The PR School of Foreign Affairs
(Ottawa Citizen-Canada) David Warren - The flotilla was sent, nominally to test Israel's Gaza blockade, really to give Israel a huge black eye, courtesy Turkey's Islamist-leaning ruling party. There was no good response. Once you have psychopaths like the ones aboard the Mavi Marmara prepared, nay, hoping to become "martyrs" in the cause of hurting Israel - there is no "nice" way to see them off. Compare, if you will, the PR operation of Turkey's new ally, Hamas. The organization's propaganda states unambiguously that it exists to remove Israel from the face of the earth, by every means within its power. Meanwhile, it will control the lives of the Palestinians in its custody, executing any who get out of line. And the world queues to supply them with food and clothing and construction materials, thus freeing their budget for the acquisition of more weaponry.
