"Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak today visited the military base of Atlit (Haifa) to congratulate the members of the navy commando that carried out the raid on the Turkish ship carrying pro-Palestinian activists."
"You have carried out the mission we have entrusted to you", said Barak. "You have kept the flotilla from reaching Gaza. People should always remember that this is not North America or Western Europe, this is the Middle East: a region without mercy for the weak, where you don't get a second chance if you don't defend yourself. You have defended your lives. I have seen it and I have heard it from your commanders".
It is true here too. It is just that between us and harm lie two great oceans and the United States Marine Corps.
