A group of Americans opposed to Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza is raising money online to pay for a ship from the United States to take part in a new protest flotilla scheduled to set sail for the Palestinian territory in September or October.
In an appeal for money posted on the Web site UStoGaza.org, the activists say they are “planning to launch a U.S. boat to Gaza, joining a flotilla of ships from Europe, Canada, India, South Africa and parts of the Middle East.”
They add that the American ship will be named after President Barack Obama’s second book:
We turn to you to help make the U.S. boat, The Audacity of Hope, a reality. We must raise at least $370,000 in the next month. These funds will be used to purchase a boat large enough for 40-60 people, secure a crew, and cover the licensing and registering of the boat. In addition, the funds will subsidize some other costs of sending a U.S. delegation. [...]
From the deck of The Audacity of Hope, we will be in a powerful and unique position to challenge U.S. foreign policy and affirm the universal obligation to uphold human rights and international law.
One of the activists whose name appears beneath the appeal for funds is Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American professor at Columbia whose friendship with Mr. Obama was briefly made into a campaign issue in October 2008 by Senator John McCain.
As my colleagues Marc Santora and Elissa Gootman reported at the time, days before the presidential election, Mr. McCain cited a Los Angeles Times article “about a dinner Mr. Obama attended in Mr. Khalidi’s honor in 2003, and questioned Mr. Obama’s commitment to Israel.”

How appropriate.
Name it after a book he didn’t write himself.

Blow it out of the water. Treat any survivors the way we treat babies who have survived an abortion. Let them fend for themselves.

IS there a Credit Default Swap / Derivative I can get issued on this boat full of dopes? I’d like to get a nice fat payout if the IDF sinks it.
“American Activists Plan Gaza Flotilla Ship Named for Obama Book”
Sink that *ucker. Give the expression “no survivors” a fresh look.
Assuming that they load the ship with all those “Audacity...” books along w/their nominal writer, the glorious one... I’d support it.
Nice free advertising for this looney left group in the NY Times. They were even kind enough to print the website address, and their funding goal.
Best thing of all, is that the numbskulls plan on naming the boat “The Audacity of Hope”, after Obama.
Wonder how fast they’ll get a call from Axelrod, demanding that they change the name of the boat?
I would not give two cents to Hamas, and I don’t know why any decent person would.
Sink OBAMA and the F’n boat he rode in on.
