...that was to be one of the floatilla vessels to Gaza with humanitarian supplies. Certainly the global community and the USA cannot ignore this level of hatred against 'the innocent' in seeking to help those that 'time has forgot.'
I realize there is much that Hamas has done through violence in the name of their concept of freedom, but, it has been over two generations of hatred that creates these huge hurdles for everyone. The people need relief, not weapons, not munitions, not permission for more hatred.
Certainly, there has to be some kind of maritime authority that can insure Israel that the boats are seeking nothing more than to bring humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza and global attention to the plight of the people there. It isn't as though Israel is a filthy rich country. That is the truth of nearly every world power on Earth these days. The only entities with money are the filthy rich.
I have stated this over and over and over again, so long as countries feel threatened by each other, their resources go to soveriegn defense rather than domestic needs, the building of infrastructure, expanding their brain trust and economic harmony.
This needs to end for everyone and Israel should not have to 'guess' what is coming into Gaza that could ultimately hurt, maime or kill any of their children or citizens. We have recently witnessed far more technical munitions fired into Israel killing a young man. There is every reason for the global community to react as Israel does, but, also to react to the sabotage that is all too convincing to launch an investigation to such a desperate act.
The shame also belongs to a USA Senator that advocates military intervention instead of PRECAUTIONS and resources to insure a successful flotilla. The military intervention would cost not only monies, but, lives as well. Shame on him.
I am grateful to the Captain and mechanics of the boat to be this astute in their inspections. We are all grateful the inspections did not lead to injury or death either.
