Iran Revolutionary Guards ready to escort Gaza ships
Alertnet.org ^
Posted on June 6, 2010 5:59:13 AM PDT by Sub-Driver

Iran Revolutionary Guards ready to escort Gaza ships 06 Jun 2010 12:40:35 GMT Source: Reuters TEHRAN, June 6 (Reuters) - Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards are ready to provide a military escort to cargo ships trying to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday.

“Iran’s navy forces are ready to escort the peace flotilla to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities,” Ali Shirazi, Khamenei’s representative inside the Revolutionary Guards, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency.

Any intervention by the Iranian military would be considered highly provocative by Israel which accuses Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.

The Guards, with their own navy, air force and command structure separate from the regular armed forces, are seen as fiercely loyal to the values of the Islamic Republic.

“If the Supreme Leader issues an order for this then the Revolutionary Guard naval forces will do their best to secure the ships,” Shirazi said. “It is Iran’s duty to defend the innocent people of Gaza.”

‘Largest flotilla yet’ en-route to Gaza

Ships from Britain, Morocco, Qatar to rendezvous in Syria, sail toward el-Arish Port in northern Sinai Peninsula; activists plan to enter Gaza through Rafah Crossing, deliver humanitarian aid

Ynet reporters
Published: 09.18.10, 22:48 / Israel News

Four months after being injured on board the Mavi Marmara ship, one of the participants of late May’s Gaza-bound flotilla on Saturday joined what organizers are calling “the largest flotilla yet.”

Kevin Ovenden set sail from Britain Saturday morning along with 30 other activists on a voyage they dubbed “Viva Palestina.” Their goal is to reach the Gaza Strip through Rafah Crossing – after docking in Egypt’s el-Arish Port at the northern Sinai Peninsula.”

“Conspicuous among the passengers and organizations aboard the Mavi Marmara were Turkish and Arab Islamic extremists led by IHH. They were joined by extremist European left activists and volunteers who answered the call to help the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and were not partners in IHH’s violent plans.”

“The Iranian media publicized an interview with an Iranian expert on Palestine who visited Turkey and met with IHH operatives. He described the circumstances surrounding the establishment of IHH as an Islamist, jihadist organization whose operatives fought in Bosnia, and stressed the influence of Khomeini’s ideology on the organization’s activity.”

They seem to outwit themselves in an efficient manner, so perhaps?

Nah, they couldn't.

“”It is a sacred duty for me as a Holocaust survivor to protest against the persecution, oppression and imprisonment of so many people, including over 800,000 children in Gaza,” explained 82-years-old Reuven Moshkovitz, one of the passengers.”

I have to think about this.

“The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas umbrella organization which participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The ECESG is currently involved in organizing an upgraded flotilla, and in other projects to further isolate Israel, part of the campaign to delegitimize it.”

“Convoy Reaches Gaza and Hamas’ Embrace”
by IPT News • Oct 22, 2010 at 4:38 pm

SNIPPET: “The fourth Viva Palestina (VP) land convoy arrived in the Gaza Strip Thursday, with more than 350 people from 30 different countries delivering nearly 150 vehicles, and $5 million worth of aid. Similar to VP’s previous trips to Gaza, convoy members were warmly greeted by Hamas officials.

Deputy Hamas foreign minister Ahmed Youssef spoke at a press conference along with VP leader Kevin Ovenden, who said that peace in the Middle East could be achieved only by including Hamas. Youssef, born in Gaza, came to the United States in 1982 where he served as the Executive Director of United Association for Studies and Research (UASR). UASR was an Islamist think tank that was an arm of the defunct Palestine Committee, a Hamas support network in the U.S. created by the Muslim Brotherhood.

On Friday, Viva Palestina activists met with Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh during a lunch. Haniyeh later appeared on stage at a festival honoring the “Life line 5 convoy,” along with Yemini Sheikh Muhammad al-Hazimi. Al-Hazimi instigated passengers on the IHH Mavi Marmara ship to fight the Israelis during the May 2010 flotilla. Haniyeh is the man sitting fifth from the right, and Al-Hazimi is the man sitting all the way on the right in this picture.”
