We are seeing another Left-fascist axis in our time, recapitulating Stalin's (and worldwide communism's) embrace of Hitler's Germany. The Gaza flotilla crisis was set up by the radical Left (Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jodie Evans and other Obama buds), in collusion with Hamas, which is about as fascist as they get. If you doubt it, watch Hamas TV on the MEMRI website. They are the worst. They teach toddlers about the glories of dying for Allah. Even Fatah thinks Hamas is a throwback to the Dark Ages. In the Gaza flotilla, the Turks who yelled out "Khaibar! Khaibar!" as they...

      [Tous les documents de la rubrique : News] IRAN-GAZA: TURKEY SUPERSTAR !19.06.2010 © IRAN-RESIST.ORG – June 8, 2010 | Since several months, Turkey has appeared in the news as an improvised negotiator in the Iranian nuclear crisis. Lately it took part in the signature of a nuclear compromise with the mullahs. For a week it has become very topical as an emerging actor on the international scene in the world’s thorniest conflict. From our point of view, this Turkey superstar is the outcome of Washington’s will and this can’t be a riskless situation for this country. On the 31...

In a set back to the International Homosexual movement Israeli Homosexuals were shamefully banned by Pro-Palestinian Homosexuals from participating in Madrid Spain’s Homosexual, “Gay Pride” March and events because Israel’s government has not condemned the recent attack on the Gaza flotilla. (see story) "After what has happened, and as human rights campaigners, it seemed barbaric to us to have them taking part," explained Antonio Poveda, of Spain's Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transexuals and Bisexuals. "We don't just defend out [sic]own little patch."—Giles Tremlett So let’s summarize, Spain’s Pro-Palestinian Homosexuals are demonstrating intolerance against Israeli Homosexuals because Pro-Palestinian Homosexuals feel that...

The videotaped statements of two Mavi Marmara crew members show that preparations for a violent confrontation with IDF forces were put in motion about two hours before the boarding began, when the Israeli Navy hailed the ship and told it to halt. 2. According to the statements, the atmosphere aboard the Mavi Marmara was tense and the crew noticed a gathering on the main deck. When they checked the upper deck they discovered that...

IPT News June 9, 2010 SNIPPET: "The Turkish-based charity that helped drive last week's deadly confrontation with Israeli commandos has deep ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups. The Hamas ties are not in question. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and IHH officials simply do not acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist group." SNIPPET: "U.S. officials have expressed concern over the fact that "IHH representatives have met with senior Hamas officials in Turkey, Syria, and Gaza over the past three years," but IHH is not a designated terrorist organization in the United States. It's fair to ask, why not?"...

June 07, 2010 MORE DOCUMENTATION ON GAZA FLOTILLA CHARITY IHH

  The Iranian Red Crescent is planning to send two ships to Gaza this week it was announced on Monday. AFP quotes Red Crescent director for international affairs Abdolrauf Adibzadeh  as saying: "One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by end of this week."  

The following are some quotes from a letter sent by former presidential candidate and far left wacko Dennis Kucinich to President Obama with regard to the Gaza flotilla incident. In order to stomach its contents, I suggest a game; see how many strawmen, logical fallacies, half truths, and blatant lies you can find in its contents. We'll go with a points system: 1 pt. - strawman 2 pts. - logical fallacy 3 pts. - half truth 4 pts. - blatant lie 10 bonus points for proving that Kucinich has a brain.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSAxAj2KIdU “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...

Note: Watch Video at link. Quote: LAUGHTER IS GOOD But it's better when you are able to defend yourself, your family, and your country.

This is a short, but very funny (probably true) Satire. It good to see something funny about the gaza flotilla.

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...

Remember how there was supposedly going to be “no daylight” between them in dealing with the flotilla aftermath? Turns out daylight has broken after just four days. Question: If you’re intent on pushing a policy as reckless as ending the blockade — and it is reckless, as we all know from Lebanon that neutral “peacekeepers” aren’t going to keep Iranian weapons out of Gaza — why on earth would you wait to do it in response to a provocation? You’re sending a crystal clear signal here to the Muslim Brotherhood scumbags responsible for the flotilla and their Turkish sponsors that,...

The Turkish Islamic charity behind a flotilla of aid ships that was raided by Israeli forces on its way to Gaza had ties to terrorism networks, including a 1999 al-Qaida plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport, France's former top anti-terrorism judge said Wednesday. The Istanbul-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief, known by its Turkish acronym IHH, had "clear, long-standing ties to terrorism and Jihad," former investigating judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
