The UN has been Pro Arab as well as the Obama administration to the point that it is virtually disgusting. Israel under any circumstance should NOT apologize.

Turkey's demand that Israel apologize for the fatal interception of a flotilla, which attempted to break a Gaza blockade, was rebuffed.
According to CNN: "Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu [said] that Turkey would "cut off relations" with Israel unless "they either apologize or accept an international commission and its report...(The) Israelis have three options: They will either apologize or acknowledge an international-impartial inquiry and its conclusion. Otherwise, our diplomatic ties will be cut off."
An Israel official told CNN that the country would not apologize for the incident. Nine Turkish citizens were killed and several Israeli soldiers were injured in the interception, with passengers saying the killings were unprovoked while Israel said passengers attacked them.
The botched raid in May increased tensions with the United States and led to global condemnation of Israel. The Jewish state says that terrorists were using the port to smuggle in weapons and explosives to use against it.
Israel has eased restrictions on the blockade, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Barack Obama this week.

+21The Arab terrorists in Gaza are supported by Iran that promotes the complete destruction of the Nation of Israel. Israel is literally fighting for its life as a nation.
The UN has been Pro Arab as well as the Obama administration to the point that it is virtually disgusting. Israel under any circumstance should NOT apologize.
The Liberty was a SPY SHIP and as soon as the Israelis determined that it was, in fact an American ship and not Egyptian pretending to be American (spies do that kind of stuff) they stopped shooting and rescued the survivors. By the way, you're old enough to know that even fully marked troops and crafts get hit with friendly fire in wartime. Didn't we shoot Canadian troops in Iraq? We even shot our own helicopters. All this with 21st century communications.
Regarding us in the M.E.: Thank you for clearing that up! All the while I thought we were in Afghanistan to get Bin Laden and eject the Taliban. I though we went to Iraq so that 1. GW Bush could outdo daddy, 2. Get their oil, 3. Give trillions to Haliburton.
You do have proof that Leiberman said that, right?
Reagrding "Israel has nuclear war head missiles trained at the U.S. and has threatened to "take down the world, starting with America" if we fail to support her in her wars, "turn her over to her enemies."" - please post some proof.
Here is something that you apparently haven't seen. It is first-hand testimony of people who saw Israelis celebrating as they watched planes being flown into the WTC.
A friend does NOT steal your military secrets and sell them to your arch rival.
A friend does NOT lie to you in order to get your military to invade a country that had nothing to do with an attack on your nation.
A friend does NOT bomb your naval ship, killing 47 soldiers.
A friend does NOT spy on you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
A friend does not fly jets into your towers
A friend does not bomb your embassies
A friend does not cut off the heads of your citizens and film it for propaganda(Daniel Pearl and countless others)
Islamic fundamentalists and her henchmen are not your friends, only a fool would think otherwise.
But yet these are the people which you have chosen to side with. Where is your conscience?
You should be ashamed.
But yet these are the people which you have chosen to side with."
Why do you think that Islamic terrorists are not Koatz' friends? He/she might very well be one of them.
Stop blaming Palestinians,Arabs,and Muslims for the plight of Jews,put the blame squarley on their own Germanic European cousins like Hitler and others,quit blaming Palestinians Muslims and Arabs
What world are we living in?
You defenders of this barabric act keep repeating the same old tired talking point of 'Defending themselves.
What kind of world would we have if everyone started to make their own definition and meaning of defending themselves? and decide where they feel is international waters and where they feel is their own?
Why should any on country be allowed to do anything they want under the phony bogus interpitation of defending themselves?
Do you know the reason why people like the Palestinians would resort to such extreme actions as suicide bombers? .
Do you think about 60 years ago the Palestinians just got up one morning in a vaccum and said,"Well we have nothing better to do,so lets just hate the Israelis and develop suicide bombers so we can blow up people, because we are born haters and savages?
You folks live in a world of your own a world define by Israel,wherein they are the boss .Always the good guys,or GODs and whatever they say or do is law.
They are AWAYS right,Never Wrong,,ALWAYS the perpetual victm.,.and the world must always see their point of view, always approve of their action ...

I think this has gone on way too long,and is about time Americans people and others start accepting reality and stop being afraid of Israel.
Just becuase one dont agree with some of Israel actions, does not equate to Jew Hating.
There are good people and bad people,nice people and evil people in all and that includes Jews too.Sorry if you feel that there are some perfect people in this world who never do any wrong and is always right,That kind of thinking is not reality it is a farce
And why do you terrorist supporters refuse to admit that there is NO PALESTINE!
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag”.
“When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”.
Propaganda and Lies is what you are paid to post on the internet.
You get your check from the people who's goal it is to spill American Blood.
