The leftist protest yahoo movement has gotten riled up over Israel's raiding of an allegedly "humanitarian" flotilla to supposedly assist Palestineans in Gaza. The fact that there were armed hooligans on these ships who fought and injured Israeli soldiers carrying out legal and legitimate surveillance and defense operations against Iranian and other attempts to smuggle weapons to Palestinean terrorists in Gaza seems not to have occurred to the dimwitted apologists for Islamist terrorists. Israel has been subject to regular artillery and missile attacks from Gaza since it ceded control of this derelict community to the "Palestinean Authority." Members of this authority, possibly inspired by comparable North Korean efforts to infiltrate weapons and terrorists into South Korea, have sought to dig tunnels to smuggle weapons and terrorists into Israeli territory to kill, injure, and terrorize Israelis and other individuals in that area.
This incident has outraged leftist imbeciles worldwide. Recently, my wife and I were on vacation in Sydney, Australia and heard a bunch of noise as we walked near Sydney's picturesque town hall not far from our hotel. We later saw on the news that night that the square by this government building had been the site of a demonstration by pro-Palestinean jihadi and their useful idiots.
It's particularly ironic that one of the ships in this "humanitarian flotilla" was named for Rachel Corrie. Corrie was an incredibly stupid American leftist from Washington state who decided to enhance her collegiate education by working for a Palestinean terrorist front organization called the International Solidarity Movement. During 2003, she had the audacious stupidity to stand in front of an Israeli bulldozer trying to stop legal Israeli attempts to build housing in sovereign Israeli territory. Corrie was killed and has become a Palestinian jihadi martyr heroine though I doubt she heard the words "Well done good and faithful servant" when she stood before God to give account for her life.
It's time the international community quit rationalizing Palestinean terrorist excuses and right of return sob stories. The Palestineans had a chance for an independent state in 1948 when Israel was created, but were greedy enough to want to push the area's Jewish population into the sea. Following the 1993 Oslo accords, the Palestineans were given yet another chance and we have seen the results of this ill-advised endeavor as Israel had to build a wall to protect its population from Palestinean territories in the West Bank and from Gaza and been subjected to repeated intifadas. Incidentally, Egypt has closed off its borders with Gaza and you don't hear anything about Palestinean attacks on Egypt. It's time for the international community to give up its utopian and failed notion of a Palestinean state or a two state solution as the key to solving that region's problems. The Palestineans and the Islamic world need to abandon their stupid beliefs that they can push Israel into the sea. This boat incident is particularly sad because Turkey, ostensibly our NATO ally who has had good relations with Israel, has let itsself be seduced by Palestinean propaganda and mythology. Turkey has plenty of opportunities to achieve growth in the Black and Caspian Sea regions and shouldn't waste its time, energy, money, or blood on misfits like the Palestineans.
