Gaza Freedom Flotilla Establishes Information Websites

Jerusalem, Israel ---- June 28, 2011 .... The organizers of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla have established two Websites to provide information and daily updates to the media and the general public.

The Gaza Flotilla Website is located at Gaza Freedom Flotilla Website and the Justice For Gaza information Website is located at: JusticeForGaza.com.

Sources tell the Israel News Agency that the organizers of the second Gaza flotilla who come from Iran, Syria, Turkey, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, IHH, Qatar, Libya, Free Gaza Movement (FGM), European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG), US Boat to Gaza, Muslim Brotherhood, were never told that the International Red Cross has declared that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

There is a humanitarian crisis in Syria and Libya, where thousands who have raised their voices for democracy, have been murdered by the dictatorships there. There is a humanitarian crisis in Haiti and in the Sudan - where children are starving to death!

Furthermore, the UN (United Nations) the US, the EU (European Union) and several Western and Eastern democratic nations have voiced opposition to the mission of the Gaza flotilla, namely breaking an internationally legal, military blockade which was created to prevent weapons from getting into the hand of Hamas.

Also - there is no siege.

Thousands of tons of food and medical supplies come into Gaza on UN trucks from Israel every day. And the Egyptian border is wide open.

All the same, the flotilla organizers claim that 10 of the planned 15 ships have already been acquired (Hürriyet, June 19; Agence France-Presse and The Toronto Star, June 20, 2011). In reality, the number of boats now available to the organizers may be smaller. According to the various announcements, there will be 500 to 600 passengers and the flotilla will set sail from Greece on June 28. Some of the delegations (from the United States and Canada, for instance) flew to the region to join the ships anchored there (the Canadian delegation arrived in Greece on June 20). Some of the delegations were supposed to receive training in "passive resistance" tactics in view of possible scenarios for the flotilla.

But again, why is there a "flotilla"?

This "peaceful, humanitarian, freedom flotilla" has absolutely nothing to do with peace, humanity or freedom!

Hamas which rules Gaza has declared that they do not want peace with Israel.

They would rather launch rockets and missiles into civilian towns and cities in Israel.

Why?

Are there Israel troops in Gaza? Only those kidnapped by Hamas. So why then does Hamas want to destroy Israel?

It's called Islamic Jihad or Holy War against Jews and Christians.

Why is there a flotilla sailing to Gaza?

Because dictatorial Arab Islamic states want the world media to focus on democratic Israel and not their own totalitarian nations i.e. - Syria, Iran, Libya - where poverty is rampant and a total lack of human rights exists. Where there is no freedom of the press, where women are treated as second class camels and gays and lesbians are murdered.

The Gaza Flotilla is pure Hollywood. Bad Hollywood. A perverted show to take our minds off the starving in Africa and the oppressed in the Middle East who wish for democracy.

In Israel, we have a different kind of Hollywood, a good Hollywood where Sir Paul McCarthy, Paul Simon, Shakira, Elton John, Madonna, Metallica, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart and others who come to perform to bring people together. The Gaza Hate Flotilla is designed to divide people and create tension, if not even war.

One can ask: "Why does Madonna and Shakira perform in Israel but not in Gaza?"

Because Hamas would not allow Madonna, Shakira or any other entertainer to speak and dress freely. Madonna and Shakira would be stoned to death if they performed in Islamic Hamas ruled Gaza!

So let's take a few oil rich Arab nations which pay for the show, professional US PR firms such as Fenton Communications to get the word out and some very naive activists who do not read newspapers and take the part of actors.

These activists may see this as a romantic adventure. The rest of the world sees it as a tragedy.

IDF sources are now saying that new intelligence information obtained in recent days shows that the "peaceful" activists of the Gaza flotilla who plan to break Israel’s sea blockade over the Gaza Strip later this week plan to kill IDF soldiers who board their ships.

According to the information obtained by the IDF, some of the participants have prepared sacks with sulfur, which they plan to pour on the soldiers as they board the vessels.

“This is a chemical weapon, and if poured on a soldier it can paralyze him,” an IDF source told the Israel News Agency. “If the sulfur is then lit on fire, the soldier will light up like a torch.”

Peace?

For the so called peace, freedom and humanity in the flotilla does not exist when confronting a navy from a tiny, democratic state that has every right to defend herself from bombs and missiles which are being smuggled into Gaza to murder Jewish children. These so called peace activists should be volunteering to feed children in Haiti - not trying to divert media attention away from Syria, Libya and Iran.

These activists should be addressing Hamas and its fund raiser Iran in calling for freedom and democracy in Gaza.

The food, water and medicine is there.
It is the truth and democracy that is missing.

No one apparently care’s much any more. We’ve all gone isolationist, I guess. Check back when we get bit in the arse again. ;-)

Just stop them outside of Israel waters. Don’t do anything but hold them there. No boarding, no arrests, just a simple, “if you cross this line you will be sunk.”

And wait. And wait. And wait. Eventually they will run out of food and fresh water and go home.

I got to visit that "Justice for Gaza" web site.

Of course, for me justice for Gaza means a cluster bomb response for ever RPG or rocket fired into Israel.

Just saying.
