Israeli soldiers began leaving, with their heads high, justifiably proud and at their own pace. So why is Israel not celebrating?
