Uzi Dayan: Israel must announce Turkish warships casus beli

Israel must send Turkey a clear message that if Turkish warships are sent to accompany the next flotilla trying to break the embargo on Gaza, these will be considered acts of war by Israel , Uzi Dayan, former deputy Chief of General Staff, told Army Radio Monday morning.

"If the Turkish prime minister joins such a flotilla,” Dayan said, “we should make clear beforehand this would be an act of war, and we would not try to take over the ship he was on, but would sink it.”

“If Israel doesn't make this clear beforehand, the Turks will grow increasingly self-assured, and we may indeed find ourselves facing such a scenario, which could have been averted.”

Uzi Dayan attacked a letter sent by Navy veterans calling for a commission of inquiry as confused and irresponsible.

...for their beligerence and barbarity.

It sounds very hollow when Israel talks about international law which has not been much in focus ever since by the grace of the UN (not God) the "independence" of Israel was declared and established.

I know that revenge belongs to God, and I accept that, the only problem is that I am getting impatient!

I also know that the Holocaust was announced in 1919 and could thus not be anything by a prophesy.  I just wonder when God will fulfil that prophesy or the part of it that remains to be fulfilled?
