Gaza
Freedom Flotilla Establishes Information Websites
There is
food in Gaza, but no democracy.

Jerusalem,
Israel ---- June 28, 2011 .... The organizers of the Gaza Freedom
Flotilla have established two Websites to provide information
and daily updates to the media and the general public.
Sources
tell the Israel News Agency that the organizers of the
second Gaza flotilla who come from Iran, Syria, Turkey, Hamas,
Islamic Jihad, IHH, Qatar, Libya, Free Gaza Movement (FGM), European
Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG), US Boat to Gaza, Muslim
Brotherhood, were never told that the International Red Cross
has declared that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
There
is a humanitarian crisis in Syria and Libya, where thousands who
have raised their voices for democracy, have been murdered by
the dictatorships there. There is a humanitarian crisis in Haiti
and in the Sudan - where children are starving to death!
Furthermore,
the UN (United Nations) the US, the EU (European Union) and several
Western and Eastern democratic nations have voiced opposition
to the mission of the Gaza flotilla, namely breaking an internationally
legal, military blockade which was created to prevent weapons
from getting into the hand of Hamas.
Also
- there is no siege. Thousands of tons of food and medical supplies
come into Gaza on UN trucks from Israel every day. And the Egyptian
border is wide open.
All
the same, the flotilla organizers claim that 10 of the planned
15 ships have already been acquired (Hürriyet, June 19; Agence
France-Presse and The Toronto Star, June 20, 2011). In reality,
the number of boats now available to the organizers may be smaller.
According to the various announcements, there will be 500 to 600
passengers and the flotilla will set sail from Greece on June
28. Some of the delegations (from the United States and Canada,
for instance) flew to the region to join the ships anchored there
(the Canadian delegation arrived in Greece on June 20). Some of
the delegations were supposed to receive training in "passive
resistance" tactics in view of possible scenarios for the
flotilla.
But
again, why is there a "flotilla"?
This "peaceful, humanitarian, freedom flotilla" has
absolutely nothing to do with peace, humanity or freedom!
Hamas
which rules Gaza has declared that they do not want peace with
Israel.
They
would rather launch rockets and missiles into civilian towns and
cities in Israel.
Why?
Are
there Israel troops in Gaza?
Only those kidnapped by Hamas. So why then does Hamas want to
destroy Israel?
It's
called Islamic Jihad or holy war against Jews and Christians.
Why
is there a flotilla sailing to Gaza?
Because
dictatorial Arab Islamic states want the world media to focus
on democratic Israel and not their own totalitarian nations i.e.
- Syria, Iran, Libya - where poverty is rampant and a total lack
of human rights exists. Where there is no freedom of the press,
where women are treated as second class camels and gays and lesbians
are murdered.
The
Gaza Flotilla is pure Hollywood. Bad Hollywood. A perverted show
to take our minds off the starving in Africa and the oppressed
in the Middle East who wish for democracy.
In
Israel, we have a different kind of Hollywood, a good Hollywood
where Sir Paul McCarthy, Paul Simon, Shakira, Elton John, Madonna,
Metallica, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart and others who come to perform
to bring people together. The Gaza Hate Flotilla is designed to
divide people and create tension, if not even war.
One
can ask: "Why does Madonna and Shakira perform in Israel
but not in Gaza?"
Because
Hamas would not allow Madonna, Shakira or any other entertainer
to speak and dress freely. Madonna and Shakira would be stoned
to death if they performed in Islamic Hamas ruled Gaza!
So
let's take a few oil rich Arab nations which pay for the show,
professional PR firms such as Fenton Communications to get the
word out and some very naive activists who do not read newspapers
and take the part of actors.
These activists may see this as a romantic adventure. The rest
of the world sees it as a tragedy.
IDF
sources are now saying that new intelligence information obtained
in recent days shows that the "peaceful" activists of
the Gaza flotilla who plan to break Israels sea blockade
over the Gaza Strip later this week plan to kill IDF soldiers
who board their ships.
According
to the information obtained by the IDF, some of the participants
have prepared sacks with sulfur, which they plan to pour on the
soldiers as they board the vessels.
This
is a chemical weapon, and if poured on a soldier it can paralyze
him, an IDF source told the Israel News Agency. If
the sulfur is then lit on fire, the soldier will light up like
a torch.
Peace?
For
the so called peace, freedom and humanity in the flotilla does
not exist when confronting a navy from a democratic state that
has every right to defend herself from bombs and missiles which
are being smuggled into Gaza to murder Jewish children. These
so called peace activists should be volunteering to feed children
in Haiti - not trying to divert media attention away from Syria,
Libya and Iran.
These
activists should be addressing Hamas and its fund raiser Iran
in calling for freedom and democracy in Gaza.
The food, water and medicine is there.
It is the truth and democracy that is missing.
