"Our boats were approached by military speedboats, self-identified as Israel', pointing lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons ordering participants to the front of the boats and to get on their hands and knees," the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission reported.

"Boat communications are being jammed and a SOS was issued."

Israel Army Radio reported that the IDF had begun seizing control of aid ships heading towards Gaza well before they reached Israeli territorial waters.

Staten Island, I am proud to say.

I was acquainted with one of Wu Tang Clan's managers.

Last century they bought her a brand new SUV for the holidays.

BTW: There used to be an excellent pizzeria right near the Staten Island ferry port.

Been decades since I ate there. My friend's mom was buried at the free Jewish cemetery on Staten Island.

"...Iran continues to support groups that carry out attacks killing Jews."

Iran's Jewish community has thrived there for centuries.

The first physical threat to them came from Israel of all places.

What a joke.

NY Rangers and Knickerbockers and terrific club fighters, too.

Fine, thanks old friend.

Two consecutive nights of bridge for me (after I cook dinner and tidy up a bit).

US Ambassador Julie Davis is a career diplomat, not a political hack.

Hi Clownshack

I trust all is well.

Hi Corky

I never tried that whiskey cocktail.

Every coupla three years I seek out an old school mixologist who fashions me a heavenly "Old Fashioned."

Hic!

Jonathan Ross is a filthy murderer.

In NYC shops last century, "86-er" meant potential shoplifter or useless regular customer who never buys anything but takes up our time.

Jonathan Ross will live the rest of his life looking over his shoulder or getting sick after eating out.

Samaritans will recognize him and spit or --- in his food.

Worse for him, Jonathan Ross may end up perforated with ventilation holes in the future. May not be tomorrow or next year, but someone will exact vengeance on this -----.

The other irony is that Iranian ayatollahs issued fatwas against using chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons because such deployment of WMDS would despoil nature.

Meanwhile, the IDF ruined southern Lebanon and caused an environmental catastrophe over the skies of Tehran by destroying Iran's oil facilities. And Benjamin Netanyahu laughed ahead of the cataclysm, warning the Iranians that a "surprise" was coming. The IDF calculated the wind and pressure zones so after their attack the toxic smoke would black out Tehran.

Justice must be the priority of any person, agency, or organization.

"Well, we're not going to investigate mobster John Gotti because he keeps the neighborhood safe ana pays for fireworks every Fourth of July."

or

"What good will investigating Father Giuseppe do? So, he fiddle-faddled with some boys years ago. This priest fills the pews every Sunday. That's what the church needs. Full pews."

or

"You see, ICE doesn't need to be abolished, just reformed. They have have an important national security function of being able to deport undesirables without seeing an Immigration Judge. I proposed legislation requiring ICE thugs can't wear masks."

Hakeem Jeffries admitted to be an agent of the status quo, not an agent of progress for the American people.

Everybody on the planet knew this already.
