Israel Has Lost Its Moral Imagination
There is reason for Israelis, and for Jews generally, to think long and hard about the dark Hitler era at this particular time. The significance of the Gaza Flotilla incident lies in the larger questions raised about our common human condition by Israel’s occupation policies and its devastation of Gaza's civilian population.

If a people who so recently experienced on its own flesh such unspeakable inhumanities cannot muster the moral imagination to understand the injustice and suffering that its territorial ambitions -- and even its legitimate security concerns -- are inflicting on another people, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Blair: "I am 100% on Israel's side"

I express deep regret and shock at the tragic loss of life. There has to be a full investigation into what has happened. I repeat my view that we need a different and better way of helping the people of Gaza.

There are no questions at all. There have been rockets fired from Gaza, there are people in Gaza who want to kill innocent Israelis. When it comes to security, I am one hundred percent on Israel's side.

21 miles off the coast of Palestine...
Media_httpwwwbbccoukb_gigfz

A ship full of Jewish refugees, many of them survivors of the Holocaust, tried to break the British blockade of Palestine in 1947. British soldiers boarded the ship 21 miles off the coast of Palestine killing three of the refugees and wounding others. It caused an international scandal and was a PR disaster for the British government. It is seen in Israel today as one of the most significant events that led to the founding of the modern Israeli state.
