Whenever Israel takes action to defend itself, it’s like ringing a bell on a Pavlovian reaction from far too many on the left. Any Israeli defense, no matter how justified or overdue, is seen by the anti-Semitic left as an overreaction, escalation, provocation, or even, a war crime. Happens every time. It is entirely predictable and pathetic that so many liberals fall for the staged manipulation of the allegedly “humanitarian” flotilla. This was a clearly orchestrated propaganda mission and many on the left lapped it up without an ounce of critical thinking. The phrase “useful idiots” comes to mind. Are they useful, or willful, I don’t know.

Question: how many of you who volunteer at a soup kitchen or Big Brother/Big Sister make a martyrdom video before heading over to do your humanitarian work? Well, clearly, you don’t have what it takes to be part of the Gaza flotilla.

Last night I welcomed back Martin Solomon to the WRKO studios. Martin runs a terrific Boston-based blog called Solomonia, which covers anti-Semitism both locally and around the world.

Joining Martin and I was Lee Smith, author of The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations. After the weak and tepid reaction from the Obama administration, Iran announced that it may get into the Flotilla escort business. A direct consequence of a Weak Pony instead of a Strong Horse in the White House.
