The Free Gaza morons, not having had their fill of being stuck in Gaza (cf: Lauren Booth, and try hard not to laugh when you think of her being turned back at every Gaza border crossing, shrieking, “But I’m Lauren Booth! Tony Blair’s sister-in-law! TONY BLAIR!”), are going to try again. And this time, they’re trying to prevent the utter disinterest that followed their arrival when they didn’t show up with tons of food and goods, like the Palestinians expected. (Must have thought the boat was like a smuggling tunnel.)
International protesters say they are making a repeat voyage to Gaza to bring aid to Palestinians in defiance of Israel’s blockade.
Free Gaza organizer Greta Berlin said 29 protesters will sail from Cyprus on October 28 for the estimated 24-hour trip to the Strip.
Berlin said Wednesday the group has converted a fishing boat to safely ferry the protesters and a symbolic shipment of medical aid to Gaza.
Got that? “Symbolic.” Just in case you didn’t get it, the AP said it twice. They don’t want to raise any hopes.
Berlin said the protestors would be sailing in a fishing boat equipped with a “symbolic package” containing medical equipment and other aid for Palestinians living under siege, similarly to the previous voyages.
Symbolic. The whole trip is symbolic, you see. Fighting against the evil Israelis, and the siege that is destroying Gaza. Why, they’re starving, in the midst of shopping in their well-stocked stores, smuggling tons of goods, including cattle, through the tunnels from Egypt, and living just fine and dandy without any help from Israel. Oh. Wait. Except for the electricity they get from Israel, the fuel they get from Israel, the food they get from Israel, and the other goods they get from Israel.
Yeah, go protest that siege. But don’t protest, like, the fact that Hamas fired all the doctors who went on strike last month, and the teachers before that, and anyone who goes against the Hamas playbook. No. Protest Israel. We’ll leave the “why” to your imagination.
Oh, no we won’t. It’s the Jew factor. I don’t recall seeing any of these ships travel to North Korea in the bad old days when Koreans were eating grass to survive. There are no ships to Darfur. Only the Palestinians, it seems, are worthy of the attention of these fools.
not disinterest but rather uninterest – different words with different meanings
According to Sachar, the Gazans have always been the worst, the most militant, and always living under the worst conditions. While I favor Israeli withdrawal from the WB, I have no idea what should be done about Gaza. The blockade, of course, interferes with potential Gazan trade. But without the blockade God only knows what kind of weaponry will find its way in.
The situation is intractable.
So long as they hold Galid Shalit, so long as they continue to fire rockets at Sderot, and so long as Hamas is in power, Israel will not, I am sure, lift the blockade.
Here’s a question, tho.
What exactly is motivating Egypt to maintain its end of the blockade?
If they want a warm welcome from the Gazans, all they have to do is bring a symbolic shipment of guns instead of medical aid.
I sure hope they didn’t include any Israel medical supplies in the symbolic shipment. The Arabs will chuck them out as polluting. They won’t take Israel manufactured medical supplies even as disaster aid. They’d prefer, one supposes, poisonous Chinese medicine to high-quality Israel medicine. Due to Jew cooties, no doubt.
Greta LIAR Berlin helpfully self identified herself and her fellow islamofascist supporting drones as LIARS at a Daniel Pipes talk at UCLA.

At the website you can see the picture of Greta LIAR Berlin wearing her capsule summary of her character.
I don’t know why Greta LIAR Berlin needs a ship to float to Gaza, when she can always fly on her broomstick.
Good lord what a bunch of cretins.

“Here’s a question, tho.

I suspect their end of the blockade is rather imperfect, but there is also the fact that the Gazan leadership is a bunch of stark raving murderous fanatics.
‘Palistenian’ thugs killed Sadat because ( after some ‘prodding’) he had the temerity to engage Jewish people with something other than rocket fire.
The Egyptians are likely unenthusiastic about these crazies getting anything.
