From Eric Dondero:

Sarah Palin blasted the liberal media for siding with Islamists and the Turkish government in reporting on the Israeli flotilla attacks. Excerpts from her Facebook page, Tuesday:

As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.

Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis...

As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government – led by Islamists these days – sponsored the ‘aid’ operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react – and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”

We can only hope the Obama Administration does not join the anti-Israel chorus in the aftermath of this staged confrontation.

Note - Palin has endorsed a slew of Pro-Israel Republicans in the 2010 primaries, including Carly Fiorina for US Senate in California, Nikki Haley for SC Governor, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Allen West for Congress - Florida, and Rand Paul for US Senate in Kentucky.
