The Other Side of the Equation..
14 October '12..
Guess what? A new flotilla is on its way to Gaza, this time from Sweden. We come in peace, they say. The ship is now sailing with “activists” dressed up as conscious driven freedom fighters, that for some reason don’t see any reason to sail to the thousands being murdered in Syria these days, just a few miles away. So lets stop the costume party for a moment, examine the true facts, and strip these “activists” down to who they really are.
The Gaza border is open. Morsi, the new Egyptian president, has decided to embrace Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules Gaza, and the border between Egypt and Gaza has been open for months. Also, In the past year more than 1.2 million tons of goods have been transferred to Gaza through the secured border with Israel. all that remains closed is Gaza’s access to the sea, so as to prevent massive shipments of rockets to Hamas. Rockets which have continuously been fired on civilian Israeli cities in the past week, by the way.
Oh, have you not heard of these rockets? Sadly, I’m not very surprised. These things don’t get much coverage anymore, because it’s become a bit boring and happens almost every day. The rockets were the official Hamas response to the Israeli unilateral disengagement from Gaza six years ago. In other words: that’s what started happening when Gaza was actually freed.
There were a few news items in the past week that you may have missed. One of them was about a Human Rights Watch report of the horrifying torture and executions by Hamas inside Gaza. Yes, these Hamas people are cruel barbarians and the Palestinians are scared to death of them, literally. That’s why there aren’t any voices from within complaining about them. Why aren’t there activists trying to save the Palestinians from the Hamas grip? Perhaps because there aren’t many activists who want their body organs torn apart and their families killed. Hamas is an organization you don’t want to mess with, believe me.
Apart from the naval blockade, Gaza is actually free. All it has to do for the blockade to be removed is commit to stop firing at Israeli cities. But Hamas don’t want to commit to such a thing. Why would they? The Hamas charter calls for the annihilation of Israel. Hamas doesn’t really want freedom, it wants death. Don’t take my word for it. Look it up and read for yourself.
Another item you may have missed was about a tweet sent by the Free Gaza founder, Greta Berlin. Before sailing away, she tweeted that “Zionists operated the concentration camps and helped murder millions of innocent Jews”, making it sound like the holocaust was some kind of a Jewish scheme. In this woman’s twisted mind, one of the horrors of the holocaust, which was forcing Jewish prisoners to participate in the mass murder of others in order to save their own families’ lives, is some kind of “Zionist conspiracy”. I guess there’s no limit to the distorted imagination of the bigot’s mind. But at least now you know who runs the Free Gaza operation and what their true motives are, despite the fact that they manage to get such good PR.
Last item you may have missed, was published on a site called Foreign Policy, a site with a very fine look. It posted an article explaining why US officials believe that the US would be much better off if Israel ceased to exist. Just like that. Today, you don’t have to be blunt like Hitler or Ahmedinijad to call for annihilation, you can use intellect and be politically correct. The very thought, so unbelievably racist, was spotted for what it really is and therefore wasn’t much quoted anywhere else. But sadly, there will always be room on the web for antisemitic material, especially if it dresses up so nicely and pretends to be something it’s not.
Extreme left pro-Palestinian movements have become a great hiding place for the new antisemitic racists of this world. Old style racism gets no sympathy anymore, so they have found a new way. They dress up as activists, they completely twist the truth, they collaborate with extreme Muslim groups because “the cause justifies the means”, and they completely ignore true horrific breaches of human rights in this world. They say “free Gaza”, but they mean something else. They don’t deal with Hamas or send goods to Gaza through the open borders for a very simple reason: it doesn’t serve their true purpose. So don’t let them fool you – they are not driven by freedom fighting, they are driven by hate.
