"So sad that the Greeks are doing Israel's dirty work by not letting us sail," another activist lamented to the Israeli website. "I never knew the Mediterranean was owned by Israel."
Most of the Greek people are sympathetic to the Palestinians. Already rioting over the enforced poverty dictated by their government to please the banking cartels, the Greek people will view Papandreou's stopping of the aid ships is little more than privateering; with Papandreou granted letters of marque against the ships of other countries by Israel.
The Greek may have hoisted with their own petard here because whatever short-term gain Papandreou may have received for his piracy, this will only further enrage the Greek people against the obvious tyranny under which they live, and will turn world opinion even further against Papandreou.
