The Schalit family on Thursday asked for assistance from international left-wing activists due to arrive in the Gaza Strip later in the day.
If the left-wing activists pressure Hamas to allow international organizations to bring letters and food packages to Gilad Schalit, the kidnapped soldier’s family has agreed to support the international expedition’s attempt to dock, Army Radio reported Thursday.
Lawyer Nick Kaufman presented the offer to the organization “Free Gaza,” one of the organizers of the flotilla headed for Gaza, which promptly refused the offer.“We are disappointed that the organizers of the flotilla have refused to also provide basic humanitarian assistance to our son, who has been held in Gaza four years in contradiction of international law,” said the Schalit family.
Like the leadership of the Palestinians and Arab nations, the international Left has shown that it is far more important to them to hurt Jews than to help Arabs.
They have shown that their pious concern for international law goes no further than the extent to which they can use it against Israel.
They have shown that they are entirely aligned with Hamas, an openly terrorist organization that explicitly espouses genocide against Jews.
Israel has said that it intends to intercept the flotilla, board the ships and bring them to an Israeli port where the ‘aid’ will be inspected and ultimately transferred to Gaza (in addition to the 14,000 tons of aid that Israel sent to Gaza last week). The ‘activists’ on board will be held until they can be deported.
I have a suggestion, and it’s completely serious.
When the ‘activists’ and the cargo have been removed from their vessels, the latter should be taken to the open sea and sunk, in order to deter similar operations in the future. Then the ‘activists’ should be conducted to underground cells, one cell for each ‘activist’, where they will be held incommunicado until Gilad Shalit is freed.
I thought about suggesting also that Israel should follow Hamas’ lead in making videos and putting on plays in order to dramatize the plight of the internees for their families and friends, but this is probably unnecessary.
Update [0904 PDT]: IDF Spokesperson reports: “Top level Islamic extremists linked to Gaza flotilla“.
I believe this key sentence best defines the relation of our adversaries to us.
“Like the leadership of the Palestinians and Arab nations, the international Left has shown that it is far more important to them to hurt Jews than to help Arabs.”
That is to say these are phony huminatarians who have no place for Jews in their compassion and kindness. The fact that they so readily identify with an organization which writes hatred and destruction on its banner, shows who they are.
I don’t know about interning the organizers (a waste of money and Israel does not need to give herself a PR black eye in this regard), but sinking the ships is perfectly legitimate, and would very likely deter such attempts in the future.
Israeli authorities should also make the most of the organizers’ refusal to include anything for Gilad Shalit. Use the PR machine against them to the fullest extent possible.
