Two months after an attempt to break Israel's naval blockade on Hamas ended in bloodshed, international “free Palestine” activists are at it again, this time planning a larger flotilla accompanied by an airplane, according to Channel 2 News.
The activists are collecting money in San Francisco to fund the new, bigger flotilla. The airplane is to carry aid in an attempt to portray the journey as a humanitarian mission, despite the fact that aid to Gaza can be transferred by land with Israel's assistance.
The stated goal of the Free Palestine group is to force Israel to hand over Gaza and all land east of the 1949 armistice line to Arab control, and to give Arabs in those areas complete freedom of movement – including the freedom for Hamas in Gaza to bring in goods and people by sea and by air with no supervision.

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. Psalm 137:5, 6
I would not want to be in the flight crew of that aircraft. I’ll also bet that they have a very hard time getting insurance for the cargo or aircraft for that flight.
Unidentified aircraft or an aircraft that refuses cooperate with the country, which air space it enters? I can ask what would happen to such aircraft, if it enters China, or Russia or our air space, but I want. Just shoot it down if it refuses to follow military escort.
but I won’t, not want...
Oh goody! Target practice for the IAF. An air-lift if you will for terrorists. These people are despicable.
I hope one of the ships is an aircraft carrier, otherwise there may be no place to land.
I wonder if there will be an anti-aircraft rocket on one of those boats?The Israelis could get videos of one being shot into the airplane and the world, especially the US government will be aghast at and condemn the dastardly deed done by the Israelis. No one would officially believe the pictures. It might even give the Kenyan the excuse he needs to cut off aid to Israel.
I’d bet the Israelis have as many bulldozers (for pushing over houses...) as they have tanks.
Line up a dozen bulldozers on any available runways, and the blockade-busting aeroplane better have an alternate country/airport lined up...and enough fuel to get there.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I don't understand why this doesn't constitute providing support to Hamas, which is a crime in the USA.
Don’t think of it as donating supplies to terrorists. Think of it as donating a target drone to Israel.
