After the world outcry following the Mavi Marmara incident, Israel relaxed the Gaza blockade to the point where even building materials have been sent. The world media finally stopped pretending that there is a humanitarian crisis and redefined Gazans in terms of boredom—yes, boredom. The evil Israelis are causing the Gazans to be bored!
So, there is no humanitarian crisis. Medical supplies are not an issue. Gazans are not starving. Let me ask a question of the flotilla participants now: Why, exactly, are more “activists” attempting to deliver aid to Gaza over sea routes?
Richard Kuper, an organizer with the U.K. group Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said one goal is to show that not all Jews support Israeli policies toward Palestinians.
Oh. Propaganda, then, and a pretty good grasp of the obvious: Not all Jews think alike.
It quoted Richard Kuper, a member of the organising group, as saying that “the Jewish Boat to Gaza is a symbolic act of protest against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the siege of Gaza, and a message of solidarity to Palestinians and Israelis who seek peace and justice.
Oh. Propaganda and symbolism. Got it.
“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.
Ah. Propaganda and false narratives. The Gazans are “persecuted” now—yes, the blockade is no longer a response to 8,000 rockets launched at Israel. It’s the persecution of the innocents.
In other words, the flotillas persist in trying to break the blockade of Gaza mostly because it exists, and it is an Israeli action (reaction, actually). This boat is full of Snoopy’s Assajews. I would follow the “ass” with “holes,” myself.
rofl.
I am sure that the irony of leaving Turkish occupied northern Cyprus to protest about the evil Joos did not even enter their little minds.
These (imaginary) things that these anti semites accuse Israel of are EXACTLY what Turkey is guilty of in northern Cyprus…. right down to forcibly relocating Turkish nationals to Cyprus in order to change the demographic balance AND practising ethnic cleansing

They’re sailing on a 33ft catamaran. Which is great if you’re watching the late summer yacht races at Newport, but they’re painfully stupid as an aid carrier. Their biggest danger will be falling over the gunwales drunk.
Surely a bunch of folks determined to bring such desperately needed aid to a bunch of poor, innocent, oppressed, genocidal, murderous, radical, antisemitic Muslims would not dream of polluting their ship with alcohol, forbidden by the Oh So Holy Qur’an and the Prophet (PBUH*). I mean, if they got to Gaza drunk their buddies from Hamas might just chop their heads off for being kaffirs.
Well, we can always hope, can’t we?
