Israel's defense minister on Monday urged the U.N. chief to shelve plans for a U.N.-backed independent investigation of a deadly Israeli commando raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last month.
Speaking to reporters after he met with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he told Ban the United Nations should suspend plans to set up an inquiry into Israel's May 31 interception of a six-ship convoy heading to the Gaza Strip, in which nine Turks died.
"We expressed our view that for the time being, as long as ... new flotillas are in the preparation, it's p

Does this even make sense?
the entire strategy employed by Hamas seems to be a reprise of Sarajevo. So the Israeli presence on its borders becomes a "siege", the legitimate blockade of a hostile polity becomes "strangling", and Israeli raids in response to missiles fired from Gaza become "terror." Israel is dubbed an occupying power even though it unilaterally retreated from Gaza in 2005, leaving it as a de facto independent city-state. And Israeli inspections in international waters, though legal, become "piracy."
All indications from reliable Pakistani and other sources were that the IHH’s role in Bosnia was not solely humanitarian. The humanitarian cover was allegedly used for keeping alive the Bosnian jihad and enabling it to succeed against the Serbs.
Now what could an Albanian’s interest in the Gaza Strip be? After all, Albanians feel they have so much more in common with Israelis than with Palestinians. So let us be reminded that four Albanians were among the “protesters” in the anti-Israel war convoy to Gaza. Let us also be reminded that the same month saw the arrest of five Wahhabis and seizure of a huge weapons cache in Kosovo, which involved three Bosnians and two Albanians.
So again why bring food or aid by a flotilla from turkey? why not just use the airspace by travelling the aid or whatever by plane?

Duh, Why didn't no-one else think of this. All those lives could have been saved if they had just flown the aid into Gaza International Airport, instead of trying to run the Naval Blockade.

Money or gold sloves any type of problem.
1.Hamas Would asked isreal for a ceasefire, for terms, without telling the isrealis for what reason, even though they can come up with a lie.
2.Paying the price, with either a proxy small war or money in cash or gold.
There you go two solutions.

What are you talking about?
Please elaborate,,
I thought it was Israel who was blockading Gaza, and I thought it was Israel which was expanding Jewish settlements, and I thought it was Israel which was and still is continuing the occupation.
And I thought it was Israel which was treating Palestinians like sh1t because they are resisting from being treated like sh1t?
So once again, what are you talking about?
Did you know that There was no such thing as Palestine in the late 20s or 40s?
Palestine, like israel were both created by the united nations, so in the real the truth both factions are expaninding there empire, tell me why do you support people who beheads of others?

Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour
