Israel warns it will intercept Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla
Jun 23, 2015 09:19:03 #
"Israel has warned that it will intercept the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla III, which is to set off from Greek seaports this week, Israeli TV Channel 2 revealed last night.
According to the Palestinian Safa news agency, which reported the news, the Freedom Flotilla's ships are currently between Italy and Greece. It said that the Israeli army pledged it would intercept them and stop them from arriving in Gaza.
The alliance of the Freedom Flotilla III announced that it would set off from Greek seaports towards the besieged Gaza Strip this week.
Member of the European Campaign for Lifting the Siege, Rami Abdu, told Safa yesterday that the Flotilla had faced "no obstacles" to date.
The last Freedom Flotilla, led by Turkish ship the Mavi Marmara, was attacked in international waters by Israeli forces on May 31, 2010, as they tried to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. Nine Turkish activists were killed and 30 other people injured, including one activist who died nearly four years after being critically injured. The raid raised tensions between Israel and Turkey, which recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv.
Earlier this year, Judge Jose de la Mata of Spain's National Court has announced the end of the investigation into the attack by Israeli commandos on the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara aid flotilla, and has recommended the government to refer it to the International Criminal Court.
Israel previously stated that it would not allow "unauthorised boats" to enter the territorial waters of the Gaza Strip. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon described the action as "unnecessary provocation". He added: "If the so-called helpful Gaza flotillas were really interested in the welfare of the population in Gaza, they would send their aid via Israel."

Just as Israel intercepted the last FREEDOM FLOTILLA, "THE AUDACITY OF HOPE," run by the anti-American, "red-daiper" unrepentant Weather Underground domestic terrorist, cop [pig] killer, with GREAT restraint, NO "FLOTILLA" should be tolerated by-passing Israel's protection zones; especially not ONE conducted by an anti-Semite domestic terrorist!!! Always remember that the same media who is propelling disdain for Israel, AGAIN, is the same crowd that advertized Adolf Hitler as "the best thing to EVER happen to Germany," back in the late '30's, and "there was just a SLIGHT problem with the Jews;" while torturous, incinerating Jewish concentration camps were being built and filled with Jews to "gas," all over Western Europe!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!

I dont as a rule speak on these maters about the Gaza. For I have never lived there. Nor have I ever been there, including Israel.
But Yet at the same time, I am willing to back Israel if it was invaded.
As I see this on going conflict, its a mater of putting away your guns and living in peace. Saying to your self, I will not kill today.
And that goes for both sides.
I dont live there, but I have a big stake in the solution, sense its my country men that will go there if needed.
It is our men and women that will put there lives on the line to preserve freedom.
(((( FREEEDOM ))))
Freedom starts with a principle of self-control. ( I will not kill today )
Freedom also includes the right to defend oneself from others who attempt to offensively harm or coerce the free person. ( If I am not harming you, you do not have the right to harm me. )
Seems to me, that is straight forward as it gets.
So my big question is, whats so hard to understand about this?

Why don't you move to Gaza and help the poor mistreated Palestinians in their efforts to annihilate Israel?

You've never lived in Gaza and you obviously don't have a clue as to what is going on there. Many of the almost 2 million Palestinians who are imprisoned there are victims of land theft by Zionists. They have committed no crimes. The land stolen from them is used to build Jewish settlements.
Israel controls everything that goes into Gaza. Gaza is not allowed enough food or water. Much of the water they get is Israeli sewer water.
During the last ten years Gaza rockets have killed 32 Israelis which included 4 children.
During the last 7 years, Israeli bombs have killed over 3,500 Palestinians in Gaza including 801 children.
Why do you think Americans should risk their lives protecting a regime which is more evil than the Nazis?
