“We have been working non-stop for the last twenty-four hours examining the cargo holds of the three large cargo ships and I can say with great assurance, that none of the equipment on board is needed in Gaza. The equipment that we found is all equipment that we have regularly allowed into the strip over the past year. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the whole premise of the voyage was for propaganda and provocation and not for humanitarian purposes.”

— Col. Moshe Levi, Israeli Defense Force, commander of
Gaza Strip Coordination and Liaison Administration

“This wasn’t a love boat. This was a hate boat. These weren’t pacifists. They weren’t peace activists. These were violent supporters of terrorism.”

    This administration needs to get straight and stop turning its back on Israel. The implications are greater than any ‘man-made disaster’. How messed up are things when Joe Biden is the only one making sense.

    I am not antisemetic, I am just anti neocon.

    And I do not care for Jews either. For promoting circumcisms.

    Which part of “when you attack a ship and murder civilians in international waters, you’re wrong” is unclear?

    This is to all of you who want to defend Hamas on this issue.

    Israel does have the right to conduct a blockade of Gaza to prevent weapons and missiles from coming in that will be used on Israel. That is called self defense. A certain Democrat did this once too, albeit with higher stakes.

    The way you enforce a naval blockade is to 1) repell ships from it, 2) board and search ships and let them through if they meet criteria, or 3) sink or disable them if they try to run the blockade.

    Now you Hamas lovers can go back to picking link out of your navels and conduct your own blockade of keeping any of your genital lice from finding a home there.
