Israel abducts human rights activists

[Mark Stapleton]

Talk about piracy on the high seas.

I may be wrong, but I can't really see that Israel would've jumped upon McKinney without a nod and a wink from someone in the Obama Administration.

I don't think Israel even bothers about a nod or wink. They have proven they are a law unto themselves.

For decades Israel has been allowed to behave like a spoiled brat nation so it's going to be tough persuading them to behave responsibly now. They've never had to do this before. The US has provided unconditional funding, the media has ignored Israel's past indiscretions and the US has obligingly vetoed UN resolutions critical of Israel for years. Other suckhole nations like Britain and Australia have played their part in creating this monster by following the script and excusing Israel's many war crimes by blaming it all on acts of terror by Israel's enemies.

But Israel is mostly a result of US foreign policy. The US must take prime responsibility for the fucked up situation which now exists. Obama must do the right thing by the rest of humanity and pull them into line pronto, otherwise he's just another chicken shit coward.
