Gaza Gone Wild

I have been watching some of the furor unfold around the world over the Israeli boarding of a ship that attempted to run a naval blockade, and I have to say that the condemnation doesn't fit the "crime". It is ironic that Mansbridge interviewed Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu shortly before this international incident occurred. I suppose the biggest question that needs to be asked is should Israel have the right to blockade Gaza to prevent a constant stream of rocket fire into Jewish towns? It would seem to me that they should at least have the right to search ships bound for Gaza to ensure that there are no weapons or bomb making materials.

These ships departed from Cypress with the intention of running the blockade, and when the Israeli marines landed on the vessel they were attacked. The activists on board were obviously prepared to meet the Israelis with violence, a very poor decision that was obviously going to escalate the situation. Those soldiers did not land on the ship under orders to open fire. That order was only issued once the Israelis were under attack. If you don't believe that there should be a blockade, does that give you the right to run the blockade and attack the soldiers who attempt to stop you?

We will see how this plays out. I am interested to know if the Turkish government approved this ship to run the blockade, or if this was done independently.

  1. Who will mourn the loss of 400 virgins for these Hamas martyrs?

    4/5 ships had no problem and were peaceful. The last ship planned to resist with clubs, slingshots and the IDF made a mistake by not anticipating the trap on the last ship.

    If a larger group boarded they mob of 30 would have not been able to assault the commandoes who landed in a small number.

    It us funny Russian Navy can't account for released Somaila pirates.

    China, Russia refuse to rebuke North Korea for sinking ship killing South Koreans.

    Geopolitics and our media has failed again.

    No one my friend, no one because that is not news.

    When Hamas executed a few innocent people, there was no outrage and the strangest thing is that the executed were palistinians- where is the outrage, the explosion of news. where are the daily protesters against HAMAS for doing a vile thing.
    When HAMAS raided GAZA demolishing homes where was the outrage the protest against HAMAS for the innocent palistinians. NO WHERE.
    Seems to me, when terrorists enter countries to perform their attacks of terrorism -there seems to be no outrage; no attacks from the media only a bit of news here and there that's all. But when one touches a terrorist the world explodes, the media goes on a frenzy.

    Israel, has survived throughout the centuries and will continue to do so, as always with GOD's help.
    Try to demolish ISRAEL, and you are done by the One and Only-God.

  3. I just thought of a CTV Comedy show to make a come back after the Brett Butt show went off the air.

    1st,the thugs at Palestine House in Mississauga can create a fake business to raise money for weapons to be shipped to their Hamas gay-Murdering thugs back home. They could run a Petro-Can station and the owners can recruit bogus Refugees to train here and set-up fake marriages to get a passport and go back to palestine as suicide bombers.

    The Season starts out with the debut Comedy called "Khorner GAZA" and then the spin-off show
    called the " Jihadi-mooners".

    Bang-zoom,to the moon Allah,to the moon!
