Is this genuine? Israelis celebrate outside the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv last night:

Here in Israel, we have still yet to learn the lesson: We are no longer defending Israel. We are now defending the siege.... Of course, we knew this could happen. On Sunday, when the army spokesman began speaking of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in terms of an attack on Israel, MK Nahman Shai, the IDF chief spokesman during the 1991 Gulf war, spoke publicly of his worst nightmare, an operation in which Israeli troops, raiding the flotilla, might open fire on peace activists, aid workers and Nobel laureates.
The IDF are never going to hang their soldiers out to dry. It would take a government uninterested in retaining power to do that.
Haaretz has taken a pseudo-state line on this one.
Me too - but thats what IL says...
I think that a state of war existing is enough to legally justify taking the fleet.
