Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of folk from that part of the world – there is so much hatred for one another. It seems they'd rather fight than talk.

Today there was news about Turkey firing stuff at Kurds in Iran.

Sigh.

This is a very interesting post Glenda, all of these articles use very different descriptive language than the ones I've been reading in Oz, 'attack' vs 'boarding action' for example.

Also interesting is the different perspectives from passengers on the same ship: Noorazman Mohd Samsuddin says that 'we took into consideration an Israeli attack and we were prepared to die,' while Ashwad Ismail shares that 'it was an eyeopener to the world… I did not expect Israel to act in such a way because we were civilians.'

Did you read my post on blockade running?

By the way Glenda, sinlaw Mike has won a prestigious BBC award with one of his paintings.

I think there should be a world-wide boycott of products, like citrus fruits from Israel until they stop acting like Nazis and rejoin the community of humans
