As usual, you are wrong.

He also said, Israel has "international" law on its side ONLY, if it does it every time for every ship.
It cannot pick and choose, or else it is no longer a blockade as written in your blessed "international law".

And who was that said "expert" and what did he/she really say? And what is NPR radio and what are their affiliations?

Have a listen to it yourself.

NPR is essentially of the same spirit as PBS in the United States. It is publicly owned and gets its funding from both public and private sources.
NPR listeners are probably likely to be the most reliably informed people in the United States.

Excellent question.

A lot of people think that either the NRA/gun lobby or the tobacco lobby is the most influential in the U.S. Not even close.

Someone brought up an interesting point while we were discussing this at the office yesterday. LA County has apparently passed a boycott of Arizona over this illegal immigration law brouhaha. But from what one fellow claimed (and I think he's at least partially correct), if LA County had done the same thing against Israel, that would be a violation of U.S. law. I'll have to look up the particulars later today when I have more time.

But my point remains: the tail wags the dog, as far as Israel and the U.S. are concerned. It's been that way for a loooong time, and it'll be that way for a loooong time.

Then I'm surprised that Bob listens to the NPR.

"Both wrong and both right" (Turkey and Israel), not "Israel is totally right", like Bob would like us to believe.

Also, not - supporting terrorists is totally justified, like you would have us believe.

Kind of like the Brown Shirts and the Hitler youth were really informed.

NPR is extremely left wing. The fact they actually had somebody on supporting Israel's side says a lot.

Jag the AZ law is fine. Mexifornia is shooting themselves in the foot here. People from AZ that really impact the So Mexifornia population are affluent enough to leave AZ in the summer and head your way. Much of this money won't be coming. This is a fight your idiot leader should have stayed out of until Brewer gets done kicking Obama's ass. But you are broke and with your current leadership you will stay broke for years to come!!

Many people on NPR have a liberal bend, but if you listen often enough you will also at times, get heads-up honest reporting, that can put Fox News to shame, much less the other Obama brown nosing networks.

Listening to British and Canadian radio broadcast in the evening, on NPR, also gives one another view of how things are reported.
