Gaza flotilla a sign of mass derangement

Tomorrow the so-called “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” is expected to reach the waters off the Gaza Strip. I am interested in what is in the heads of the ‘progressive activists’ that are on board or that support the goals of this operation.

They claim that it’s all about ‘humanitarian’ aid to break the ’siege’ and end the suffering of Gaza residents. It’s remarkably easy to show that there actually is no ’siege’ and no ‘humanitarian crisis’. A siege is not a siege when the besieger permits 15,000 tons of food, medicine and clothing a week into the besieged area. And the Hamas rulers of Gaza have options to ameliorate the minimal pressure that is being applied to them. Want the crossings open? Release Gilad Shalit, who’s been held hostage now for almost four years.

Update: Elder of Ziyon is on the job Twittering "#Flotilla of Fools".

Only the very dumb ones believe their own propaganda. The smarter ones would probably admit the above. But they would say that they are fighting a war against colonialism and racism. They would say that they are fighting on the side of freedom against oppression.

In other words, they are helping Hamas because Hamas represents freedom and opposes racism. Really?

The Western idea of freedom includes such things as freedom of speech, press, and religion. It includes the idea of equality between men and women, fairness to ethnic and religious minorities, gays, etc.

Hamas is violently (and I mean violently) opposed to those freedoms. It also believes that the land of Israel belongs only to Muslims, and that the proper behavior of a Muslim toward a Jew is to kill him (I call that racism, don’t you?)

  1. Who is Fresno-Zion and why is the author of this piece not given? When an outside force decides what can go in and out of a place, that is, by anyone's definition, a siege. To say that humanitarians are "supporters of Hamas" is not dumb. It is callous and inflamatory. And in reading the latest responses from supporters of the attack on the high seas, their seems unanimous consent:

    "They should have killed them all."

    Fact: When Jews were a minority in the Holy Lands (holy to all children of Abraham, not just the Jews)there was no Muslim State. Now is claimed a Jewish State. Who has historically been unwelcoming of whom?
    Who are the Theocrats?

  2. Jesejas- Fresnozionism is the name he writes under and he is the sole author of articles under that banner. If you go to his page, his name is available if it interests you.

    Prior to the the return and rebirth of the Jewish State, the people living in this area were subject to various Islamic Caliphates and ultimately the Ottoman Empire/Turkish Sultanate. The Crusaders also had a brief sojourn here, terminated by Saladin,then ruled over by the Mameluks.In the early 16th Century the Ottoman Empire took control, which expired with their defeat by the British with the arrival of Allenby. Surviving various extortions, pogroms, and denial of basic freedom of worship, the Jewish people have come Home, with a capital H, the only one promised to them and no other.
