Israel kills to Maintain Blockade

[KukriKhan]

'Israel fell into the trap', yes, that I think is my overriding sentiment. How could they be so unprofessional? I think everybody could've seen this coming. Israel was way too eager to respond to the provocation.

People have died, they've got the martyrs they sought, Israel has been lured into bullying again, it's a pr disaster, Israeli - Turkish relations have been undermined. All the goals of Israel's enemies have been achieved, I'd say.

That's how it looks from here, as well. With the tiny exception that the supplies were diverted to Israel first, as was their insistence.

-edit-
So Israel wins the logistics and tactics games, but loses the strategy and public-relations games.
