flotilla sabotaged (47)
ttom500: A prop can hit rocks low water. I need to see pics of the damage to say it was caused by the Isreali and not accident. But clearly the the Isreali did it.....the Capt of the Irish Rugby team says so.
Exactly.....
We can blame anyone for anything and get a bunch of people all riled up......------ This thread is Archived ------

With Maritime insurers refusing to insure boats going to Gaza I wonder whether this boat will bother!
Also with Greece and Turkey stopping each boat sailing I think most crews won't even bother trying to get to Gaza.
It would be interesting to see what so-called 'aid' is on each boat as well because as I pointed out above Gaza has all it needs and there is a capacity to transport more goods into Gaza by legitimate means but Gaza has not called for it.
These flotillas are purely and simply about breaking a Lawful sea blockade.

Flotilla Activists Thrashing without Life Raft
Pro-Hamas flotilla activists are thrashing in deep political waters without a life raft as support for their aim to break the counterterrorist maritime blockade on Gaza drifts further away.
The Quartet – comprised of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia – has torn the sails of the flotilla movement and noted Saturday that Israel’s maritime blockade reflects its "legitimate security concerns that must continue to be safeguarded.
It supported Israel’s position that anyone wanting to send aid to Gaza can use "established channels so that their cargo can be inspected and transferred via established land crossings."
The Quartet’s statement added a sting to Hamas and its supporters by calling for an end to the "deplorable five-year detention of Gilad Shalit,” who was kidnapped by terrorists in Gaza five years ago.” Activists working against Israel have not taken up the cause of the captive IDF soldier despite the refusal of Hamas to honor the Geneva Convention that requires captors to allow Red Cross visits and communication with family members.
The flotilla effort has been severely crippled by a successful Israeli diplomatic campaign that has pointed out that the activists' real aim is to cause a clash with the IDF on the high seas, similar to the violent confrontation last year aboard the IHH-terror linked Mavi Marmara ship.
The United Nations has stated several times that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Israel has lifted the land embargo except for weapons. “Dual purpose’ materials can be shipped after examination by Israel shows that the times will be used for peaceful purposes.
Without support from most mainstream media, flotilla activists were dealt blow after blow as Turkey, and now Greece, have barred ships from heading for Gaza under suspicion that they may be violating international law.
Lloyds insurance company, after being warned of possible violations, cancelled its coverage of the flotilla boats following a warning by the Israel Law Center that it would be liable for lawsuits. Similar legal warnings were sent to suppliers of maritime communications equipment.
Despite the prohibition in Greece against sailing to Hamas-controlled Gaza, the US-flagged vessel set sail Friday and immediately was stopped by the Greek coast guard. Congressman Gary Ackerman, during a visit to Israel last week, warned that “the people who would run an international legal blockade are subject to the legal ramifications of all countries, including the United States.”
The State Department added that the flotilla may “violate U.S. civil and criminal statues” that prohibit “conspiring to deliver material support” to terrorist organizations, such as Hamas.
Even flotilla organizers are beginning to admit that their project is sinking. One organizer told the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency, "Maybe it’s run its course."

IDF: Flotilla, Hamas Have Similar Funding
While organizers of the Gaza flotilla have claimed that they have no connection to terror and that their only objective in sponsoring the flotilla is to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) military intelligence has uncovered evidence that shows that flotilla organizers have received significant amounts of funding from a groups that support Hamas and other terrorist groups.
The flotilla is being funded in large part by three Islamic charity funds from the Hamas-affiliated Charity Coalition, which directly fund Hamas and other terror groups.
Among the funds is the European Campaign to End the Siege (ECESG), a UK-based umbrella organization of more than thirty Europe-based organizations; it openly supports Hamas. Most of its organizations ? founded as Muslim Brotherhood branches in Europe ? are participating in the 2011 Gaza flotilla. Israeli military sources found that some of these umbrella organizations are sponsors of Hamas terror activity in Gaza.
ECESG Chairman Dr. Arafat Madi Mahmoud Shukri also serves as chairman of the Palestinian Return Center (PRC), which advocates the mass settling of descendants of Arabs who fled Israeli in 1948 in all parts of Israel as a means of destroying the country's Jewish majority, in addition to supporting terror campaigns to frighten Jews into leaving the land. Due to PRC’s flagrant links to Hamas, it was declared illegal in Israel.
In addition to ECESG, the Switzerland-based Droit Pour Tous (“Rjghts for All”) organization and the Italy-based group ABSPP are openly and intimately involved in Hamas charity efforts as well as efforts to illegally break the lawfully enforced naval blockade on Gaza. Droit Pour Tous has, among other things filed a case for the arrest of President Shimon Peres when he visited Switzerland in March on the grounds that he is accused of committing "war crimes and crimes against humanity,” and has sponsored several Swiss members of parliament who are sailing on one of the flotilla ships.
An IDF raid several years ago on Hamas offices in PA controlled cities yielded letters, memos, bank records, receipts, and other materials showing ABSPP financial support to Hamas front organizations in Italy. The funds ended up being distributed in monthly payments to families of suicide bombers, prisoners and Hamas terrorists as a means of rewarding them for their terrorist efforts and as a "social security" program to the families.

Joke, right?
The real joke is the Irish thought they could get away with it.
