I wasn't going to post on this issue, but I find it a bit disturbing that the world has been so quick to judge the actions of Israel against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Unlike most people, I had been following this story for a few weeks before the raid even occurred, and since the raid I have read most pieces on the issue from both sides. Personally, I cannot see any way in which Israel can be accused of unjustifiable actions based on the information we have. The fact that the world has been quick to judge this issue only tells me that there is another agenda behind this, just like there was another agenda behind the coverage for the war in Serbia and the war in South Ossetia. And to be quite honest, the evidence so far, in my opinion, favors the Israeli side of the story, at least for the most part...for now. And to be clear, I am not an Israeli supporter, nor a Palestinian for that matter, but in the past I have supported both sides on different issues, and most of the time I have favored the Palestinian side. So based on the evidence and my informed opinion, this is where I stand. And the only reason for this post is to invite my readers, no matter which side you support, to evaluate this issue a bit more critically. And since we have been inundated by the media to side against Israel, I will post a few things here to put another perspective to this issue and give it a bit more context.

ReplyDeleteTerrible post Mr. Anonymous. In this instance I support the Israelis. Unfortunately and surprisingly they had planned it poorly. I would have waited until that ship was in the deepest portion of the ocean and then I would have sank it. That would teach the Islamo Fascist Turks a good lesson. Lesson would be, keep your distance and stop playing games or else!They are the troublemakers who eventually will attack Greece and start world war 3.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Israelis fell for this setup. They should of just let the boats pass instead falling into this political trap. I wonder if Israel illegally harvested the body organs of the victims like they have in the past? They used to do that sort of thing, I wonder if they still do that?

ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous, Your comments and writing behavior are similar to someone we all know in the five boroughs. Is your name Foti or the other one? Cut it out!
ReplyDeleteFor information behind the Israeli intelligence concerning the terrorist links between IHH and Al-Queda, see this site:

This is why Israel set up the blockade.
Anonymous, where does it say in the canons that those who have love and sympathy for anyone should be excommunicated. You may want to see what the Gospels say about hate.

"No matter which side you support... evaluate this issue a bit more critically..." You have higher expectations of your readers than is wont, I'd wager. Perhaps optimism is a virtue. Keep up the good work, gent.
ReplyDeleteIDF Retracts Claim al-Qaeda was on Flotilla, Corporate Media Silent
ReplyDelete------------ can we really trust Israel for the truth?

Excuse me, but in the eyes of many orthodox that are not US citizens, the Israeli State is only one more politic organization as the governments of other nations, without any infallibility…
ReplyDeleteFor political and perhaps cultural motivations several orthodox faithful in the USA, think of Israel as some “special” as much the Vatican think of Jews and Judaism as elder brothers.
Aparently there are who, following the lead of the Roman and Reformation Churches that think the reconstituting of Israel is a reestablishment of the “Old” Israel.
The Christian “gentile” Church is New Israel, since it has replaced old Israel and the accomplishment of God’s promises. We presume that God (that loves all men) is finished with the rabbinic Jews as an antichristian sect. They are not the Hebrews of the prophecy, predecessors of the Lord.
For that reason, we as Christians must judge the actions of the Israeli State as the actions of any other state with or without religion.
Stupidity of the worst species is the name of an deliberate attack on unarmed supporters of Palestine and his only motivation is haughtiness, impudence and the sense of impunity.

Reclusive Turkish Imam Criticizes Gaza Flotilla
ReplyDeletehttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704025304575284721280274694.html?mod=rss_Today's_Most_Popular
Read below:
"Weakness invites aggression. Any sign of weakness emboldens an aggressor."
- Jeff Kuhner, radio host
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
- Barack Obama, from his second biography– "Audacity of Hope" (2007)
"Why have almost 200 countries of the United Nations arisen to condemn Israel within 48 hours of the Israeli-Turkey confrontation in Gaza, yet refuse to condemn North Korea for wantonly killing 46 South Korean sailors in a torpedo attack in March and allows Iran to possess enough uranium to build two nuclear bombs?"
- Ellis Washington, law clerk at The Rutherford Institute.
The Israel Defense Forces boarded the largest vessel after repeatedly warning the ships that they would not be allowed to breach Israel's naval blockade because Israel suspected that the ships were carrying weapons to terrorist groups like Hamas, the PLO and Hezbollah – weapons used to kill Jewish civilians.
Obviously, self-defense was justified when IDF soldiers first boarded the largest Turkish boat and were savagely beaten by "peace activists" with poles, kicked, shot and even thrown to a lower deck – a 30 foot fall!
In unison came the parade of Horribles: the United Nations, the Muslim states, liberal Democrats and virtually every nation in the world to condemn Israel for its "massacre," according to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and "inhumane Zionist regime action," according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
After several days of failing to act decisively to defend our hapless ally Israel against the savage aggression of Muslim terrorists disguised as "humanitarians," President Obama stayed true to his international policy found in his second biography: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction," calling Israel's attack on the Turkish flotilla "tragic."
Why is it "tragic" for any nation to zealously defend its borders?
You people need to start praying feverishly. This is a very very dangerous situation we are ALL in at this time. The beast of satan is in our midst. It is very obvious. Israel is being set up for a slaughter. GOD will not allow it to happen. Amen.

“In a critical article noting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and senior government officials preach to the chorus of right-wing and Christian fundamentalist groups in the United States…When Netanyahu travels to Washington, he speaks before Jewish audiences…When he’s not speaking to right-wing Jews, he’s speaking to right-wing Christians.”

Two testimonies from the Flotilla crew worth watching:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e112.htm
The questions are:
ReplyDeleteAre we Jews or are we Christians?
Is the Christ the Son of God, Our Lord, and Messiah, or we attend the jewish “messiah” or the Islamic “mahdi”?
Are the “preventive violence”, the “preventive murders”, the “religious fanaticism” and the “racial pride” justified for Christian ethics?
Why, as Orthodox Christians (or as “mere Christians”, in the words of CS Lewis), some ones thinks that is Israel preferable in a civil war of antichristian monotheistic heretics (or pagans) as are the Jews and the Mohammedans?
