SNIPPET: "Free Palestine Movement, Reporters with Borders say plan to send ship carrying dozens of activists, European MPs to Gaza as early as next weekend"
SNIPPET: "The Turkish-owned Mavi Marmara ship and the Irish-owned Rachel Corrie ship are not alone: Two non-governmental Lebanese organizations announced Saturday that the plan to send an aid vessel of their own to the Gaza Strip as early as next weekend.
In a press conference in Beirut, the Free Palestine Movement and Reporters without Borders organization announced that the ship, which will be carrying humanitarian aid, will include passengers interested in expressing their solidarity, as well as journalists. They said they believed they would be able to "break the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.""
SNIPPET: "Yasser Kashlak, chairman of the Free Palestine Movement, called on "anyone who sees himself as a freeman to take part in this marine journey, which will leave the Lebanon coast this coming week."
A representative of the Reporters without Borders organization said that "the ship will leave the Beirut coast on the weekend with 50 journalists and 25 European activists, including several European parliament members." He stressed that this sail will not be "the end of it".
On Friday, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah delivered a televised speech during an event of solidarity with the Marmara sail to Gaza, which left nine activists dead during an Israeli raid, and called for "a second freedom sail, in order to break the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip." He urged Lebanese people to take part in the sail."

Too bad they can’t drop Helen from Hell in there with the “activists”, then sink the vessel.
Drop her in with these fruit loops for sure. Since when did any US Admin denounce Israel since it was formed? Obama sucks.
Gaza doesn’t want or need the “aid”, they thre out all the crap thats been brought. They don’t want second hand scooters and outdated medicines. They are already well past that stage.
They even opened an olympic-sized swimming pool for kids from what I have read.

SATURDAY, 05 JUNE 2010 12:04 ADDED BY PT EDITOR OMAR GHRAIEB
SNIPPET: Gaza, June 5, (Pal Telegraph) The “future” Lebanese newspaper said today that the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is thinking about heading himself into Gaza to break the siege imposed by the Israeli occupation army and that he had expressed this idea to the official nearby sectors.
The newspaper attributed the information to Turkish reliable sources, assured that Erdogan told the American administration that he intends to demand from Turkish Naval Forces to escort any new fleet of vessels prepared to go to Gaza, but U.S. officials had asked him to wait and study the issue well.”

Report Damaging to Turkish “Humanitarian” Organization/Erdogan Regime Being Suppressed?

“REPORT DAMAGING TO TURKISH “HUMANITARIAN” ORGANIZATION/ERDOGAN REGIME BEING SUPPRESSED?”
SNIPPET: “Islamist extremists recruited by the IHH (in Turkish Insani Yardim Vakfi) masquerading as “peace activists” attacked Israeli soldiers with knives, clubs, chains, stun grenades and firearms when the soldiers boarded the IHH owned and operated vessel Mavi Marmaris as it was attempted to violate the Israeli blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza.”
SNIPPET: “This should not be surprising given that Hamas is the Gaza branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. More interesting is the possibility that the armed “peace activists” were actually part of the Ikhwan’s Secret Apparatus, which for some time has been rumored to have been reactivated (assuming you believe it was ever disbanded in the first place).”

Violence and Humanitarian Aid
INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - IPT News ^ | June 1, 2010 | n/a
Posted on June 1, 2010 3:39:00 PM PDT by Cindy
SNIPPET: “Condemnations of Israel’s commando raid on the flotilla trying to break a blockade on Gaza are pouring in after 10 people were reported killed in the violence at sea early Monday.
Egypt announced Tuesday that it would open its border with Gaza, which Reuters describes as “a major boost for Hamas and a blow to efforts by Israel and its Western allies to cripple the Islamists.” Turkey is threatening to send more ships, escorted by its own navy, while there are fears Hizballah will use the incident to justify a new wave of rocket attacks toward Israel.
Was it, as some suggest, the plan of flotilla organizers all along?
It’s worth remembering why the aid was being transported by sea in the first place. A convoy led by then-British MP George Galloway ended in violence at the Egyptian-Gaza border in early January after authorities delayed their entry into Gaza.
An Egyptian police officer was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen. Egypt deported Galloway, made it clear he was unwelcome there again, and told the convoy it could no longer enter through its crossing. Galloway’s partner in that convoy was the Turkish-based International Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), which helped lead the flotilla.
IHH was a key player in the Free Gaza Movement flotilla. Israeli officials say IHH is tied to Hamas, and even to al Qaeda, and it was banned in Israel in 2008 for being “part of Hamas’s fundraising network.” Court papers in the U.S. prosecution of Abdurahman Alamoudi also tie it to terrorist activity, citing French intelligence expert Jean Louis-Bruguiere’s assessment that IHH played “[a]n important role” in the Millennium bomb plot.
IHH also is part of the Union of Good, a collection of charities run by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The union was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2008 as a terrorist entity due to its fund-raising activities on behalf of Hamas and Hamas-controlled organizations in the West Bank and Gaza.”

“Flotilla Passenger: “I Want to Be a Shahid (Martyr)””
Video description - quote:
idfnadesk — June 03, 2010 — In footage captured on the Gaza flotilla a passenger describes how he has attempted in previous convoys to become a martyr and that “god willing” he will succeed on this flotilla. The Gaza flotilla passengers had presented themselves as peace activists who would not act violently against Israeli forces, however this provides further evidence to the contrary.
In the early hours of the 31st of May 2010, IDF soldiers boarded the ships of the “Free Gaza” Flotilla, after the ships refused to redirect their course. Aboard the Mavi Marmara the soldiers encountered serious violence when, in a preplanned attack, the activists on board lynched the soldiers with knives, metal rods and stole two of their guns. As a result 7 soldiers were injured and 9 activists were killed.

There is a BIG problem for the moonbats; they want to portray the Israelis as violent, evildoers, but the Turks want to make this into a military victory coupled with some elegant martyrdoms.
The two stories do not tally. And guess what - the IDF and the Turks are essentially telling the same story. Where does that leave the moonbats and euros?
A representative of the Reporters without Borders organization said that "the ship will leave the Beirut coast on the weekend with 50 journalists and 25 European activists, including several European parliament members." He stressed that this sail will not be "the end of it".

Iran: Former parliament speaker says jihad flotilla “the beginning of the end for Israel”
He also called Israelis “enemies of humanity.” And he wonders which country is “the real danger” in the region. That’s easy: the one spouting genocidal rhetoric. Also, the one sponsoring Hizballah and Hamas, and pursuing a nuclear program whose level of secrecy and subterfuge alone easily belies any “peaceful” pretenses. “The beginning of the end for Israel’,” from Iran’s PressTV, June 6:
The former speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, says the Israeli assault on the Freedom Flotilla is “just the beginning of the end for Israel.”
He made the remarks on Saturday during a meeting with Press TV correspondent Hassan Ghani, a Freedom Flotilla activist who was recently released by the Israelis.
Haddad-Adel said the attack “opened a new horizon to the world” and that the world can now see the true nature of the Israelis.

“IMAM UNMOSQUED
Ground Zero booster tied to sea clash”

SNIPPET: “The imam behind a proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea this week.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization, according to its Website.
Perdana is the single biggest donor ($366,000) so far to the Free Gaza Movement, a key organizer of the six-ship flotilla that tried to break Israel’s blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip Monday.
Nine passengers aboard the largest ship died in clashes with Israeli commandos, and a new confrontation loomed today, when another Free Gaza Movement ship was due to reach Gaza waters in defiance of Israel.
Efforts to reach Imam Abdul Rauf yesterday for comment were unsuccessful.”

Israel just needs to throw a huge steel cable into the propellers and shoot holes through the sails.
The boat can’t physically dock at the Gaza Strip, so not letting it dock at Israel is fine.
This is all for show because Palestine has no border with the sea. Israel should take this calmly and just disable any such vessel. Of course, they could randomly kill people on these ships, but it won’t help their PR on this.
