That's the point I have been making. Times have changed. Israel's critics do not have this year the mainstream support they had last year. Even Turkey, the principal sponsor of last year's flotilla, has withdrawn its support this year.
Really, Israel has been traveling the globe for months bribing/threating/begging people to stop the flotilla.
Obviously Israel still considers it a great threat.
No bribing, no threatening, no begging. Netanyahu and Lieberman have taken a tough line with regard to the Palestinian Arabs and to everyone's surprise, they are having great success in persuading others to support them.
"No bribing, no threatening, no begging."
Sure Israel can get crooked governments to go along with them. But, the people cannot be that easily moved.
