The Flotilla, Gilad Shalit and the Friends of Genocide

July 5, 2011 By 111 Comments

Many media, academic and political responses to Israel’s boarding of the Mavi Marmara on May 31, 2010 were characterized by inaccurate language and factual errors that misrepresented the “Freedom Flotilla” confrontation and supported an unwarranted delegitimization of Israel.

Despite overwhelming video and documentary evidence of the flotilla activists’ radical agenda and their affinity for violence, all too many commentators asserted that the flotilla of Gaza-bound vessels sailed on a purely “humanitarian” mission, and Israel’s interception on the high seas was in violation of international law and the maritime laws of war. Bona fide scholars of international law supported Israel’s actions and debunked the anti-Israel accusations.

The basis for the legality of Israel’s interception of the blockade runners was the fact that Hamas, the ruling force in the Gaza Strip and an organization condemned as an illegal enemy terrorist entity by the US Department of State and the European Union, was in an active state of war with Israel.  In wartime, blockades are legal according to international law.

Hamas officials have repeatedly declared publicly that the goal of their terrorism is the obliteration of Israel.  Hamas’ charter calls for the destruction of Israel, and since its very inception, Hamas has declared war on Israel and has mercilessly attacked Israeli soldiers and civilians. When Israel unilaterally and unconditionally evacuated the Gaza Strip in 2005, Hamas declared a victory for terrorism and a commitment to maintaining the terror war against Israel. Hamas matched its words with suicide bombers, sniper attacks, RPG attacks, kidnappings and thousands of Qassam rockets.  Given Hamas’ commitment to Israel’s destruction, and its relentless terrorist attacks, one must conclude that Hamas is at war with Israel.

Some have argued that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority are yet “state actors” and the maritime laws of war apply only to “state actors.” Thus, Israel’s blockade, being against non-state actors, is in violation of maritime laws of war. But this is a deeply flawed argument, comparable to declaring that since terrorists do not wear uniforms, they must be treated as civilians rather than combatants.

In response to Hamas’ endless and relentless terrorist war, Israel’s blockade is a legitimate restrained and defensive military action; and thus Israel’s interdiction of the Mavi Marmara in May, 2010, was rational, legal, and moral. International law acknowledges that all sovereign nations have the right to defend against aggressors, and Israel has a moral duty to protect its citizens.

Now, just a bit more than a year later, we are witness to a rerun of this same anti-Israel endeavor.  Originally planned for departure in August, 2010, this retread of the “Freedom Flotilla” promises to be bigger and better and more impactful. As though no one learned anything from the first flotilla fiasco, this next generation of “human rights activists,” including a host of American participants on a boat bearing a resonant American name, has launched a new and improved Gaza flotilla 2. As did their predecessors, today’s blockade runners position themselves as “peace activists”  bent on rescuing the oppressed Arabs of the Gaza Strip by breaking Israel’s “illegal” blockade,  averting a looming humanitarian crisis with desperately-needed medical and food supplies, and helping to end Israel’s “illegal occupation”  –  all pure fiction.

Thanks to the persistence, courage, and sagacity of one lone law firm, the legality of Israel’s blockade and of its defensive actions against blockade runners are now so well established that Greece, Turkey, and international insurance companies are having second thoughts about support for, and maritime insurance of, this new Gaza flotilla.  Even the first flotilla’s most ardent supporter, the Turkish terrorist organization IHH, has withdrawn support, perhaps under Turkish government pressure due to the events in Syria. It seems that flotilla 2 may also be in violation of U.S. law, thus rendering participants and material supporters vulnerable to legal action.  Ms. Darshan-Leitner’s legal arguments have found agreement and support in other quarters.  Secretary Clinton and the U.S. Department of State have issued a stern warning to the flotilla participants, indicating that they may face arrest, prosecution and deportation by Israel.  Two members of Congress asserted that American flotilla members could face prosecution in the USA.

As a result, at least one third of the original participating ships have withdrawn from the flotilla and will not try to breach Israel’s blockade.

But what about the flotilla’s putative mission to avert a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip?  Poverty does exist in the Gaza Strip.  There is no perceptible economic development, no industry other than smuggling and the manufacturing of rockets, and there is little opportunity.  But the deprivation that Gazans suffer is by no means a humanitarian crisis. Socio-economic data show that Gazans enjoy a higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality than the world average.

On April 20, 2011, well in advance of flotilla 2’s departure, the International Red Cross agreed.  Ample photos show shops filled with food and bazaars over-flowing with fruits, vegetable and meats.  Some of these photos are published in Arab news sources as well as in American ones.

Recent reports indicate that two new luxury hotels are set to open on the Gaza beach, thousands of new cars ply the roads, there are two new shopping malls, hundreds of new homes are under construction, and the hot-houses left intact by Israel when it evacuated all Israelis from the Gaza Strip in 2005 are now run by Hamas and produce enough fruits and vegetables that Israeli imports are tapering off.  Even Palestinian Authority officials have exposed Hamas’ ruse, acknowledging that 56% of the PA budget goes to Gaza, and branding the “humanitarian crisis” as a fabrication of Hamas propaganda to provide an excuse for smuggling war materials into the strip.[i]

Moreover, established and efficient mechanisms exist for the transfer of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip.  The border between Egypt and Gaza is now open, so cargo could be off-loaded at the Egyptian port of el-Arish, just west of the Gaza Strip. Assistance can also be delivered at the Israeli port of Ashdod, where cargo can be off-loaded and inspected, and then delivered to Gaza.  Far from prohibiting the entry of food, water, medicine and humanitarian supplies, Israel facilitates the daily transfer of thousands of tons of aid that residents of Gaza should receive for free, except that Hamas officials confiscate and sell them for money that they then use to buy weapons for their terrorist activities.  Hamas’ aid theft became so blatant that even the UN had to step in on behalf of the deprived and impoverished Gazans.

In sum, Israel’s blockade is legal.  Breaching that blockade is a violation of international maritime law and an act of war entailing considerable risk of physical harm and legal prosecution.  There is no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the poverty and privation there is in large part due to the depredations of the Hamas terrorist government against its own people.   So if the aim of the flotilla were to help the residents of the Gaza Strip, they could do so by docking at el-Arish or Ashdod, without perpetrating an act of war against Israel by breaching its legal blockade of the Gaza Strip.  And if these “human rights activists” were really concerned about privation and suffering, why are they not aiming their flotilla at Syria where thousands have died in the past few months as president-for-life Bashar el-Assad drowns his “Arab Spring” in the blood of unarmed Syrian protesters, or at Sudan or Iran or Iraq or Arabia where human rights violations are galactic in scope and severity?

    I just loving watching these "flotillas" fall apart at the seams every time they get their credibility stripped away.

    As for any radical leftists, antisemites, neo-nazis and terror supporters, my message for you is: Keep trying to defend the indefensible. You will fail every time.

  • johnmiranda

    It's just a matter of time before israel will be in the history books as a state that no longer exists . America is no longer the superpower that's going to continue supporting the racist israel apartheid state, Without American dollars, israel will be an isolated welfare state. America is more interested in forging it's foreign policy to be in tune with half a billion Arabs who have toppled America's puppet governments

    • mark

      Dream on Mohammed. Most of the money the United States gives to Israel is spent on military items purchased from the United States. One in Seven people work directly or indirectly in the defense industry. The Arabs are given much more then Israel. If the United States stopped giving Money I am sure China orRussia would step in. It would not be hard to find another friend.

        Mark ….get a grip.
        Just which Arab states ( you seem to suggest ALL ) are receiving financial aid??? Saudi Arabia…..Lebonon….Syria…. Irag??? By last count less than meaningful amounts were being deposited to the ARAB portion of the Mid-East. You do know Iran is NOT Arabian do you not. Whereas, ISRAEL received US$ 12 BILLION in arms and straight cash in 2009.
        And…..are you suggesting 1 in 7 Americans work in the defense industry??? Where are you….in Israel???? Or are you just poorly informed.

        • MixMChess

          Israel receives approximately $3 billion in aid annually. The figure you cited for 2009 is a complete fabrication.

          Of course, between 1949 and 1973, the U.S. provided Israel with an average of about $122 million a year, a total of $3.1 billion (and actually more than $1 billion of that was loans for military equipment in 1971-73). By comparison, the Arab states received nearly three times as much aid before 1973, $4.4 billion, or $170 million per year.

          Unlike Israel, which receives nearly all its aid from the United States, Arab nations have received literally trillions in assistance from Asia, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and the European Community.

          Arab states that have signed agreements with Israel have also been rewarded. Since signing the peace treaty with Israel, Egypt has been the second largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid ($1.8 billion annually). Jordan has also been the beneficiary of higher levels of aid since it signed a treaty with Israel (increasing from $40 million to over $250 million annually). Additionally, multi-billion dollar debts owed to the U.S. from both Arab nations were completely forgiven.

          Lest we forget that the U.S. contributed $2.87 billion between 1950 and 2002 to the Palestinians via UNRWA. In fact, 2% of the UN’s total budget goes to UNRWA, while 3% of the total goes to all other refugees in the world. Moreover, the P.A. is one of “the richest of all terrorist organizations” with $8 billion to $10 billion in assets and an annual income of $1.5 billion to $2 billion, according to the British National Criminal Intelligence Service report.

          I guess (as usual) the Arabs are making out like bandits and still want to steal more money.

        • SpiritOf1683

          The US has bankrolled Egypt – the birthplace of Yasser Arafat – to the tune of $80 billion and got Mohammed Atta and Ayman al-Zawahiri in return for that 'investment'.

        • aspacia

          And we have covert boots on Israeli ground. Here is an interesting site regarding foreign aid. Remember, this small state is strategically significant and we can watch our enemies.
          http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/31987…

          Perhaps we should say Muslim majority Middle-Eastern countries instead of Arab. Turks, Kurds, Persian, Nigerian, Libyan, Egyptian, Syrian, et al. Most hate the kaffir first, then they hate each other.

          Most on this board are not ignorant of the facts as you seem to believe. Similar to many liberals, you assume that he more centrist, conservative U.S. citizens are not well-educated.

          Do you realize that your picking unimportant nits, and making assumptions makes it obvious that you are an arrogant a$$.

    • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

      Excellent, excellent point, John. Just like Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa, Israel will cease to exist because it is based on jewish supremacism. Chosen people my ass.

      • Tziona

        ROTFLOL, you reactionaries are all the same, you just cannot abide the idea of free Jews, and the idea of free Jews with guns really perturbs you. You just want us to go back to being scared little yidden who you can push around because we're 'aliens' dependant on your good will. Well suck in your anally retentive ass and get used to it, those cowering little Jews who you could spit on and beat up without any fear of retaliation don't exist any more. But then you know that, you and your kind killed most of them, but the ones that got away and their descendants were hardened in your fires of death and hatred. There is no apartheit in Israel, but we sure as hell won't let reactionary scum like you push us around like you used to – the revolution has already happened, it happened while you were celebrating the deaths of the Six Million, and we won't go back to your ghettos and camps. So watch that cute little ass of yours, DeShawn, reality is not like the fiction you imagine – now the Jews will f**k you back.

        • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

          Has nothing to do with free jews, sir. It's about OUR freedom…we don't like be slaves to the jews. Jews are welcome to be free anywhere they like as long as they are not polluting and corrupting our society as they are now.

          • SpiritOf1683

            You're not aslave to the Jews. You're a dole-blagging Jew-hating unemployed tosser who wouldn't get off his fat backside to do a days hard work.

          • aspacia

            You still have not learned DeShawn; you continue too show how uneducated you are with every post.

            Jews are responsible for a huge number of advances that have bless humanity. What advances have Muslims made in the last 500 years? Zero.

            Use a cell phone DeShawn? Have you read about how it operates and where it is manufactured. The theory that it uses to function was developed by a Jew.

            Here is a hilarious link to Klaven regarding the Jews and their advances: http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=80&load…
            Peruse the list of Nobel Prize winners in science and mathematics. Many are Jews, oh, their might be 1 Muslim.

          • Tziona

            It has everthing to do with Jewish freedom. And you contradict yourself in the same paragraph, you don't want us "polluting and corrupting" YOUR societies, i.e. you put us outside YOUR societies, we are not (in your view) part of YOUR societies, ergo by your own definition we are not free to be part of YOUR societies. Oh, and you have never been slaves of Jews, NOI propogada to the contrary, Jews were not part of the slave trade… Muslims were, and still are, but you don't care about that, you just go after the Jews, it's the lazy option, easier than thinking. Oh, and it's madam not sir, idiot!

          Supporting apartheid I see. Makes sense…you parasites do it in racist Israel. You're damn right the folks in South Africa are better off now…they have their freedom. That's a concept I guess you can't understand. After all the TalMUD says that goyim are your slaves to do with as you please. Sick.

            DeShawn, I am a goy who respects ethnic groups who thrive. The talmud does not declare goyim as slaves; however, the Qu'ran does for the infidel.

        "…because it is based on jewish supremacism."

        Unsaid but nearly certainly thought by DeSchutzstaffel:

        "Which is what I so dearly wish America were based on: [black|white] supremacism."

        Whether it is black or white depends on his choice of wearing his mask ("I'm black, so I can't be racist") or not (the link to VNN Forum on his username).

        • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

          Wrong again, you pitiful organ harvester. America should be a place where everyone can live in freedom, including jews. Unfortunately, jews always insinuate themselves into power and corrup their host societies. It's YOU people who are the supremacists and you KNOW it, so don't give me any of that BS.

          • MixMChess

            No, it is another Muslim blood libel created by fakes. It was disproved, just as the Proticols were disproved, but the libel lives on.

      • montlasky

        Who chose your ass??

      • UCSPanther

        Looks like our resident neo nazi is trying his hand at some hypocrisy. Last time I checked, the denizens of hate sites like Stormfront and VNN were lamenting the fall of Nazi Germany…

        • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

          Hah, you liars keep on accusing me of being a Nazi. First of, I'm black, so sorry, no go on that. Second, VNN is an excellent sourece of info on the jewish question, although i don't support their Nazi or violent tendencies. Third, I REJECT the Nazis for the same reason that I reject Zionist and supremacist jews. I believe in non violence and allowing people to live the way they want. THat's why Israel has to go. If you jews can go back to where you came from and lIved CIVILIZED, without polluting your host cultures or ruining their economies, then I wish you all the luck in the world. Unfortunately that won't happen, because you people cause trouble EVERYWHERE you go.

          • mlcblog

            This sounds like the same racial prejudice I heard when I became acquainted with the black ghetto back in the 1960's. Blacks hating Jews, oh, and Koreans. Anyone who works hard and has money and businesses?

            Making you look bad?

          • SpiritOf1683

            And you're a white-hating Nation of Islam bigot. Those Jewish-invented vaccines were wasted on you. Now go back to your mud hut in Africa, parasite.

          • aspacia

            It is obvious you are black, and not well educated, and probably a high school drop-out.

            Blogger will go where they please, and frankly you are a racist who is big into playing the race victim game. VNN is a joke, and no educated person would use this as a source.

            Jews never attacks their host country, and they lived by the host countries social mores. Jews have helped their hosts thrive, whereas Muslims have not.

            Israel is tolerant, the Muslims are not. This is a fact. Just peruse Jihad Watch for insight. Call names if you wish, but Spence has not been refuted.

          • MixMChess

            I'm still not convinced he's actually black, I think its just a white supremacist posing as a black man to hide behind any "racism" charges.

          • aspacia

            You are right, the VNN site is against all except whites, and calls itself a white only board. How any group believe that 2% of the worlds population, and the tiny state of Israel control the world is beyond me.

            Jews are not smarter than any other ethnic group, albeit they are hard workers who value education, this is their strength, and I admire successful groups not the victim card players.

          • aspacia

            DeShawn, frankly if you are black you should know VNN is a white only board that attacks all groups that are not white. All peoples who are nonwhite are considered inferior.

            I am a Zionist, albeit not a Jew. Jews deserve a homeland have thousands of years of persecution, pogroms, massacres, rapes by the other groups, especially Catholics until recently.

            Why are you afraid of such a hardworking, industrious group–Are they making you look worse than you already make yourself to appear.

            Go rot you worthless bigot. Enjoy your neoNazi and Islamofascist friends you Jewish misanthrope.

      • aspacia

        It is Muslims who are the supremacists. Look at how they treat the infidel nonMuslim, or perhaps the black Muslims of the Sudan. Check some facts regarding the number of blacks sold into slavery by Muslims.

      Just a hint, son: Foreknowledge of the future would be better utilized in betting on the outcomes of the next few World Series. You're missing a great opportunity here.

      "America is no longer the superpower that's going to continue supporting…"

      Correct, and purposely so: HaShem wants back His glory as the one and only true Protector of the Children of Israel.

      "America is more interested in forging it's foreign policy to be in tune with half a billion Arabs who have toppled America's puppet governments."

      Because appeasement has had such a marvelous track record. /sarc

      5. Israelis enjoy freedom of religion
      6. There have been huge Israeli technological advances

      No look at the rest of the Middle-East.

America is more interested in forging it's foreign policy to be in tune with half a billion Arabs who have toppled America's puppet governments

    Wishful thinking out loud! If the USA is no longer a superpower, then please by all means point out what other countries are capable of projecting power anywhere in the world and at multiple locations simultaneously?

    Moreover, if Israel is a racist apartheid state as you like to fantasize to attempt to incite hatred and violence against Israel to help facilitate another mass genocidal holocaust Jews, then why does the approximately 20 percent of Israel’s population that consist of Muslims enjoy the same exact rights, privileges, and freedoms as Jews. Indeed, why are many Muslim citizens of Israel serving as city councilman, mayors, members of Knesset, judges, Supreme Court Justices, ambassadors, cabinet level ministers, etc?

    Furthermore, speaking of racist apartheid, why are Christians and all other unbelievers living in every Muslim majority country in the world, without exception violently oppressed and systematically persecuted when not outright slaughtered altogether. Why are Christians and other unbelievers living in every Muslim majority country in the world forbidden from building new houses of worship and from openly practicing their respective religions? Why are all females living in every Muslim majority country in the world without exception systematically persecuted and oppressed?

    In addition, far from becoming a welfare state, Israel has one of the most dynamic economies in the world and on a per capita basis no other country in the world nearly comes close to competing with Israel when it comes to contributing to the world by creating new and innovative technology. Indeed, Israelis created many of the new technology toys that most Americans and Euroloons have become addicted to.

    In any event, it’s easy to see how you became a mentally incompetent delusional leftist and anti-Semitic bigot, it’s obviously because you aren’t intelligent enough to become anything else.

      Answer: China and the Arab countries ( why do you think the US is opening a dialogue with the Muslim brotherhood and will NOT criticize China

      Does Israel really believe that the US will choose Israel over an entire region.

      Remember that the Egypt interim gov't said NO to US development aid and the IMF loan due to the conditions attached

Indeed, why are many Muslim citizens of Israel serving as city councilman, mayors, members of Knesset, judges, Supreme Court Justices, ambassadors, cabinet level ministers, etc?

      Answer: They are discriminated in housing and education, similar to the Jim Crow laws in the US in the last century.
      Jewish only neighbourhoods exists all over Israel

      Furthermore, speaking of racist apartheid, why are Christians and all other unbelievers living in every Muslim majority country in the world, without exception violently oppressed and systematically persecuted when not outright slaughtered altogether. Why are Christians and other unbelievers living in every Muslim majority country in the world forbidden from building new houses of worship and from openly practicing their respective religions? Why are all females living in every Muslim majority country in the world without exception systematically persecuted and oppressed?

      Answer: Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon

Indeed, Israelis created many of the new technology toys that most Americans and Euroloons have become addicted to.

      Answer: Israel received 6 billion in aid from the US every year and would not exist ( including it's military) without US welfare aid

      Egypt received a mere 1 billion to enter into a "peace agreement " with Israel and not attack Israel

      Where's the 'respect" for the peace agreement now
      Also, the favourable gas agreement.

      Get over yourselves and go back to Europe and Russia and give back the stolen land'

      Bunch of Jew pigs

      The US WILL NOT be there for you in the future.

      Just ask US ally Hosni Mubarak who got the surprise of his life when he was dumped

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Answer: China and the Arab countries ( why do you think the US is opening a dialogue with the Muslim brotherhood and will NOT criticize China

        Uhm…what do you mean the US won’t criticize China and what does the Obama administration like useful idiots opening up a dialogue with the Muslim brotherhood have to do with the USA being the only superpower in the world?

        Does Israel really believe that the US will choose Israel over an entire region.

        Uhm…Israel is our only ally in the region as all Muslims countries not only in the Middle East, but also including the entire Islamic world are the eternal mortal enemies of not only the USA but also all unbelievers around the world, including you and me.

        Hence, while Obama who acts very much like a stealth jihadist predictably hates Israel with a passion and would gladly throw Israel under the bus if he could possibly get away with it, the American people, on the other hand, will not let him do it.

        Remember that the Egypt interim gov't said NO to US development aid and the IMF loan due to the conditions attached

        So what? I mean anyone with half a brain wouldn’t have thrown Mubarak under the bus so fast the same way Obama did ASAP, even though Mubarak had been a valuable US asset for decades. Hence, now we are going to inevitably reap what we have sown, as the Muslim Brotherhood will inevitably take over Egypt. In fact, this strategic blunder may prove to be as dumb as when Jimmy Carter like an unhinged dumb assed loon pulled the Persian rug out from under the terminally ill Shah of Iran in 1979 and thereby allowed the ruling Mullahs of Iran to seize power, when the Shah had been a loyal friend and ally of the USA and Israel for decades.

        They are discriminated in housing and education, similar to the Jim Crow laws in the US in the last century.
        Jewish only neighbourhoods exists all over Israel

        That’s BS, the Muslims living in Israel are the most affluent, educated, and free Muslims living in the Middle East, and Israel, like all countries, has a perfectly legitimate right to tear down houses that violate zoning restrictions.

        With respect to Jewish only neighborhoods, how naïve, ill informed, and myopic could you possibly be? Indeed, please point out a single non-Muslim country anywhere in the world that has received mass Muslim immigration where the vast overwhelming majority of the Muslim immigrants didn’t flat out refuse to assimilate and integrate and instead formed segregated Muslim no-go zones ruled by Sharia as parallel societies within societies and in direct contravention to the laws of the states in which they reside?

        Furthermore, make my day and point to just one Muslim majority country anywhere in the world that doesn’t violently oppress and systematically persecute when not outright slaughtering altogether Christians and other unbelievers living inside their respective countries. In fact, while in Israel Muslims are perfectly free to build thousands of mosques and madrassas and to openly practice Islam, Christians and all other non-Muslim unbelievers, on the other hand, living in every Muslim majority country in the world without exception are forbidden from building new houses of worship and from practicing their respective religions.

        Finally, can you point to any Muslim majority country anywhere in the world that doesn’t oppress and systematically persecute all females, Muslim and non-Muslim females alike?

        Hence, how could you be so gullible like a useful idiot that you would without scrutiny and without due diligence arbitrarily accept as credible the lies of the worst human rights violators in the world? Not only that but also those same human rights violators you are allying with are waging a permanent genocidal jihad of conquest against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel perpetually at the same time, and also a lot of other unbelievers around the world as well? Thus, just how gullible, naïve, and stupid can you be?

            Go back to Europe!? Most Israelis never came from Europe, why should Morrocan Jews, Iranian Jews, Iraqi Jews, Yemenite Jews, Turkish Jews, Syrian Jews, Lebanese Jews, Tunisian Jews, Algerian Jews, Egyptian Jews, etc. who were persecuted for 1400 years by your friends the Muslims, go to Europe?

          • ObamaYoMoma

            Gilad Shalit will disappear after being tortured

            There is no evidence that Gilad Shalit is still alive today and if I was a betting man I would bet that he has already been tortured to death, like Muslims not only in Israel but also all around the world routinely do whenever they capture unbelievers, and the fact that you salute this sort of crime against humanity illustrates that you are severely mentally disturbed.

            Go back to europe

            Israel is a temporary state;

            More delusional wishful thinking!

            Does israel really believe that the "peace deal" will continue with a democratically elected government in Egypt.

            Uhm…a democratically elected government does not equal a democracy, as democracy in the Islamic world is only used as vehicles for the hardest of the hardcore to seize power and impose Sharia as previously occurred in Iran. There can be no democracies in the Islamic world, as democracy is the rule of man as opposed to the rule of Allah and an abomination that must be obliterated. Indeed, just how myopic can one be? Damn!

            Israel is hated by the population of the country that israel has a "peace deal " with.

            The so-called peace deal, which was routinely violated on a regular and routine basis, was only going to last as long as Mubarak was able to maintain his hold onto power anyway. Hence, Obama like a loon facilitating a revolution against him behind the scenes and then calling for his ouster as soon as it materialized, only probably facilitated the inevitable by a couple of years since Mubarak, in his 80s was probably going to die in the near future anyway because it had been reported that he has cancer.

            Nevertheless, the Jewish unbelievers in Israel are hated by the Muslims that live in Egypt, just like all unbelievers around the world are also hated by Muslims not only in Egypt but all Muslims living in the world, as Muslims are obligated per the dictates of Islam to have nothing but enmity in their hearts for unbelievers. So what else is new? Indeed, just how mentally incompetent can you be?

            The third gas line sabotage is a clear sign Egyptians do not want israel as a neighbour

            Again, how dumb can you be? Guess what all Muslims, not just the Muslims living in Egypt, are waging jihad permanently and perpetually against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel per the dictates of Islam, as the creation of Israel is an abomination that must be destroyed, since it was created on land once conquered and occupied by Islam and land once conquered and occupied by Islam must always remain in the hands of the believers. Indeed, you couldn’t be anymore oblivious!

            The "gas deal " is as valid as the "peace agreement

            Why is it shocking that the gas deal is as valid as the peace agreement? Indeed, just how oblivious of Islam can you be? I don’t know where it is you live, but it couldn’t be more obvious that someone or something is intentionally hiding reality from you in order to turn you in to nothing but a vicious Jew hating anti-Semitic bigot and its working, which is why you also arbitrarily accept as credible and without due diligence, the hate propaganda from the worse serial human rights violators and perpetrators of crimes against humanity the world has ever seen. Indeed, you are little more than a walking and talking useful idiot bigot.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon

        Damn…you are even more myopic than I originally first thought. Well today there are hardly any Christians remaining in Turkey as the Muslim population exceeds 99 percent, but the very few remaining that still live there are routinely murdered in cold blood. Plus the few churches that still exist over there have had their property seized by the Erdogan government and they are now forced to pay rent to continue occupying their own property. Not only that but the rent, keeps going up, up, and up. In any event, while you obviously aren’t aware of it, but Turkey is in the process of being re-Islamized again and with the recent election of Erdogan and his AKP Party, the constitution will be rewritten to turn Turkey into another failed Islamic Sharia state.

        With respect to Lebanon, until just a few years ago Lebanon used to be a Christian majority country. However, in recent years over half the Christian population of Lebanon have fled for their lives and today the Christians are a minority and routinely violently oppressed and systematically persecuted when not outright slaughtered altogether. Anyway, why don’t you read Bridgette Gabriel’s book, Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America. Ms Gabriel is a former citizen of Lebanon and now she is a naturalized American citizen after being forced to flee her native country.

        In Egypt, hardly a day doesn’t go by when Christian Coptic females aren’t kidnapped by Muslims and sold to the highest bidder, when Coptic churches, that can’t be rebuilt, by the way, are burnt down, and where Muslims don’t massacre numerous Christian Copts? Indeed, you must live in some sort of leftist cocoon. Anyway, read Raymond Ibrahim’s blog, titled Raymond’s Intersection, which you can access on the main page of this website.

        Israel received 6 billion in aid from the US every year and would not exist ( including it's military) without US welfare aid

        Wow…6 billion dollars in foreign aid! Uhm…what are you smoking? The truth is Israel receives far less than 6 billion dollars in US foreign aid annually. Not only that but the Islamic world collectively receives far more US foreign aid than Israel, and the Islamic world is the eternal mortal enemy of the USA and all other unbelievers around the world including you and me. Nevertheless, why are you only singling out the Jews for condemnation and at the same time ignoring the fact that the Islamic world collectively receives far more foreign aid from the USA? You also didn’t mention all the billions of dollars the USA has spent on military bases and maintaining troops for decades to protect the region’s oil. In addition, Israel is forced to spend its foreign aid in the USA to purchase weapons from US manufacturers at highly inflated prices, whereas foreign aid to Islamic countries inevitably gets diverted to wage jihad against us. In any event, if you believe that Israel could not exist without US foreign aid, then you are obviously incredibly mentally handicapped, as Israel has one of the most dynamic economies in the world and is also one of the world’s leading weapons manufacturers. Oops…that probably made you hate Jews a little more.

        Egypt received a mere 1 billion to enter into a "peace agreement " with Israel and not attack Israel

        Yeah right…Egypt just received 1 billions dollars. Dude no wonder you are a delusional unhinged leftists, you aren’t intelligent enough to be a conservative.

        –continued

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Where's the 'respect" for the peace agreement now

        If you weren’t one of the most gullible unhinged loons on the planet, maybe you’d know that Muslims, per Muhammad’s treaty of Hudaibiya with the Quraish, which was a 10 year treaty that Muhammad broke just two years later to conquer the Quraish, that Muslims never make treaties with unbelievers they don’t fully intend to violate as soon as conditions become ripe.

        In any event, the perpetual genocidal jihad of conquest the Islamic world is waging against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel primarily through their proxy – the so-called Palestinians – is permanent and will continue to be waged perpetually as long as Israel continues to exist, and regardless of any and all fake peace processes used to weaken Israel and to dupe gullible useful idiots like you. Exactly like the greater global jihad at large will also continue to be waged perpetually against all unbelievers as long as unbelievers continue to exist that haven’t been forced to submit to the authority of Islam.

        Thus, while like a useful idiot, you swallow the taqiyya (deception) of the world’s worse serial human rights violators that are guilty of everything they falsely accuse Israel of doing without scrutiny or due diligence like a fool, other people actually know what is going on in Israel is not a conflict at all between Arabs and Israel but instead a permanent and perpetual genocidal jihad of conquest waged against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel by the Islamic world perpetually.

        Furthermore, it is also by far not the only permanent jihad of conquest the Islamic world is waging against unbelievers all around the world, and the fact that you only single out Israel for your unhinged condemnations more than indicates that you are more than just a little bigoted when it comes to Jews.

        Also, the favourable gas agreement

        I don’t have the foggiest idea what you are talking about since I’m not very good at reading the minds of unhinged foreign delusional leftists.

        Get over yourselves and go back to Europe and Russia and give back the stolen land'

        Bunch of Jew pigs

        Yep a bonafide and certified unhinged anti-Semitic bigot, and if you weren’t so completely unhinged, maybe you’d realize that the Muslims that are targeting the Jewish unbelievers in Israel or also targeting you as well, only you are too stupid and dumb to know it.

        The US WILL NOT be there for you in the future

        Wishful thinking! Nevertheless, if the USA isn’t there to protect and defend freedom in the world, who else will do it, the delusional Euroloons, the pissant Canadians, or considering how unhinged you are, the Muslims? Indeed, you are not only an anti-Semitic bigot, but you are an ignoramus as well.

            I can’t waste my time with you, as you have been turned into little more than a virulently obsessed Jew hating anti-Semitic bigot. Not only that, but Israel has perpetrated no 9/11s, no 7/7s, and no Madrid train bombings, plus the more than 17,000 other Islamic terrorists attacks worldwide since the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks all perpetrated by the hands of Muslims against unbelievers and of the same people waging a permanent genocidal jihad of conquest against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel perpetually and also all other unbelievers around the world as well. Now considering the fact that Muslims serially perpetrate crimes against humanity against not only Jews but also against all other unbelievers alike all around the world, how can someone become so delusional that they would arbitrarily accept as being credible without due diligence the deceptive hate propaganda meant to incite hatred and violence against Israel in order to facilitate another mass genocidal holocaust of Jews and massive crime against humanity and from the same people that are guilty of perpetrating so many thousands of Islamic terrorist attacks and crimes against humanity against unbelievers all around the world? One has to be pretty damn delusional to be that stupid. Hence, seek mental help for your severe problems with Jew hatred and with reality, as you are as severely, severely delusional as the worse schizophrenic.

        "They are discriminated in housing and education, similar to the Jim Crow laws in the US in the last century. Jewish only neighbourhoods exists all over Israel."

        WRONG, you are confusing private vs. public land. Jewish-only neighborhoods exist on privately owned land. Of the total area of Israel, 92% belongs to the State and is managed by the Land Management Authority. It is not for sale to anyone, Jew or Arab. However, it can be leased by anyone, regardless of race, religion or sex. All Arab citizens of Israel are eligible to lease government land.

        The remaining 8% is privately owned. The Arab Waqf (the Muslim charitable endowment), for example, owns land that is for the express use and benefit of Muslim Arabs ONLY.

I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will strike your bow from you left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to Cleanse the Land. All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I am glorified will be a memorable day for them. There may be battles before this, but the ultimate outcome will be the destruction of all Israel's enemies…Bank on It!

    Well… as a European i can safely say that most people here are for the flotilla, but then again, most people here in Europe are leftist idiots and are running us to the ground. Of course… Europeans only get the muslim side of the story, because there are so many muslims here. Jews are mostly emigrating away from Europe due to the hateful atmhosphere caused by leftists and muslim immigrants. In fact, many jews claim they no longer feel safe in Sweden, of all places, and the UK is reporting rising violence against jews.

    Of course, leftist and muslims alike discard such news and say ,,well… maybe Israel shouldn't be so evil then,,.

    I really would like to leave Europe, but where would i go? America is not faring much better. My country is run by leftist idiots who tour the world showing support for Palestine, while ignoring greater humanitarian crisis and a crumbling debt gripping our country, and they only answer the collapsing job market with more taxes, more welfare.

    • ziontruth

      "…but then again, most people here in Europe are leftist idiots and are running us to the ground."

      Are you serious? For any given country, this should be far more a cause of worry than a nuclear missile aimed at it.

      I've always maintained (regarding Britain, as an example) that if the typical Guardian reader is anything close to being the majority of Brits, then the United Kingdom can safely be pronounced as doomed. I have not seen evidence so far that this is the case with Britain, despite the dismal state of affairs there. Are you saying there are European states in a worse situation than Britain?

      "I really would like to leave Europe, but where would i go? America is not faring much better."

      That sounds like something I hear addressed to me (I'm an Israeli Jew): They ask me why I stay in Israel in the face of all the existential dangers. My reply is that no part of the world today is free of these dangers, so the sanest choice to stay in what's yours, yours to defend and (God forbid) to die with your boots on.

      I don't know if it's much help, but I think that in our turbulent times pretty much everyone is better off defending what they can call their own. Good luck, and here's hoping we live to see both Marxism and Islam go the same route to the trashcan of history as Nazism did.

      The Nazis’ objective was the systematic extermination of every Jew in Europe. Israel is seeking peace with its Palestinian neighbors.

      The comparison between Israeli and Nazi tactics is ludicrous. Given that Israel uses more restraint than any other nation-including democracies– has used against far less provocation. It has tried "valiantly to maintain humanitarian values and spare innocent civilians in the face of a terrorist war of extermination." The Nazi goal, in contrast, was to enslave, starve and exterminate all its enemies, Jews and enemy peoples alike. The Nazis showed no concern for civilian populations.

      "Zionism is a WHITE Jewish supremacist movement…"

      History fail again. Consistently, as Marxists always do (else how could they be Marxists)?

      Zionism is Jewish nationalism. Zionism is about the Jewish nation establishing a state for themselves on their one and only indigenous territory in the world, Palestine.

      Zionism has nothing to do with race. Jewishness has nothing to do with race. A Jew is someone who either 1) was born to a Jewish mother, or 2) has undergone Orthodox conversion. The second criterion is the reason why Jews today span all the human physical appearances from the Ethiopian Jews to the Scandinavian ones.

      Zionism is not supremacist, unless you think the right of a nation to enjoy safety and security through exclusive political rights in a state confined within its indigenous territory constitutes supremacism. If that is the case, then you are a Marxist agent of sedition; it is you who are the perpetrator of injustice here, by virtue of denying nations their right to be free of demographic encroachment on their own soil.

      "The nazis were a test run."

      No, Marxist scum. The Nazis were your staunch friends and allies right up until the moment they decided to set foot on Russia's turf. Only then did you disavow your affinity with them and claim them as sworn enemies. Yet even today you have the same goal as they had: The subjugation of the world to your dystopian ideology. So do the Muslims have that goal.

      "They've even got about 40 percent of the world's Jews inside a boxcar called Israel. You're really not going to like what comes next."

      I presume you take after Hassan Nasrallah, chief of Hezbollah (may he have a gay time with Osama soon, amen), who remarked that it was good to have all the Jews in one place so as to make it easy for the Muslims to kill them all. Yes, we know very well that, when Adolf did himself in in his bunker, he then passed the torch, figuratively, to the Muslims, whose leader the Mufti Haj Amin El-Husseini had assured him, as a faithful friend, that he saw eye to eye with him as far as the Jewish Problem and its Final Solution were concerned.

      We know. We who are just a little versed in history beyond the Marxist propaganda-lies know all about these unholy alliances, past and present.

      There is nothing "white" about the Zionist Revoution, the majority of Israeli Jews are not European, and have never had anything to do with Europe. Ethiopian Jews, Yemenite Jews, Moroccan Jews, and Indo-Iraqi Jews (like myself) are all as committed to Zionism as any blond blued Ashkenazi Jew. As I said to an earlier anti-Semite in the thread, ain't none of us going back to any of your ghettos, be they Italian ghettos, German ghettos, Morrocan mellahs, or Yemenite hara't al-Yahud. There ain't nothing you can do to us now that you haven't already tried and failed to do in the past.

      So now Jews are the new Nazis? That's rich. So explain why they are Nazis when all ethnic groups in Israel are allowed to vote?

      What is your take on the fact that Jordan ethnically cleansed Jerusalem of all Jews, and after 67 Israel did not? How about the 650,000 Jews driven from Muslim Majority lands with zero compensation? What is your take on the ethnic cleansing in the Sudan?

    You know, I wish that other independent citizens might take it on themselves to sink that flotilla. Yeah, maybe SOME would find that illegal, but THEY are the loudmouths who do nothing to prevent the spectacle anyway. While we're out there, kind of like the Whale Wars, shooting American terrorists on the high seas, let's take out the flotilla of media enablers as well. We are tired of hearing from the crudest members of the media denouncing Israel. We ought eliminate that noise besides the friends of Obama on the flotilla. See you down at the docks….

    If someone is against Israeli policies, they're labeled as an anti-semite. I'm against Israeli policies, and I'm not anti-semitic. Someone calling me an anti-semite will get called a Nazi-Jew thug and maybe even a slap in return.

    • Tziona

      Clearly if you are happy to equate Jews with Nazis then, yes you are an anti-Semite. And if that prompts you to slap me, then it just proves my point; anti-Semites cannot bear the idea of Jews not being servile and cringeing in the face of Jew-hatred. You don't like be called on your bigotry? Well tough, get used to it, the tables are turned and we are not your punch-bags anymore. Now it's different boy, you slap me, I'll break your face.

    • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

      Roger, keep this in mind: an "antisemite" used to be someone that hated the jews. Now it's someone that the jews hate. Plus, ashkeNAZI jews aren't even semites, so it's rediculous to use the term.

      • MixMChess

        DNA studies prove that Ashkenazi Jews are not only semetic but are genetically linked to Sephardic Jews as well as ancient Jews from over 3,000 years ago. Nice try with the old Khazar hoax though.

      • SpiritOf1683

        Antisemite fits you, as you hate Jews. Hitler didn't murder enough for your liking. But then again, you're Nation of Islam trash, with a wicked and bigoted white-hating mind to match. And its time your State handouts were stopped, black Nazi.

    • MixMChess

      Criticizing Israel does not necessarily make someone anti-Semitic. Legitimate critics accept Israel’s right to exist, whereas anti-Semites do not. Where do you stand?

    • aspacia

      Many Israelis dislike some Israeli policies. Do you dislike all their policies, or just the ones implemented to protect themselves from their violent neighbors?

  • Andres de Alamaya

    Sorry, folks. Got into this a bit late. So our new resident Nazi is black and talks about Jews polluting America or whatever. Blacks who make up 12% of our population make up over 50% of our jail population. How many Jewish drug dealers and pimps do we have in America. And he thinks things are better now in South Africa. Can we take up a collection and send him there?

      Do the crime, be ready to do the time. Disproportionate? I think not.

    • SpiritOf1683

      Or bettter still, send him packing to Iran, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. And lets glue a kippot to his head and drop him in Mecca.

    • SpiritOf1683

      And it was American blacks who murdered a couple of British tourists in cold blood a couple of months ago. If an area in the US is populated with blacks, the message is simple if you're white: "Don't go there or else you will never come out alive". But it would be racist to point out that simple fact. Another simple fact is that blacks are the biggest academic non-achievers as well as those most likely to go to jail – cold hard statistics say so.

    I am so glad to have read this article. It filled me in regarding the events with the flotilla. Thank you.

    If Americans participate in this mockery of a protest movement–it is sort of like Gobbles crossing over to Mussolini to provided much needed war material– then shouldn't Adam Shapiro and his Palestinean wife be placed in the slammer and the key thrown away?

    He could form a new organization there. Deluded prisoners for early release. Perhaps he could be incarcerated in a state that still has hard chain gang labor?

    Israel gets 6 billion a year ( for now) for just over 5 million jews

    Israel will be history soon

    The US supported Israel in the name of stability when they had tyrants to pay off ( Hosni)

    The tyrants have been topples and many are on their last legs ( just a matter of time)

    It is obscene that Israel was the only country that was begging the US and Europe not to turn it's back on Hosni Mubarak

    Shame on Israel and the jews

    Does israel rally think that the self interested US will choose Israel over 80 million arabs in Egypt alone ( 80 million arabs NOT ruled by tyrants the US is paying to keep in power )

    Israel was delusional to think that the the middle east would remain the same , controlled by US paid tyrants to keep Israel's borders safe.

    Welcome to reality and get a second passport as insurance for when israel will be a bad memory

    The tyrants have been topples and many are on their last legs ( just a matter of time)

    Uhm…just curious, can you point to just one Islamic country in the Middle East that isn’t ruled with an iron fist by tyrants? Hence, as the current crop of tyrants gets toppled in the Middle East, they will inevitably get replaced by the next round of tyrants, as democracy in the Middle East thanks to Islam is an abomination that must be destroyed, since democracy is the rule of man as opposed to the rule of Allah. Indeed, Islam masquerades as being a religion, but Islam really is a very draconian form of totalitarianism.

    It is obscene that Israel was the only country that was begging the US and Europe not to turn it's back on Hosni Mubarak

    Yeah…its kind of ironic that Israel is the only country that is sane since it knows full well what the US, via the insane Obama administration, and the delusional Euroloons will inevitably reap.

    Shame on Israel and the jews

    Why shame on Israel and the Jews? How many 9/11s, 7/7s, and Madrid train bombings, plus over 17,000 Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11/2001 all perpetrated by Muslim have Israel and Jews perpetrated? The answer is zero.

    In Israel, Muslim citizens share the same exact rights, privileges, and freedoms as the Jewish citizens and Muslims are also free to build thousands of mosques and madrassas and to openly practice Islam, while Christians and all other unbelievers, on the other hand, living in every Muslim majority country in the world without exception not only are violently oppressed and systematically persecuted when not outright slaughtered altogether, but also forbidden from building new houses of worship and from openly practicing their respective religions.

    Hence, why should Israel be shamed? Indeed, it couldn’t be more obvious to me that via many years of intense hate propaganda you have been rendered into little more than a pathetic useful idiot and bigot.

    Does israel rally think that the self interested US will choose Israel over 80 million arabs in Egypt alone ( 80 million arabs NOT ruled by tyrants the US is paying to keep in power )

    Maybe Barack Hussein Obama, who for all intents and purposes is a Muslim stealth jihadist, and even if he isn’t one, his foreign and domestic policies are still nevertheless identical and equally as destructive, would be ignorant enough to abandon Israel in favor of Muslims as you are hoping, but in stark contrast to Barack Hussein Obama, fortunately the American people would never let him throw Israel under the bus that way, as Israel is the only reliable ally and viable democracy in the Middle East that adheres to the rule of law and that embraces freedom and human rights for all.

    Look it couldn’t be more obvious that you are completely mentally incompetent, but nevertheless most of those people you call Arabs are also Muslims, meaning that they are the eternal mortal enemies of all unbelievers not only in Israel, but also all around the world as well, including you and me. Hence, we have no other alternative but to support Israel, as Israel is the canary on the coal mine as it happens to be situated on the front lines of the global jihad, and that jihad that is being waged perpetually against the Jewish unbeliever in Israel is a smaller component of the greater global jihad at large that targets any and all unbeliever around the world, including you and me.

    Israel was delusional to think that the the middle east would remain the same , controlled by US paid tyrants to keep Israel's borders safe.

    Dude…if anyone is delusional; go look in the mirror. Anyway, the USA bribed Mubarak to maintain the peace with Israel because it was in the interest of the USA and the West to do so, as the West, just like Israel, is also the target of the greater global jihad at large that obviously you are oblivious of.

    In addition, paying Mubarak off to maintain peace with Israel doesn’t mean that Mubarak was the US’s tyrant! All it means is that the US did what was necessary to pursue our interests, which is to fight and defend freedom and to maintain peace. Apparently, you prefer totalitarianism and tyranny to freedom and peace.

    Not to mention that even though the Muslims of Egypt prefer jihad with Israel to peace, given the military superiority of Israel Vis-à-vis Egypt, the Muslims citizens living in Israel would have inevitably suffered complete and total defeat at the hands of Israel, because Israel could not continue countenancing repeated illegal wars of aggression that were emanating from Egypt and its Islamic allies.

    Welcome to reality

    Dude…you wouldn’t recognize reality if it stared you in the face and spit in your eye!

    "Israel gets 6 billion a year ( for now) for just over 5 million jews"

    Did you even read my comment? You are literally making that figure up. Israel receives approximately $3 billion annually – no more than that. Get a clue.
