Dear El Bohemio News,

The tragic loss of life which took place off Gaza this week needs careful examination if it is not to be repeated. Israel set up a LEGAL blockade off Gaza to stop the flow of arms to Hamas, a group which has fired over 10,000 rockets (explosive missiles not fireworks) at Israel is internationally cited as a terrorist organization.

Peaceful protesters are one thing, but those armed with weapons and night vision goggles are very different, particularly when belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, a known extremist organization. America needs to know and judge that this was not the Israeli military attacking defenseless innocents, but instead armed Islamic militants attacking Israeli soldiers whose "assault weapon" was paintball guns.

It is time to stop playing games and recognize militant Islamic aggression for what it is. In the event it again reaches our I sincerely doubt there will be a public outcry when our military rescues us from their hands.

Sincerely

Richard Irving
