When abbreviating a past incident as "a Fren ch solution", I just took a verbal shortcut. I do not comment on the background of the action back in NZ, but just think that to sink the Gaza ships today at night with o crew aboard and still stationed in a harbour is the easiest solution to a critical situation for Israel. Regarding the press and polticians,. it is a fact that in Europe and Germany today the more left you look the more openly people are antisemitic, while hidden antisemitism is en vogue in all the poltiical spectzrum today. The press reports in a way of "lining up with the Palestinians at all cost" and "if it is directed against Israel, then anything goes".
Militarily and legally, the blockade is valid and makes sense, and thus Israel is under legal obligation to enforce it for the reasons I explained earlier. It makes no sense to allow dleivers of items that can be used militarily by a milizary enemy of Israel who describes himself as being at war with Israel.
The day the Palestinians send the Hamas to hell we can start thinking about loifting the blockade. Not one day earlier. Palestinians are respinsible for the chpoices they make. And they democratically elected Hamas into power.
They have a right to make choices. And they have a right to be held responsible for the choices they make.
Beside this simple argument, Europeans and Americans alike have demonstrated neither a sense of realism over the conflict, nor being in knowledge of realistic plans and options for solving the issues. Maybe European and American politicians and the press therefore would be well advised to simply shut up and keep their arrogant stupid noses out of this special business.
