Time to Call Out Israel's Bad Behavior by James Zogby http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/74966

"This naval assault was unnecessary, brutal and heavy handed — a crude and disproportionate use of power done to prove a point. What Israel will do now is display the same heavy handedness in their propaganda efforts: they will deny, they will intimidate opponents and they will portray themselves as victims (it helps that they are still holding the ships and many passengers — thus giving themselves time to craft an uncontested response)...The US has too much at stake to play Israeli coat-holder or cheerleader in this fight."
