Another member of the old gang of six. They only have one logical viewpoint, theirs! Their tactic is an attempt to browbeat and bully anyone contesting their views. As far as the thread goes, the original op quoted a variety of sources an even mentioned the labor party of Israel. Seems to me israel's motives and past practices should come to play, and the attack is actually a fact. So true that Israel paid millions to the survivors and the U.S. government for the damages to that ship, that was deliberately and repeatedly attacked by them, in international waters!
