This is very systematic even within Israel. When Jews demonstrate, they are met with rubber bullets and tear gas. When Arabs demonstrate, including Israeli citizens, there always some who dies...

Where do you see any mention to Al Qaueda in the whole Free Gaza site!!???
Israel knows that all they have to do is throw the word Al Qaeda around to get American support. There is no one iota of proof that Al Quaeda was involved.

Israel and Free Gaza both use cheap propaganda to gain support in their own respective turf. It's pathetic!!!

Again, either you're naive or just like to play into your own beliefs,

Now to your argument. I never said that Israel did not have the right to stop that ship. Like the US, Israel is a pluralistic society. You can find variety of views from the far right to the far left. I know exactly who is Hamas and what they stand for, My beef with this operation is the way it was handled. In a matter of fact, that operation cause more harm to Israel than good. Israel could have surrounded those ships with much larger force and should have used water cannons to "soften the target" prior to storming the boats. The fact that 9 people were killed showed that the Israelis were forced to use means that they shouldn't have used in the first place.

I used to think that we are 2-3 years before we hit inflation big time (if not hyper inflation), until I saw trouble is brewing in Europe. Japan is not in good shape either, so who's left? Emerging economies, right? China, India, Brazil... well, not so fast. Those countries did not developed solid domestic markets yet, they solely depend on US and Europe to be their markets, but if US and Europe are in trouble, those countries soon to follow.
I think Stagflation now rather than inflation.

BTW, MikeHO, entitlement is not something the government shove into people's throats. It is what people demand. As I said many times before, find me a law maker who is openly promoting cuts in Medicate, SS benefits, or any other entitlement program while his or her constituents are heading to the polls. I still remember the shouts in town meeting last summer: "Don't you dare touch my Medicare!!"

Contrary to what you think, I'm not a liberal. To me Rachel Medow and Keith Olbermann are almost as bad as Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. I don't like BS period whether it's coming from the left or from the right. I don't view CNN as liberal although I agree that it is slightly left of the middle. However, CNN is very critical of president Obama with regard to it's treatment and response to the Oil spil.
