WASHINGTON (BHN) -The Obama administration is pressuring Israel to apologize for action it took against a Hamas-supported flotilla that attempted to enter the Gaza Strip last year (June 2010 news reports of incident: Part 1, Part 2).
The White House is siding with Turkey in its demand for an apology over Israel's firing upon flotilla activists who were trying to kill Israeli soldiers attempting to board the ships. The Israelis were primarily armed with paintball guns.
"Israel clearly overreacted in trying to detour the flotilla," said a U.S. State Department spokesperson. "Their decision to use deadly force against innocent civilians who were trying to kill them was brutal and uncalled for. They need to apologize."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Turkey's demand for an apology, and sources report he instructed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to tell President Obama to "suck it."
My comments: Wow, Obama is siding with a bunch of fanatical inbred Muslims against Israel - who would have guessed?
