Hillary 'Darth' Clinton Gives Green Light for Israeli Attack on Gaza Flotilla


From Znet

In comments recently, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed to lay the ground -- indeed almost provide a green light -- for an Israeli military attack on the upcoming Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which will include the US Boat to Gaza.

Among the passengers aboard the American boat will be 87-year old Kindertransport survivor Hedy Epstein, and author and poet Alice Walker. In all it is expected that about 10 ships, carrying 1000 people from over 20 countries will take part.

Here's what Clinton said in remarks at the State Department on 23 June:

Well, we do not believe that the flotilla is a necessary or useful effort to try to assist the people of Gaza. Just this week, the Israeli Government approved a significant commitment to housing in Gaza. There will be construction materials entering Gaza and we think that it's not helpful for there to be flotillas that try to provoke actions by entering into Israeli waters and creating a situation in which the Israelis have the right to defend themselves.

Clinton must know that Gaza is not part of what any country recognizes as "sovereign" Israeli territory, and therefore neither are Gaza's territorial waters. Any boats entering Gaza's waters would not in fact be entering "Israeli waters" as Clinton claimed. Clinton also, presuming she is properly briefed rather than misled, must also know that last year Israel attacked the Gaza Freedom Flotilla when it was in international waters and GPS data showed that it was actually heading away from Israel.

By invoking Israel's supposed "right to self-defense" against civilian boats trying to reach Gaza, we must understand that Clinton is telling Israel the United States will not stand in the way of another military attack.

And by citing Israel allowing construction materials into Gaza to make the case that the flotilla is "unnecessary" because "aid" can reach the Palestinian people in Gaza, Clinton is engaging in the ultimate obfuscation.

People in Gaza have been reduced to penury and rendered dependent on aid by decades of Israeli occupation, siege and military attacks. The issue is not the delivery of aid but freeing the people by lifting the siege. It is an abhorrent position to suggest -- as Clinton seems to -- that if people in Gaza receive enough calories or a few building supplies then we should not be concerned about Israel's siege. The Palestinian people of Gaza are not caged animals for whom sufficient care consists of shoving rations through the bars of their prison.

Americans Injured On Aid Convoy; Egypt Lifts Gaza Blockade

The brainwashing of America would be complete if most Americans choose to be on the side of the Israeli commandos as opposed to the injured fellow Americans onboard the aid flotilla. But in a way, it might not matter so much what the average uninformed idiot here thinks. The world is getting angry and brainwashed America and warmongering Israel cannot go it alone against the entire world.

From ABC News

Egypt lifted its blockade of the Gaza Strip today, one day after nine people died and more than 30 were wounded in Israel's attempt to enforce a blockade of the embattled Palestinian enclave by capturing a flotilla of aid ships.


Israel raids supply ships heading for the Gaza Strip.
The sponsor of the aid flotilla said today that two more ships were being readied to head to Gaza in another attempt to break Israel's isolation of Gaza.

And as international condemnation of Israel's actions grew louder, the U.S. confirmed that Americans were aboard the aid flotilla and that several were injured...

Next Time Both Sides Will Have Guns; Turkey To Send Armed Escort For Next Flotilla.

From Antiwar.com

Is a nation finally going to stand up to the stubborn warmongers in Israel who wish the entire world as their enemy?

Once Israel’s closest ally in the region, the Turkish government has reacted with fury at last night’s Gaza aid ship massacre, condemning it as ‘inhuman state terror.’


Turkey's Navy will reportedly protect future aid ships
The attacked ship was Turkish in origin and at least two of the slain aid workers were Turkish citizens. Turkey says future aid ships will be dispatched with a military escort so as to prevent future Israeli attacks...

Aboard the ships were more than 500 people, including European members of parliament and Swedish author Henning Mankell, according to the Free Gaza Movement. Israeli Navy ships have intercepted three previous efforts by the Free Gaza Movement, formed in 2008 to deliver aid to the territory by sea.

This Is What Fox News And The Israeli Government Call Al-Qaeda

As you can see here, the propagandistic Fox News and the Isreali Government Claim an Al-Qaeda connection to the Gaza aid flotilla recently attacked.

Well then, here is Al-Qaeda according to them.
