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.”

Ayers, Dohrn and Evans should immediately be investigated for ties to a terror group and criminal charges brought.

Of course, THIS administration will probably bestow on them the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

So these three are now working to circumvent U.S. policy in the Middle-East. Good to know.

They are each liable for aiding and abetting a terrorist group against an ally of the United States. I’m sure Ayers and Dorn are aghast at that prospect.

Yep. Smelled a red rat or two when I learned that Bill and Bernadine, the Eichmann and Ilsa Koch of the communists, were in Egypt months ago.

Just a little red family outing - right?

One of the greatest failures in American justice is the failure to put these two terrorists/traitors in jail for life. However, don’t give up hope. There are former police and present policemen who are still after them for killing Officer McDonald in San Francisco many years ago.

Justice may be slow, but it has a long memory. The only Horses’ Ass Fly in the ointment is the present Attorney General, Eric Holder, who prefers terrorists instead of their victims.

November is our chance to stop the marxists from running and ruining our country.

According to page six of my American Passport, they have forfeited their American citizenship.

They should have their passports confiscated and be forcefully ejected out of the country to a Mohammedan hellhole of OUR choosing, say, Somalia.

I wouldn't put it past Ayers to have asked his mate obama to have a word with Turkey about this and see if they can break the Israeli search etc by sending ships from Turkey. It wouldn;'t surprise me either if obama is talking to Hamas through Ayers too and still most American Jews vote for the Dems and still the media will not investigate this but instead be nice to the white house hoping for that personal interview and dinner invite

Yesterday I asked this question since I was busy multitasking:

Has anyone heard that Ayres & Dorhn were involved with the flotilla instigation? I thought I heard this about an hour ago on Steve Marlzberg’s radio show. He was interviewing Ms. Glick, Bebe’s former policy adviser.
