Contrary to common perception, the "activists" on board on the infamous Gaza-bound flotilla were not activists at all; they were terrorists, many of whom were members or associates of the Muslim Brotherhood. At the very least, many were individuals collaborating with terrorists.
Further, the so called "humanitarian mission" to
Fundamentally, however, the real blame here must be put on the terrorist paramilitary organization, Hamas, which has been smuggling in thousands rockets from the Egyptian side of its border through 1000 illegal tunnels (a broken blockade could import thousands of rockets on each boat) -- and which is openly sworn in its charter to
What is surprising is that even well informed politicians, such as the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, are blaming Israel for the incident. Frattini said that
Here is one brief explanation Israeli politicians could offer Frattini: Hamas, a terrorist organization, is at war with Israel; in order to prevent this organization's terrorists and suicide bombers from bringing even more weapons into Gaza than they already do -- as has happened with the Hezballah in Southern Lebanon, which the international community was supposed to keep demilitarized -- our government was forced to impose a marine blockade, which is completely legal and legitimate under international law, as instituted before by the US during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the the UK during the Falklands war, in which
Regarding the killings, Israeli MPs could explain that it is naive to state that "whatever the flotilla's aim," the death of nine terrorists (or activists that are collaborating with terrorists, if you wish) is unacceptable. What if a flotilla of terrorists (organized by a terrorist organization to support a terrorist state) were navigating towards Italian territory? Would your army salute these people and welcome them?
Unfortunately, though, Frattini is only one of the many influential politicians who, throughout these days, have been calling for a sudden policy shift toward
And how about
What is, in actuality, "untenable" in this entire situation is the fact that the terrorist organization, Hamas, is ruling over a piece of land and that surprisingly, in this case, the international community is not pointing any finger at it at all. Further, the only reason the "impoverished" Palestinian area is "impoverished" is because of Hamas. For some reason, however, the notion of "terrorism" seems to change and fade into something less serious when it comes to the so called Islamic Resistance Movement. It is made to look as if this terrorist organization's very existence could be justified by the presence of
Parenthetically, whatever the source of the problem,
The international community and all the Western pro-democratic states should immediately hold accountable terrorists organizations such as Hamas -- and all nations which give them financial aid, safe harbor, and which incite their people to violence.
