See Israeli Navy Commandos Take Over French Gaza Flotilla Boat

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli naval commandos on Tuesday seized control of a French ship attempting to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, reporting no resistance during the takeover in international waters.
The navy boarded the ship after the pro-Palestinian activists on board ignored calls to change course.
The military had warned it would stop any attempt to break the sea blockade of Gaza, which Israel imposed four years ago in what it says is a measure to prevent arms smuggling to Gaza’s ruling Hamas militant group.
It said the vessel, the Dignity al-Karama, would be taken to a southern Israeli port, Ashdod. The international passengers are likely to face deportation.
Last year, Israeli naval commandos clashed with knife and club-wielding activists on a Turkish ship trying to reach Gaza, killing nine Turkish activists. Both sides have said they acted in self defense.
The deadly clash drew harsh international criticism, forcing Israel to ease its land blockade of Gaza. But the naval embargo has remained intact.
Since the deadly May 2010 takeover, the navy has intercepted two blockade-busting boats without incident. But it had been preparing for months for the arrival of a new flotilla, saying it had adopted new tactics in hopes of avoiding bloodshed.
The Dignity al-Karama was the only ship remaining from a larger protest flotilla that had hoped to sail weeks ago but was blocked by Greek authorities.
The France-based Platform Palestine group, one of the organizers, said the Israeli takeover “clearly shows the military logic of Israeli politics, which only speaks the language of force.” It said it had no contact with anyone on the boat.
In a text message sent to reporters, the Hamas government in Gaza condemned the seizing of the boat.
Sixteen people, including pro-Palestinian activists from France, Canada and Sweden, journalists and three crew members, are aboard the French-based ship. They have said they had no aid on board and that their mission was meant to make a “political statement” against the Israeli blockade.
A France-based spokesman for a group called “A French Boat for Gaza,” Maxime Guimberteau, said he was in contact with activists aboard the ship earlier Tuesday and they told him that four Israeli navy ships had surrounded the ship.
He said the vessel was about 40 miles (65 kilometers) off Gaza in international waters in the Mediterranean and that his conversation with the boat was cut off.
Israel imposed the embargo in 2007 after Hamas militants seized control of Gaza. It says the measure is needed to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas, but critics say the blockade has failed to weaken the militant group and instead has hurt the territory’s economy, collectively punishing its 1.6 million people.
With the land blockade greatly eased, large amounts of consumer goods now flow into Gaza. But restrictions remain on the entrance of construction materials, which are sorely needed to repair damage caused by an Israeli military offensive two years ago. Israel says items like metal, cement and glass could be diverted for military purposes, and has approved individual construction projects in coordination with the international community.
In its warning, the navy notified the ship that any supplies it might have on board could be transferred legally to Gaza through an Israeli port and then across Israeli-controlled land crossings.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 5:35pmNormally projecting ones intention is bad in football passes…but I think Israel should have stated that any ship attempting to illegally enter Gaza through the blockade would be attacked and sunk via Cruise Missle and all survivors machine gunned via helicopter gunship. Do this once, twice, three times and the liberal activists herd would be thinned and skittish about becoming suicidal fish food.
I’ve no patience for liberals who think they have a right to safety because of their “touchy-feely” stance on murderous jihadist groups like Hamas. I say feed the fish with liberal chum.

And Hamas has declared “WAR” on the Israeli Gov’t and its Citizens. If Hamas got its way they would make the “Final Solution” look tame in comparison.

They do not have to go without… they have iPods and mansions in Gaza… also the Blockaide would end if the peace loving citizens of Gaza would get rid of Hamas. And maybe stop lobbing missles into Isreal every single day, that would help too…
IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea and Samaria, Major General Eitan Dangot discussed Israeli relief measures in Gaza:
Among the measures taken were: increasing the number of trucks that transport goods into the Gaza Strip, renovating the land crossings into Gaza and increasing the range of goods allowed into the Strip, approving extensive projects in Gaza funded by members of the international community, increasing the export of agricultural produce from Gaza, and increasing the amount of entry and exit permits from Gaza into Israel for Gaza’s residents.
Dangot’s comments are in line with an illustrative video released by the IDF spokesperson’s office last week. The video details the amount of goods Israel transfers to the inhabitants of Gaza on any given week. This includes 6,000 tons of goods (around 260 truckloads) which are transferred into Gaza on a daily basis. The products transferred into the Strip include baby food, poultry, vegetables, construction materials, and other miscellaneous goods such as medicine, clothing, electrical equipment and hygiene products.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 3:22pm@OhioRifleman I appreciate the emotion filled term, but I don’t think Hamas is capable of committing anything on a scale close to the holocaust. You missed the point. Aggression in the Middle East isn’t going to subside with more aggression.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 10:05am“They have said they had no aid on board and that their mission was meant to make a “political statement” against the Israeli blockade”
So the purpose of this group was to create conflict, not to bring humanitarian aid – food etc – to the palestinian people. No big surprise there.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 11:10amBill Ayres is a great american.The occupation of gaza is illigal under current international law and UN resolutions. The only legal israeli borders are the 67 borders.Anyone with any sense of right and wrong admits this.Only the brainwashed americans who are under the thumb of the zionist media don’t.israel is a terrorist nation and the palestinians resist however they can.And all arabs would accept a 67border israel,including hamas[though they will always believe and teach that the creation of the israeli state was unjust ].Keep the pressure on flotilla activists!All people who havn’t been brainwshed by zionist propaganda are with you!

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 1:17pmeose-ellen. You make this so simple everytime.
Bill Ayres is a terrorist and a murderer. There is no occupation of Gaza because there are no Israeli troops in Gaza. As I’ve stated before. The Arabs rejected peace and a state on the West Bank first in 1948 when it was offered to them by the U.N. and then in 2000 when it was offered by Presidents Clinton and Barak. In 1949, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which the U.N. had designated as a homeland for the Arabs, were annexed respectively by Jordan and Egypt. When the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed in 1964 its covenant made no mention of liberating the West Bank or Gaza from Jordan and Egypt. The PLO leadership stated that its goal was to “push the Jews into the sea.” Today the “liberation” of Palestine “from the river to the sea” is still the goal of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. The war in the Middle East is about the desire of the Arabs and Muslims to destroy Israel; it is not about the desire for a Palestinian state.
The only one brainwashed here is you.

Bill Ayres is nothing but a terrorist! We all know the truth! He should have been shot on his way to causing chaos with all his bombings! I could never understand why he should have not gotten life in prison or even the death penalty for his crimes!
Most of us are decent hard working American citizens who truly want the best for our country! We do not think along the lines of being like Bill Ayres nor would ever want to be like such! Even a leopard cannot change the color of his spots!
There will only be peace when you put away your weapons by will and learn to love each others differences! I really wish Israel could have such and all the hatred to go away completely!
Is it really about boarders? Or is it about religion?
Now lets take a good look! You have Arabs with many acres of land, oil and wealth, who do not share amongst their brother and you have Israel who has a very tiny little plot of land who keeps giving more and more away (they did not have to give Gaza). Sharia only attempts to Bind their women and oppress! Don’t you think it is wrong??? The Islamic religion believes in killing those who do not believe. Is that right??? Think about it!
Many things need to change in the Muslim world! Please understand the truth!

The interesting thing about the Israel-Palestinian Peace Talks is that if the Arab (Muslims) quit attacking Israel the conflict would end. What does Israel have to gain by negotiating with people whose only objective is to destroy Israel? The only agreements possible are those that weaken Israel. http://commonsense21c.com/

OOO and about your ridiculous statement about Apartheid.
“Apartheid” refers to the system created by South Africans in which “non-white” residents of that nation were denied citizenship and basic civil rights, and were forced to live in separate residential areas with segregated and inferior educational and medical services. Those wishing to demonize and destroy Israel now falsely call it “an Apartheid state.” But the only true Apartheid states in the Middle East are Islamic states in which Jews are not allowed to live and where Christians, Baha’is and other religious minorities are objects of discrimination and persecution.
There are 1.4 million Arabs living in Israel with civil rights that are the envy of the Arab world. Israeli Arabs vote in Israel’s elections, have representatives in the Israeli Parliament, sit on Israeli courts and on the Israeli Supreme Court, and serve as tenured professors teaching in Israeli colleges and universities. The Arab citizens of Israel have more rights, and enjoy more freedom, education, and economic opportunity than the inhabitants of any Arab or Muslim state.
Just thought you’d like to know some facts. Something
