It seems the Jewish boat attempting to break the siege of Gaza has struck a nerve. Organizers are looking for a second boat due to overwhelming demand. From Haaretz:
An association of German Jews planning to send a boat with humanitarian aid to break the Gaza blockade is searching for a second vessel, given the high number of requests to travel with the group.
The group, Jewish Voices for a Just Peace, had originally planned to send one small vessel from an unnamed Mediterranean port in mid-July, with the intention of getting aid past the Israeli-imposed blockade of Gaza.
However, spokeswoman Edith Lutz told dpa that "our preparations have been held back somewhat because we have been inundated with requests to travel."
Also, here's a petition asking President Obama to help guarantee safe passage for the boats. It reads in part:
We, the undersigned, are asking you, President Barack Obama, to make every effort within your authority as President of the United States, to convince the government of Israel to guarantee safe passage for the Jewish Boat to Gaza this summer and to permit its entry to Gaza to accomplish its peaceful and humanitarian efforts on behalf of the people of Gaza.
The ''Jüdische Stimme'' (‘Jewish Voice’ for a Just Peace in the Near East), along with Jews for Justice for Palestinians (UK) are sending the boat with needed supplies for the besieged people of Gaza, but also as a call to the leaders of the world: help Israel find her way to reason, to a sense of humanity and a life without fear.
I’m not sure I understand the point of this. The Israeli Navy will board the boat. The crew and passengers will not resist. The Navy will take the boat to Ashdod, where it will be searched and declared free of contraband. Hamas will refuse to accept its humanitarian cargo. Israel will establish yet another precedent for stopping ships in international waters.
Doesn’t matter. If Israel wants to utilize its resources to fight all of the humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza then so be it. I hope there’s a flotilla a day to keep the Zionists busy. Eventually, they will tire and give it up.
Duscany, what makes you think the Israeli Navy doesn’t shoot to kill, this time?
Here is Obama’s reply letter (drafted by Rahm Emmanuel):
Dear Jewish Voices for a Just Peace,
Upon consultation with our dear friend and ally The Empire of Israel the U.S. government has concluded that we must let them stop your self-hating-Jew-terrorist mission to arm Gaza with weapons-of-hunger-destruction and will not come to your aid.
Further, when Israel is done diverting, sinking, arresting, torturing, murdering or whatever other necessary steps they must take in the interests of their fragile security against your dangerous assault, we will shamelessly mouth whatever propaganda statement they order, er, ask us to say.
Sincerely,
Barack Hussein Obama
Useful Tool of The Empire of Israel
(and President of the United States)
The Blockade is legal under international Maritime law.
Also under the Oslo Accords, Israel legally controls the waters around Gaza.
Civilian ships attempting to run a naval blockade may be boarded legally in International waters.
A good question also is, what happened to the aide from the boats? Why isn’t anyone talking about it? Last heard HAMAS regime rejected the aide.
Again I will ask my comments not to be delayed or moderated as I have continued to not violate the comments policy.
Hey MaximumNUtter,
The whole flotilla thing has one goal – to expose to the world (by getting past zio-controlled media) the COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT israel inflicts upon the Gaza-open-air-prison population … by the way, collective punishment is illegal
Radii, thank you for your input.
In this case the goal was not to deliver aide as originally claimed?
Attacking Israelis with metal poles, guns, knives and axes doesn’t seem like the best way to point out the suffering of Gazans, the effect of which made the entire world see the extreme violence of the IHH cell on that vessel.
It seems that you decry collective punishment against Gazans yet by way of BDS you actively promote collective punishment against Jews.
Gaza is no prison, open air or not. In fact Gaza shares a border with Egypt which is not considered an enemy of the Palestinian Authority, in this case, Egypt can very well open it’s borders and “free the prisoners” as you put it.
Respectfully,
Max
“Attacking Israelis with metal poles, guns, knives and axes doesn’t seem like the best way to point out the suffering of Gazans, the effect of which made the entire world see the extreme violence of the IHH cell on that vessel”
How defending against pirates highjacking your vessel in uinternatuiona waters amount to atatcking Israelis? No one boarded Israeli ships by forces or brought guns with them.
Oh abd BTW. No one used axes or knives either. That lie was debunked.
“It seems that you decry collective punishment against Gazans yet by way of BDS you actively promote collective punishment against Jews.”
No, because no one is sugegsting that any of the jews ourside of Israel (which is most of them) should suffer. More importantly, Israelis can put an aend to the BDS monmvement by lifting the collective punishment agaist Gaza.
“Gaza is no prison, open air or not.”
Of course it is.
“In fact Gaza shares a border with Egypt which is not considered an enemy of the Palestinian Authority, in this case, Egypt can very well open it’s borders and “free the prisoners” as you put it.”
Rubbish. Until the flotilla massacre by your murderous fascist compatriots, the border with Egypt was closed under orerss from Isrel and Wasghington.
“Respectfully,Max”
Lying and spreading propaganda, much less defending a facsit apartheid state is no sign of respect.
You are another racist extremist.
The Blockade is legal under international Maritime law.
“Also under the Oslo Accords, Israel legally controls the waters around Gaza.”
False.
1. The UN has ruled that Israel are an occupying power and that a blockade in an act of collective punishment.
2. Israel has violated every article of the Oslo accords
3. There is no article in the Oslo Accords that states that Israel legally controls the waters around Gaza
“Civilian ships attempting to run a naval blockade may be boarded legally in International waters.”
False becasue none of those ships belong to states that are at war with Israel.
“A good question also is, what happened to the aide from the boats?”
Israel confiscated most of it, like they always do. For example, they took out the batteries from the electric wheelchairs, rendering them useless.
“Again I will ask my comments not to be delayed or moderated as I have continued to not violate the comments policy.”
Again, we will ask you to shut up and stop wining. You have repeatedly violated the comments policy by the offensiveness of your sick ideology.
If you don’t like it, get lost.
Shingo,
You make some great points but they are mainly incorrect or misleading.
It’s possible to argue over many minor things with you, yet in the end, you don’t even support the right of Israel to exist, so all of your maneuvers are executed in order to support the goal of the dis-establishment of the Jewish state.
Gaza is an area that was ethnically cleansed of Jews, and now is host to all sorts of offensive weaponry that will eventually be used to war against Israel.
The most basic right, is the right to life, this being the case, all naval shipments towards Gaza must be inspected for weapons that may be used by the HAMAS and terror groups to harm civilians.
This is a very simple concept.
“You make some great points but they are mainly incorrect or misleading.”
No, I corrected the BS that you spun.
For example, one of your typical Zionist talking points is the assumption that I don’t support the right of Israel to exist, which is a signature Hasbara throw away line seeing as no state has a right to exist. Furthermore, whether oen suports the right of Israen to exist or not has no bearin on facts or truth. Facts remain facts whetehr they are spoken by Gandhi or Hitler.
The reality is that you know your argument are easily debunked, so you are spaeing yourself the embarssment of being furher exposed as a liar and a fraud.
Gaza was never ethnically cleansed of Jews. You can’t be ethnically cleansed by your own tribe so there is another pathetic Habara lie easily debunked.
Whatever weaponry that might exist in Gaza is clearly so useless that Isrelis have agreater risk of dying from food poisoning or being struck bny lighting than by a Hamas rocket. And no weapons in Gaza have ever been used to go to war against Israel. Israel has statretd every war since 1948 (with the exception of 1973) and you can rest assured they will start any future wars. Mind you, the 2008 massacre fo Gaza that Israel also started, was no war.
“The most basic right, is the right to life, this being the case, all naval shipments towards Gaza must be inspected for weapons that may be used by the HAMAS and terror groups to harm civilians.”
The suggestion tyhat he blockade is about security has already been debunked my Israeli documents rebvealing that the blockade has nothign to do with defense, but is a cynical ply to impose economic warfare on Gaza, so that’s another one fo your vaccuous lies exposed.
Secondly, your lie is further exposed by the Israeli government itself, who has stated they woudl nto be satisfied with simply inpective shipments to Gaza, buit banned them altogether. Your Hasbara is letting you down.
That’s the trouble with lies. You have to remember everything, and your memory is sadly lacking.
Of course if by right to life, yiou mean all people, then surely all planes and ships destined for Israel should also be inspected for weapons, seein as Israel kills about 100 times as many civlians as Hamas do.
In fact it is clear that is is you that is being dis-ingenuous.
You mention that Jews were not ethnically cleansed from Gaza which is patently false, unless you were hiding under a rock in 2005. To say that since this crime was perpetrated by Jews, that it is ok, directly controverts your original claim that Egypt was not at blame for blockading Gaza because Egypt was “Forced” by Israel and the USA.
So when Jews are expelled and ethnically cleansed it is not a crime if the agents of that expulsion are also Jews, yet when Arabs boycott other Arabs and keep them in “open air prisons” as Gaza was described earlier, this is because they were forced too.
These sort of blatant double standards are rampant here.
Your statement that “no state has the right to exist” again is misleading as best, since your constant campaign is based on your heartfelt belief that an Arab state has the right to exist within the borders of Israel.
“You mention that Jews were not ethnically cleansed from Gaza which is patently false, unless you were hiding under a rock in 2005.”
You’re juvenile and lame Hasbara is almost too easy to debunk.
The Web Dictionary defines ethnic cleansing as “the mass expulsion and killing of one ethnic or religious group in an area by another ethnic or religious group in that area”. The illegal settlements in Gaza were removed by Israel, ie. Jews, not Palestinians, so it clearly was not ethnic cleansing in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, it was carried out by the elected representatives of those settlers, so it was a policy implement by their own elected leaders.
The only crime involved was the fact that those settlers were relocated from illegal settlements in Gaza to illegal settlements in the West Bank.
This has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that Egypt became involved in the blockade of Gaza because is was “Forced” by Israel and the USA. After all, the blockade began almost a year after the settlers were relocated.
So you see MN, the Jews were neither expelled nor ethnically cleansed and tgus no crime was commited, other than more land in the West Bank being stolen to accomiodate them. No bouble standards whatsoever.
“..yet when Arabs boycott other Arabs and keep them in “open air prisons” as Gaza was described earlier, this is because they were forced too.”
Egypt is the receipient of the second largest foreign aid payment fromt eh US, second only to Israel. For that money (ie. bribe) Egypt does what it is told. Who do you think you are trying to fool by playing dumd you ignront troll?
“Your statement that “no state has the right to exist” again is misleading as best, since your constant campaign is based on your heartfelt belief that an Arab state has the right to exist within the borders of Israel.”
False on all counts. The borders of Israel end at the green line and the only suggestion of a Palestinian has been to accommodate it in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, none of which reside on Israel or belogn to Israel.
Lie I said, you’re juvenile and lame Hasbara is almost too easy to debunk.
That definition of ethnic cleansing is imprecise, many others define it differently. Suffice to say that Jews were forced from their homes and lands in Gaza, one could debate that the Sharon government was forced by the US, just as you claim Egypt is forced by the US to blockade Gaza.
Naturally it is very problematic that this crime was committed against the Jews in Gaza because it gives those a pretext to say that Jewish homes and lives are only temporary when in fact Jews have every moral, legal, and religious right to live in the Land of Israel.
Ok so we have established that Shingo, for one, supports the two state solution, I applaud that as a great first step. However there are heavy doubts that the other commenters on this website have the same noble beliefs.
If everyone was like Shingo, I would be more inclined to support a two state solution, yet with a preponderence of Helen Thomas types whose narrative is so extremely against the existence of a Jewish state on any lands, I feel the need to toe the opposite line. I hope you understand.
With Respect,
Max
“Your statement that “no state has the right to exist” again is misleading as best, since your constant campaign is based on your heartfelt belief that an Arab state has the right to exist within the borders of Israel.”
Shingo can speak for himself (and does), but my position is that no state has a right to exist. However, all the people in Palestine have a right to be full and equal citizens of the state established in the area wherein they were born. This is the right that the Zionists deny to Arabs.
maximalistNarrative :
“within the borders of Israel”
Pray tell, where are these borders you speak of?
“the Land of Israel”
Again, where is this?
“all naval shipments towards Gaza must be inspected for weapons that may be used by the HAMAS”
Good idea. Let’s also set up an international committee to inspect all shipments coming into Israel, and cut off all arms shipments, because, according to the US congress, it’s illegal.
You’re all over the place – I’ve tried reading everything you’ve written, but after a while my brain starts hurting.
You’re a liar and fraud maximalistNarrative,
You’re nothing more than a Richard Witty mini me. If the definition of ethnic cleansing is imprecise, the link to a precide official one. Arguin that “many others define it differently” is pure BS because those many others are probabyl Zionist shills liek yourself who reject any argument that is inconvenient.
Some Jews may have left Gaza agaisnt their will, but the their homes were not only illegal, but it’s common knoledge that the Sharon government chose to leave Gaza for pragmatic reasons. Sharon had decided that the resourcs ebign used to protect 8000 settlers in Gaza were better spent defending stolen land in the West Bank.
There was no crime commited otehr than the fact that more ladn was stolen in the West Bank to accomodate these settlers. Homes built on stolen and occupied land are always going to be temporary, because they are illegal.
And no you religous nut job, the when it is not a fact that Jews have every moral, legal, and religious right to live in the Land of Israel. They have a legal right to live in the state of Israel. That West Bank, Eaast Jerusalem and Gaza are not in the state of Israel.
You’ve exposed what a vulgar and superficial liar and propagandist you are. On one hand, you express heavy doubts that other posters on this forum support the noble belief in a 2 state solution, which is a lie in itself, but as it turns out, the only one who doesn’t suport a 2 state solution is you, beasue you evidently regard of Palestine as “the land of Israel” to which Jews have every moral, legal, and religious right to live in.
Yes we understand you perfectly maximalistNarrative. You are a Zionist religious extrmist who thinks that his macabre idology can be made moderate and accetable by sticking to a gentle and calm tone of voice.
The fact is that Israel has made a 2 stat solution impossible, and thus a one state outcome is the innevitable one.
Enjoy the time that Israel has left.

A Zionist State of Mind, A Dreamscape Of Ghosts: One Jew’s Hard Awakening
by Phil Rockstroh / June 2, 2010
(excerpts)
Every human being is born, powerless and vulnerable, into a world they did not create. Ergo, for the awakening heart of the young, it can be a barren land, a dreamscape of ghosts, built by the bony hands of the dead … their mouldering myths carrying the cold of the grave not the eros of the breathing moment. Ghosts such as these curse at the present with the imprecatory psalms implicit in the foundation of the Zionist state — and, as the nation’s history unfurled, became explicit in her policies. Israel’s collective brutalities are the blind thrashings of traumatized souls who, in their agonies, wound all near them.
Such forces of toxic, displaced vehemence can uncouple us from our humanity, warping libido into murderous intent, reducing meaningful endeavor to selfish striving, and twisting our exuberance into zealotry, thereby achieving a form of ass-backward alchemy by transforming living human beings into resentful shades — those seemingly no longer here … reacting rather than responding, reciting propaganda as opposed to seeking meaning, squandering the golden, eternal moment before us by transmuting it into leaden habituations of the mind. For all appearances becoming a ghost, haunting the moments of one’s own life — non-responsive, sans retrograde resentment, to the élan vital of the world — dead, but for the redundancy of one’s breathing.
In this way, the spirit of a culture can become a mob of resentful, vicious ghosts. With ghosts, the context of their suffering is misplaced. They cannot haunt those who gave them injury. Their tormentors are long dead as well. The raging spirits of the Zionist state can no longer locate the historical oppressors of the Jewish people, for they have long since been conscripted to dust. Hence, the adherents of Zionism reap vengeance against those living souls who misfortune has placed near them.
The Jewish state demands its neighbors make amends for crimes they did not commit — to cower before the steel-toe might of its military and make perpetual penitence for the sins of Europe.
Even if they did so: Such an act would not restore my mother’s childhood … would not return to flesh the ashen remains of the millions who made their graves in the winds of twentieth century Europe.
For the Jewish people, as is the case with all humanity, survival in the present age is not dependent on military prowess nor the blessing of an imaginary father in the sky. Awakening to new realities restores meaning and resonance to our lives. Felicity to the putrid, Bronze Age admonitions of a savage sky spirit involving the ownership of desert real-estate only entombs the heart and mummifies the mind.
Accordingly, the most putrefied and pernicious of these fallacies — the delusion that there exists a “Chosen People” — must be the first to be toppled.
God’s Chosen People? Chosen for what reason: First, divinely bestowed entitlement to a parcel of parched landscape, then exile, persecution, extermination? And now for what purpose: Simply to join the brutal ranks of history’s bullies?
When the ashes of the Holocaust cleared, this is the world my mother’s tribe built: A right-wing state that believes its godly mission is to lord over and oppress a militarily weaker people. Moreover, if they resist — starve them, murder them in their homes, drive them into exile. The Israelis seem to be demanding this of the Palestinian people: Why don’t you simply accept your lot as being compliant lessors and stay confined to your ghettos?
Furthermore, if you object, then leave — go into exile — wander the earth without a home. It would seem, over the course of the lives of the last few generations of Jewish believers, the ancient myth has morphed: The desert god has become more of an earthly ironist than wrathful sky-daddy.
In fact, mirroring the ways of their invented father in heaven, some of my blood relatives have become such inadvertent ironists, as they, at this moment, squat in Palestine, bristling with misplaced rage, manic with delusional entitlement, and, on the whole, casting a curse upon future generations that will poison their hearts and cascade through the generations with a terrible symmetry.

If the Jewish flotilla adopts genuine non-violence, we’ll get to test whether an incident that contains conspicuous violence by demonstrators is more effective at changing hearts and minds and changing objective conditions on the ground, or a series of skillful and disciplined non-violent civil disobedience.
The tortoise or the hare. (Patient and persistant, or excited and adrenaline driven – and forgotten in a sea of activist ADHD)
If Israel does relax the blockade to the level that is not functionally a blockade, but still under Israeli and/or international monitoring, is the flotilla desirable?
Its not yet clearly, but is the movement responsive or an irresponsive juggernaut?
“If the Jewish flotilla adopts genuine non-violence”
Damn those Jews, out to destroy Israel!

Hey everyone,
In case you didn’t know.
This Jewish boat thing is a sham. Check this out:
link to haaretz.com
With this discourse i would question why the Palestinians would even let them dock! They are going to recognize Israeli sovereignty over Gaza by allowing them to check their ship even though it would be checked at the departing port. It is almost like they are trying to coopt the Free Gaza Movement and change the discourse.
Where’s the sham, sam? This sounds pretty reasonable to me:
They don’t want the Israelis to search them, will submit to an inspection (for items that could pose a “security risk” – note, not Israel’s definition of “contraband”) if the Israelis force them to, and will refuse to transfer their cargo to anyone but the Gazans.
It’s not a sham, Sam (it sounded good, Shmuel, I had to repeat it); these Germans are the good guys; their leader said:
“… “We just see that a Jewish state is occupying Palestine, laying a siege, and depriving children of the things that they need. We as Jews are saying, ‘not in our name.’ We want to show that there are Jews in the world that are on the side of these deprived people,”
Still, they are acknowledging Israel’s right to embargo Gaza by acknowledging their right to stop the ships.
They miss the point: the issue is not how comfortable the Gazans are in their prison, it’s about their right to freedom.
I don’t see any recognition of Israel’s “right to stop the ships” there, just of the fact that they will probably try. Sounds like a wise move to me. Besides, it highlights the fact that Israel’s stranglehold on Gaza is not a “legal military blockade” (as Israeli spokesliars have claimed), or they would simply board, inspect for weapons and wave them through – something they are very unlikely to do. In other words, they are challenging Israel, calling its bluff: if it’s about weapons, inspect us and you will find nothing.
Remamber Haneen Zoabi in the Knesset? She told one of her right-wing attackers, you think I am carrying a knife, search me! Put the bastard in his place.
Still, they are acknowledging Israel’s right to embargo Gaza by acknowledging their right to stop the ships.
potsherd,
If they acknowledged Israel’s right to embargo Gaza, they wouldn’t be going in the first place.
Seems to me that they are recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over Gaza. What they are doing is what the ICRC and UN do. They try to get permission from Israel before going into the besieged territory. This doesn’t sound like resistance to me. it sounds like you are giving the Israelis legitimacy over “liberalizing” the siege.
As for the quote, sounds like the white man’s burden. Jews going to free the deprived Palestinians. Other stuff they said sounded like J-street discourse.
sam,
J Street is not going to Gaza. These guys are. I think you are being a little harsh.
I don’t see any request for permission from the Israeli ambassador, whom they “informed” of their decision (whether Israel likes it or not – and believe me, it doesn’t), and said that they do not want a confrontation. In their place, I would not want a confrontation either. We know how that can end – even in the best of circumstances (kidnapping, imprisonment, interrogation, physical abuse, theft of possessions, etc.) They want to make a statement “as Jews”, because it will get greater publicity and because they feel they have a certain responsibility (if only symbolic) – not because Jews are better, but because far too many Jews are worse.
“They want to make a statement “as Jews”, because it will get greater publicity and because they feel they have a certain responsibility (if only symbolic) – not because Jews are better, but because far too many Jews are worse.”
Shmuel, I never heard that put quite like that. It’s like getting bitch-slapped by simple words. (If you’ll excuse the expression)
Ouch.
Too much is being made of the German group’s true motives. They simply don’t agree with Israel’s treatment of Gaza and want to show it but at the same time, they are signaling to the crazy Israelis that they don’t want trouble and would go along with their orders for an inspection, an Ashdod detour, or whatever.
Against Boycott and Divestment
Bernard Avishai
link to thenation.com
I assume you guys saw and read this article, a week following Phil and Adam’s.
What’s your point, Witty? So Avishai thinks that BDS stink and so did Avnery and many others are like them but they all still think the occupation itself is evil and stinks. When the Arab League countries boycotted Israel during 20 years or so, I was against it too because I thought it was a big joke and the Arabs were only shooting themselves in the foot by it and most of them eventually dropped it and kissed and made up with Israel but this time with BDS gathering momentum everywhere, I’m all for it and I know it’s working because it’s got a lot of Israelis worried. I still think that Avishai and Avnery are good guys in spite of their stand on BDS. Sorry to disappoint you, Witty.
Bernard Avishai: “Sanction the Israeli government for activities that obstruct peacemaking. Hurt the settlements.”
Bernard Avishai: “Sanction the Israeli government for activities that obstruct peacemaking. Hurt the settlements.”
Avishai basically suggests two tracks, both related to settlement (or “obstructing peacemaking”, which mostly means the same thing).
1. Vague international sanctions on a governmental/organisational level: eg. keeping Israel out of the OECD (which he seems to be pleased wasn’t done), and something about the Pentagon and Aerospace – “if negotiations break down” (negotiations? where?). He’s against anything that might actually hurt his “class” (educated, wealthy, secular, “cosmopolitan”), which he believes must be protected at all costs.
2. Grassroots boycott of settlement products. The settlements produce a tiny fraction of Israel’s GDP, have serious labelling and packaging issues, and have absolutely nothing to do with Israeli settlement policies. One of the biggest and most visible exporters from the OT is Ahava, DEAD SEA cosmetics. There’s a hint there about why they won’t relocate. Of course Ahava could go out of business tomorrow, and it wouldn’t change Israeli settlement policies one iota. But God forbid one should suggest boycotting the institutions and mechanisms that create, implement and facilitate those policies.
In other words, while paying some sort of lip service to some sort of boycott and some sort of sanctions, Avishai in fact nixes the whole idea – because you can’t harm the only “civilised” (my word of course) strata of Jewish-Israeli society, which is in fact just about the only “civilised” (my word again) bunch in whole darn region.
I’ll let the ’67-based fantasy pass this time.
“Against Boycott and Divestment
Bernard Avishai”
Too funny.
Try reading the comments. Every one of them rejects Avishai’s bogus argument.
A few weeks ago, when Israel was accepted into the OECD, [expletive deleted by webmaster; be warned] like Witty were boasting about how BDS wasn’t working, but Israel is more post flotilla massacre, BDS has more momentum than ever,
The international community should be imposing sanctions on Israel.
