So the Gaza Aid Flotilla was a failure, eh? Here's how much it "failed."
<<President Barack Obama called on Wednesday for sharply limiting Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip in the wake of the botched Israeli naval raid that's straining U.S. and Israeli relations with allies around the world.
<<The White House also announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.
<<"The situation in Gaza is unsustainable," Obama declared as he met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office. He said the attention of the world is on the problem because of the "tragedy" of the Israeli raid that killed nine people trying to bring in supplies.
<<Obama called for narrowly tailoring Israel's broad blockade on goods entering the Gaza Strip so that arms are kept out, but not food, building materials or other items needed for the Palestinians' daily life and economic development.>>
http://wire.antiwar.com/2010/06/09/obama-calls-for-new-approach-on-gaza-blockade-2/Looks to me like that's the end of the Gaza blockade. And guess who takes the credit for it? Abbas? Noooo. Hamas? Yesss!! This can only solidify the popular support for the "terrorist" Hamas government, which strangely enough happens to be the one the Palestinian people want to represent them, as per their free and democratic vote.
It also looks to me like a rift is opening up between the Israeli racist apartheid government and their chief backer, the U.S.A. When they try to kick ass in the hood next time, they better make sure that Big Brother will have their backs. It's not something that they can continue to take for granted, at least, not as long as Obama's in the driver's seat in Washington. About time the U.S. had a President who acted like he was the President of the U.S.A. and not the President of Israel.
