The Mrs Will Not Condemn

The Mrs has taken a position on the Israeli military raid in international waters. She remained silent regarding the disposition of the human beings, the ships and the cargo illegally seized by Israel.

"I think the situation from our perspective is very difficult and requires careful, thoughtful responses from all concerned"

"We support an Israeli investigation that meets those criteria."

Which criteria would that be? Careful, thoughtful responses? That's quite the expectation under the circumstances of an illegal attack and Israel's continued possession of the loot.

We are open to different ways of ensuring a credible investigation including international participation," Clinton said, without elaborating.

Let us not hold our breaths in anticipation of an elaboration. Best to use that air for prayers for the victims both on the ships and on the receiving end of the mission.
