Israel right to board blockade runners

The Western press, in predictable fashion, is condemning Israel for the incident about the ships trying to reach Gaza. The press are a flock of nonsensical parrots. Israel has blockaded Gaza for a reason, and any vessel trying to break it will be boarded. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Follow me on this, liberals: running a blockade is a bad idea. Perhaps not doing it will stop bloodshed?

Another "flotilla" is planned, and this time the organizers are saying they won't resist if the Israelis board them. Too bad they weren't smart enough to behave like this the first time around.

It seems people are unwilling to seek the sources of these problems. Gaza is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist group that has been firing rockets into Israel for a long time -- killing children and other innocents. Israel reacts to this barbaric behavior with a blockade (and walls, etc.) and the press condemns them.

Okay, let's try a hypothetical situation. The Palestinians stop firing rockets and committing mass murder with suicide bombings. What will Israel do? Will the blockade be lifted? Will the Israelis be more likely to negotiate for a permanent settlement?

I believe 90% of the world's population knows the answers to these questions. It is the far-left, socialist press that fosters the nonsense. To wit, from the far-left LA Times:

It's understandable that so many of the world's governments have condemned Israel's actions; citizens from many countries were aboard those boats. So why didn't the Obama administration join the chorus?
