Op-Ed: Hamas Hunger Strike or PR Strike on Israel?

by Getzy Markowitz

Israeli soldiers being attacked on the deck of the Mavi Marmara. Inset: Getzy Markowitz.

I first heard about the Israeli commando counter charge of the now infamous flotilla while waiting to cross the U.S. border from Canada. As my wife and I listened to unconfirmed reports of casualties, I was reminded of a time while at the same U.S. entry port, I waited on queue along side a Red Crescent ambulance in tow. The West Bank-bound vehicle was being donated by a Muslim group in Quebec, and was subjected to a mandatory inspection as any vehicle would that was crossing into the United States.
