The fear of uncontrollable escalation is what bothers me. I am trying to just not think about it and get about my everyday work but this convoy of ships has been pressing in on my thoughts almost as surely as they are pressing in on the sea borders of Israel.
I know that one can argue that borders are borders and Israel has the right to defend its own and I know that one can argue that this convoy isn't as "peaceful" as it seems. I mean, how hard would it be to slip in some weapons to the aid?
But seeing the headline "At least 10 deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship." That 10 people who claim to have a peaceful and giving approach would be killed when they probably could have been diffused in a different way. And all this while the ship was still in international waters.
I don't know where this is going and I don't want to know. I want the authorities to sort it out, just please don't let it blow up into another war.
