World Vents Its Anti-Semitism Over 'Humanitarian' Flotilla

If you believe the Turkish flotilla being touted by the gullible mass media as 'humanitarian' was ill-served by being boarded for security checks by Israeli commandoes yesterday, you ought to grasp what is really going on here.

As Andrew McCarthy's new book The Grand Jihad reveals, Hamas - a terrorist organisation that refuses to recognise the right of Israel to exist, is committed to murdering Jews and to Israel's destruction - controls ALL of the 'humanitarian' aid in to Gaza, distributing to its cronies as it sees fit. 

Humanitarian aid has long been a cover for smuggling arms into Gaza; arms that end up being used against Israel. As I have said before, there is a price to voting in a terrorist government in Gaza and that is that the government ought to be treated as what it is: a terrorist-sponsoring government.  Given the facts, wjat on earth does the world expect Israel to do, other than thoroughly check out every alleged humanitarian cargo?

What happened aboard the flotilla off the Gazan coast was that the pro-Palestinian activists (odd how they often turn out to be thugs?) in numbers ambushed the Israelis sent to clear their 'innocent' cargo. Guns or no guns, being outnumbered and with their lives were at stake the Israeli commandoes did what any of us would have done in similar circumstances. What is the difference between someone trying to kill with a gun or with an iron bar or knife?

Here's yesterday's blog (for more go here) from McCarthy linking the revelations in his book to what happened at the flotilla yesterday.

Before the confrontation on the Mediterranean, Palestinian political scientist Talal Okal told the Christian Science Monitor that Hamas controls anything that comes in from the relief efforts. Hamas activists were even seen driving ambulances the convoy left behind:

"They want to show that they dominate everything, and that everything in Gaza passes under their eyes. So, if these boats arrive, Hamas will receive it [the aid] and distribute it how they want, to their supporters and according to their policies."

With that in mind, Israel's concern that the flotilla might carry goods Hamas could use in weapons and explosives isn't so far-fetched.

The "world" can be as pompously self-righteous as it likes over this incident, but facts are facts. One can only wonder at what else Israel is supposed to do to stop its terrorist neighbours behave like decent human beings?
