Overstepping the dotted line

Had a conversation with my Dad this evening.  The topic was the recent fiasco with the aid ships.  According to him, it appears that the Israeli leadership surely overdrew their blank check.  And he's pro-Israel, as pro, as no one can ever imagine or dream of.  So when he condemns, I sit back in awe and just listen.  Maybe there is some credibility in his opinion what with having interacted with both, liberal & ortho-conservative Jews in Israel as well back home in the States.

Based on his words, I don't think Israel will find a valid excuse to escape with a slap on its wrist, on this occasion.  Having said that, I still feel there's an Ace waiting to be flashed at the right moment.  Thank God, I'm not a participant in this game of high stakes.
