Ayers, Dohrn helped organize flotilla group

Former Weather Underground leaders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported.

In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip. About 100 marchers were eventually allowed to cross the border, where they were met by former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.

BigGovernment quotes author Philip Weiss, who wrote that he witnessed Ayers and Dohrn arguing with fellow activists over whether to accept Egypt’s offer to allow a small number of them into Gaza:

“Dohrn said that the principle of ‘All or none’ was a miserable one for activist politics. You always took what you could get and kept fighting for more. A European man in a red keffiyeh screamed at her that she was serving the fascisti. Her partner Bill Ayers gently confronted him and asked him why he was so out of control. Between getting on and off the bus, Dohrn, who wore a flower in her hair, said that she didn’t like the absolutist certainty of the people on the other side of the police barricades, and having been in the Weather Underground, she knew something about absolutist feeling.”

I saw this on Glenn Beck - he also mentioned that Brennan (I think that was who he named) referred to Jerusalem as some other name....a name the terrorists call it. Very scary stuff going on right now.

Dang, I think that calls for a sip of the golden nectar.

If that came to pass, I’d definitely be celebrating.

Brennan refers to Jerusalem as “Al Quds”.

First of all Ayers is just a guy who lived in islambama’s neighborhood. Remember? And sadly, if we could get a solid conservative elected president he, or she, still wouldn’t prosecute these bastards. And there are a lot more than just Ayers and Dohrn who need prosecuting.

am I the only one thinking that obama knew about this ship leaving port, know about his pal on the ship and that obama had been talking to Ayers before this and knew this could undermine Israel while helping Hamas in the world opinion.

Course he can undermine Israel but he uses people like Ayers who has no problem doing this.

The man needs to be investigated, his blackberry looked at and see where is disappeared those couple of times and who has he been in contact with

Al Quds is used in several different contexts, usually islamic military like the Al Quds brigades in Iran.

BTW “Iran” is the farsi version of the word “Aryan” because Persia was believed to be the birthplace of the aryan race. (no aryan race exists BTW)

Yah, wouldn’t it be great if they were on that ship getting their azzes popped with something besides paintballs?

I’ll buy the ammo, I’m good for a couple of boxes of 9mm for those two. Throw the Code Pink broad in there and I’ll spring for some 12ga.

I think we can agree who and what Ayers and Dorn are. We can also agree that they will get a free pass here, and probably would under a Republican president. It’s why the Left continues to win and our nation continues to lose.

Al quds means The Holy in Arabic and is how Muslims refer to Jerusalem.

“My step daughter who just named her peaacock Barak”

Well that does seem appropriate.
