As the nine-ship “Freedom Flotilla” approaches Gaza with thousands of tonnes of aid for the Hamas ruled territory, the extremist views of some of its participants have been revealed by an Israeli newspaper. Ynet (the English language version of Yediot Aharonot) carries an interview today with Greek university professor Vangelis Pissias, a prominent activist aboard one of the ships.
Pissias is quoted by the newspaper as saying the following: “We’re helping the Palestinians, just like the Greeks helped during World War II against the Nazis.” Turning to the question of Palestinian terrorism, he added: “These people are doing what reality causes them to do.”
Frankly, that some members of this group hold such appalling views is not really a suprise. But it is useful to have this on the record as the flotilla’s journey draws to what its organisers hope will be a very public finale.
On another matter, the Israel/Apartheid nuclear story continues to linger in the air. Cif Watch has another extensive posting about it today which readers should find interesting.
