It is just a publicity stunt, and a provocation. Guess they did not count on the Israelis standing their ground.

Neil Lazarus, the director of an Israeli advocacy website and a former consultant for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, had not real credible argument to make but was constantly diverting the issue from Israeli illegal blockade of Gaza to Libyan hocus-pocus. The whole World knows that Israel killed more Palestinian children with its military occupation of Palestine then what Libya did of his allegation. Just lift the blockade and let the poor people of Palestine live normal life!

Mbach, Israelis standing their ground on what, exactly? Blockade illegal under international law? And you are giving this blockade (you know, the one illegal under international law) an air of dignity why exactly? You know what? For all I know, it might be a publicity stunt, and I don't care less. The state of Israel is perpetually engaged in publicity stunts, so it must be all right. The bottom line is legality, you know.
