Indeed they are, Peter.
And herein lies the opportunity for President Obama--currently standing shamefully in the corner wearing the dunce's cap--to redeem himself. If he were to cast his shackles aside and publicly demand that Israel allow safe passage of the MV Rachel Corrie to Gaza, then Israel would have to comply. They can't take on the entire planet no matter how tough they think they are. If they did not comply, and another massacre resulted, the Zionist experiment is then effectively over, and they might as well pack up their things and fuck off back to Florida and New York to their million dollar condos.
MLK was an African American with balls. He would have dragged the Israelis into line long ago. Does Obama have any balls?
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a man with balls. A great statesman at a time when they are sorely needed.
If the Gaza blockade causes a war to break out, then its on Obama's head. He has about 48 hours to decide whether or not he wants to go down in history as a chickenshit coward.
