LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

America should decry cowardly criticism of Israel

Israelis must always fight for their survival.

Now the Islamic Turkish government, in cooperation with Iran and the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation, is sending boats as parts of “flotillas.” Part of this mission is to land weapons and weapons materials on the shores of the Gaza Strip for Hamas to use in striking Israel.

The Israelis have erected a line of defense against this terrorist strategy. The Israeli military stops and searches all boats headed for Gaza Strip landing areas to make certain that only humanitarian goods are being transported.

This effort has been a cooperative venture between Israel and the Egyptian government. In Gaza, Hamas terrorists mingle with the local population, using them as human shields for murderous acts committed by Hamas against the Israelis. Hamas, as other radical Islamic terrorist groups, seek the total destruction of Israel.

In the recent incident, activist passengers on board one of these boats viciously attacked the Israeli soldiers who boarded the boat to inspect the cargo. This was a premeditated treacherous act of brutality that did not go unpunished.

In addition to retaliating against the terrorist passengers who attacked the Israeli soldiers, Israelis must prepare themselves for combat when any of these flotillas approach.

Meanwhile, the United Nations, European nations and other regular purveyors of anti-Israeli rhetoric aim their usually cowardly criticism at Israel for using overbearing military force against “humanitarian” workers. In view of what actually happened, this criticism rings with disgusting tones of injustice.

American government policy toward Israel must strongly endorse the rights of Israel to protect its vital interests in the region.
