Sinister Aim of ‘Aid Flotilla’.
Youssef Ibrahim
The emergence of Turkey in a leading
position against Israel is developing as the most significant aspect of the
efforts of an “aid flotilla” to run the blockade of Gaza that is maintained by
both Egypt and Israel.
Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and which aspires to join the European Union, ranks as
chief instigator, leader, and organizer of the so-called Gaza aid flotilla of
boats arrested overnight by Israeli commandoes. Inevitably the clash resulted
in several dead and wounded, the latter including Israeli navy personnel, as
well as condemnation of Israel, some via anti-Semitic rhetoric, from both
Western Europe and the Arab world.
Yet there was nothing accidental about
this collision. Videos show demonstrators on the boat attacking Israeli navy
personnel with knives and live fire and seizing at least one of the soldiers'
weapons. Training, preparations and the loud propaganda preceded the flotilla,
all earmarked to shed blood and launch another “hate the Jews” campaign.
Turkey and Hamas, the Islamist group
governing Gaza since 2007, teamed up overtly to engineer the exercise for
weeks. It was out there to see for all on Al Jazeera. So-called
non-governmental aid groups included Turkish militants trained to fight and
prepared to shed blood. The charade was meticulously watched over by the
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan whose Islamist Justice and Development
Party spared no effort inveighing anti-Israel sentiments in the
greater Middle East region ever since it emerged in 2002.
The ‘’Hate the Jews’’ campaign will undoubtedly follow its course to the
United Nations where the Security Council will fashion yet one more
anti-Israeli resolution within days. The White House issued a statement today
‘’regretting’’ loss of life but failing to offer any support for the
beleaguered Jewish state.
There is nothing new about blockades. Britain imposed a blockade in 1982
on the Falkland Islands and levied a 74 days long war, in which 255 British and
649 Argentine soldiers perished, to protect its sovereignty over these
far-flung territories occupied by Argentina. Egypt has blockaded Gaza since
2007, reinforced with an 18-feet-deep steel wall to prevent tunnels to Gaza. (Instead of blaming Israel for the incident, the United
State and European countries must reassess the validity of Turkish membership
of NATO and realize that this ‘moderate’ Islamic country has no place in the
European Union! At the same time, Israel needs to end the pretence that Turkey
is a friendly Muslim country.)
NOTES: 1) IHH,
the Turkish group which organized the armada to Gaza which was intercepted by
the Israeli navy, had ties in the 1990s to the Al-Qaeda terror network and
World Jihad, according to a 2006 study by the Danish Institute for
International Studies.
2)
The Gaza flotilla ships held at least 40 professional mercenaries, some
affiliated with Al Qaeda, apparently hired to engage IDF soldiers in
combat. The Turkish media has revealed that three of the four Turkish victims
of the Israeli raid on the Gaza flotilla had previously expressed their desire
to be Muslim suicide martyrs.
3)
Israeli navy commandos with paint ball
rifles (I assume to reduce
the risk of civilian casualties) were descending
from a helicopter into a Moslem mob. They were separated from the unit, then beaten,
stabbed and assaulted with flying objects. Some were pushed down into the hold
and stripped of their anti-flak vests first. The soldiers reported they barely
escaped lynching or possibly being taken hostage.
4) Flotilla is a Smoke Screen - transfer of
humanitarian assistance was not the top priority of the flotilla’s
organizers: the 25-odd truckloads of equipment offloaded from the ships is
roughly a quarter of the amount Israel transported into the Gaza strip every
day. According to the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration, 100
truckloads of assorted goods are transferred into Gaza daily.
5) There were
materials on the ships specifically banned by the Israeli authorities, such as
cement and metal rods, which Israel fears may be used by Hamas and other
terrorist organizations to build bunkers and weapons.

Flotilla
Organizers Wanted Blood to be Shed. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman spoke out on Monday evening regarding
Israel's interception of boats trying to break the naval blockade of Gaza,
saying that "The aim of the terror activists was the spilling of blood and
not any humanitarian aid in Gaza." He continued, "Everything proves
that it was a group of terrorists who want to promote terror and cooperate with
terror." Lieberman rejected claims about Israel acting in international
waters, explaining, "It's every state's right to check ships entering its
territory. Action in international waters was in accordance with all accepted
international law."
Hamas
Refuses Flotilla Aid. The
IDF Spokesman's Office reports that Israel has loaded 20 trucks with various
types of aid found onboard the flotilla but the Hamas is refusing to accept it.
"Unfortunately, the Hamas terror organization is unwilling to accept the
cargo and the trucks filled with humanitarian aid have not been allowed to
enter the Gaza Strip. It appears that Hamas is in fact stopping the transfer of
the humanitarian aid." (This is another proof
that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the Flotilla was just another
anti-Israel publicity stunt in support of terrorists of Hamas!)
Obama is not a Friend. The flotilla violence caught Netanyahu in
the midst of a diplomatic trip to North America. He was in the Canadian capital
of Ottawa at the time, about to leave for Washington for a meeting with U.S.
President Barack Obama. Netanyahu announced immediately after the flotilla news
broke that he would remain in North America and would meet with Obama as
scheduled. However, Obama told him to leave because he didn’t want Netanyahu to
use the White House as a stage on which to present Israel’s side of the story. (Obama is another puppet of Saudi Arabia and the oil
companies! Sometimes fake friends of Israel are worse than enemies. Netanyahu
must demand an apology from Obama and not rush to visit Washington next time.)
Support from a
True Friend. President of
the Czech Senate, Dr. Farmisal Subotka, visited the Knesset
on Wednesday and expressed unprecedented support for Israel regarding the
Gaza flotilla. Subotka said it was a planned provocation against Israel:
"Many in Europe agree with me but are afraid to voice their opinion,"

Even if Israel had performed the
interception of the flotilla without any casualties and executed it perfectly,
the enemies of Israel would have portrayed it as a “fiasco” anyway and would
carried out a well prepared, rehearsed and executed anti-Israel spin. This fake
humanitarian flotilla was a smoke-screen, with perfect timing, to take the
focus of the international community from the Iranian nuclear program and raise
the Islamic status of Turkey and bring it closer to an unholy Islamic alliance!
Kurds
to Send Flotilla against Turkish Occupation. The
Free Kurdistan Movement, human rights group, says it is planning the first
international flotilla and motor convoy to reach Turkish-occupied Kurdistan:
"We want to break the siege and raise international awareness about the
prison-like closure of Kurdistan. We hope to pressure the international
community to review its sanctions policy and end its support for the continued
Turkish occupation". (I doubt that it will work – Kurds are not ‘Palestinians’ and Turkey is
not the Jewish state! After all, the international community is still
indifferent and silent about the genocide of Armenians committed by Turkey in
1915.)
Only Hamas May Demolish Palestinian
Illegal Structures. On May 16 Hamas police dragged a family with eight children
out of their squat cement house and pummelled them with wooden batons as
bulldozers razed the building along with nearly 20 other homes. Khalil Shahin,
of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), said the demolitions were
part of a larger project targeting some 180 houses. Two of the houses that were
destroyed were made of mud bricks and had been hailed by Hamas as a feat of
Palestinian ingenuity in enduring the siege.
Quote of the
Week: "If indeed it were a humanitarian
mission, it would have accepted, weeks ago during the planning stages, the
offer by the Israeli authorities to transfer the aid through to the port of
Ashdod to Gaza through the existing overland crossing, in accordance with
established procedures." - Daniel Carmon,
Israel's deputy permanent U.N. representative – Egypt has made a similar offer.
Internet Opinions about a ‘Humanitarian’ flotilla:
- Since when did these people care about
the truth?
- Israel must but Hamas commits terror and
the EU say OK!
- The EU supports terrorism against
Israel/Jews!
- What would China and Russia have done?
- World is never in "shock"
when missiles fall on Israel!
- Who has ever heard of a 'humanitarian'
org armed with knives?
- TEHRAN SPONSORED THIS TO DELAY
SANCTIONS!
(The negative
publicity and humiliation of Israel was not enough for the organisers of this
'humanitarian aid'. They were looking for blood and martyrdom to amplify their
anti-Israel stunt!)
Targeting Killings of Al-Qaida
Terrorists. Sheik Said al-Masri - Al-Qaida third-most senior commander
and the financial brains behind the 9/11 attacks and a foiled plot to bomb the
New York subway - was killed in a suspected drone strike almost a week ago, along
with his wife, three daughters and a grandchild. (When Israel used the same tactic, minus the killing of
innocent children, against the Hamas and PLO terrorist leadership it was widely
denounced by the international anti-Semitic hypocrisy!)
Hizbullah in Syrian – Getting Ready for
War. Hizbullah terrorists are running weapons to Lebanon
from secret arms depots in Syria, situated near the town of Adra, where the
terrorists have been accorded their own living quarters, arms storage site
and a fleet of trucks. This is the first proof of Hizbullah guerillas
encamping on Syrian soil. IDF Intelligence Officer, Brigadier General
Yossi Baidatz, told the Knesset recently that even without the Scud transfers,
which he called the 'tip of the iceberg', Hizbullah's arsenal contains
rockets of all kinds in numbers that exceed by far their arsenal before
the last war with Israel. Weapons transfers from Syria had passed the
stage of 'smuggling' and were 'organized and official'.
While all Pressure is on Israel.
Syria has informed the United Nations about nuclear testing it conducted in the
past according to a secret report by the International Atomic Energy (IAEA)
obtained by Reuters. The report adds that, since 2008, the Damascus
government has not given permission to inspectors to examine the Dir Az-Zour
nuclear site, which Israel bombed in 2007. (Syria and
Iran are Ratified members of
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty – NO pressure on them! India and Pakistan have recently developed
nuclear weapons - NO pressure on them! Israel is the only country international
hypocrites do care about!)
Turkey is Proud Genocide Denier. The
prime minister of Turkey cancelled a two-day visit to Argentina to protest the
annulment of an event honouring Turkey's late leader, under pressure by
Armenian activists.
