Violence and Humanitarian Aid
INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - IPT News ^ | June 1, 2010 | n/a

Posted on 06/01/2010 3:39:00 PM PDT by Cindy

SNIPPET: “Condemnations of Israel’s commando raid on the flotilla trying to break a blockade on Gaza are pouring in after 10 people were reported killed in the violence at sea early Monday.

Egypt announced Tuesday that it would open its border with Gaza, which Reuters describes as “a major boost for Hamas and a blow to efforts by Israel and its Western allies to cripple the Islamists.” Turkey is threatening to send more ships, escorted by its own navy, while there are fears Hizballah will use the incident to justify a new wave of rocket attacks toward Israel.

Was it, as some suggest, the plan of flotilla organizers all along?

It’s worth remembering why the aid was being transported by sea in the first place. A convoy led by then-British MP George Galloway ended in violence at the Egyptian-Gaza border in early January after authorities delayed their entry into Gaza.

An Egyptian police officer was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen. Egypt deported Galloway, made it clear he was unwelcome there again, and told the convoy it could no longer enter through its crossing. Galloway’s partner in that convoy was the Turkish-based International Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), which helped lead the flotilla.

IHH was a key player in the Free Gaza Movement flotilla. Israeli officials say IHH is tied to Hamas, and even to al Qaeda, and it was banned in Israel in 2008 for being “part of Hamas’s fundraising network.” Court papers in the U.S. prosecution of Abdurahman Alamoudi also tie it to terrorist activity, citing French intelligence expert Jean Louis-Bruguiere’s assessment that IHH played “[a]n important role” in the Millennium bomb plot.

IHH also is part of the Union of Good, a collection of charities run by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The union was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2008 as a terrorist entity due to its fund-raising activities on behalf of Hamas and Hamas-controlled organizations in the West Bank and Gaza.”

Daughter of top CAIR official joined HAMAS caravan, met with HAMAS leaders...
THE JAWA REPORT - blog ^ | February 4, 2010 03:57 AM | By Barbarossa
Posted on February 4, 2010 5:41:23 PM PST by Cindy

“Daughter of top CAIR official joined HAMAS caravan, met with HAMAS leaders with father’s support and approval”

SNIPPET: “In late December and early January, a convoy loaded with supplies, vehicles and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash under the banner of the group Viva Palestina, led by far-left UK politician George Galloway, wound its way through Europe, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt to its final destination - the awaiting arms of the Hamas terrorlords of Gaza. Along the way, this convoy was met by a number of Hamas leaders, including several who have been designated as global terrorists by the US government.

In early December, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, asked for both the FBI and IRS to investigate the illegal fundraising and support of Hamas by Viva Palestina in the US.

Included in this Hamas support convoy were approximately 50 US citizens.”

This is nothing new, for the terrorists to hide behind “humanitarian” aid, organizations, etc. Wasn’t the Hezbollah claiming to be a humanitarian organization in their campaign to gain credibility and power in Lebanon?

“Heil Hitler” and “We must just kill all those Jews, man!” — at Copenhagen pro-jihad demo

Henrik Raeder Clausen kindly sends along this video from the pro-jihad, Jew-hating demonstration in Copenhagen last Saturday, along with this translation of some of the notable remarks made there:

00:10:00
Alla-hu Akbar, Alla-hu Akbar
00:32:00
Hitler! Heil Hitler! Hitler! Hitler! Hitler! …
00:40:00
We must just kill all those Jews, man! Then we’d be rid of them, man!
00:45:00
All Jews, man, they will never be loved, never loved.
01:15:00
We are prepared for everything! Prepared for everything! It is you [shouting].
01:28:00
[Interrupting] Give us some Jews!
01:29:00
Now listen up. Now you go home, treading [??] where you want. If you meet some Jews.
01:35:00
[Interrupting] We fuck them, man!
01:38:00
Tell them how many they’ve killed.
01:40:00
Tell them how all Arabs from Copenhagen, how all Arabs from [??], how all Arabs from Hitler, how their punishment will be, for the blood of the Palestinians.
02:00:00
[Assorted shouting, including:] Fucking Jews, man!
02:08:00
Death to Israel.
02:42:00
Kill the Jews.
02:44:00
Allah-hu Akbar
03:08:00
Israel under my foot, Palestine in my blood!
03:18:00
Muhammad Rasul Allah! [Muhammad prophet of Allah!]
05:20:00
Down, down Israel! Down, down Israel!
05:22:00
Down, down USA! Down, down USA!
05:24:00
Viva, viva Palestine! Viva, viva Palestine!
05:25:00
[The banner reads:] Is this defense?
05:30:00
Viva, viva Palestine! Viva, viva Palestine!
05:50:00
Give us some Jews! Give us some Jews! [Explosion heard]
06:10:00
Israel under my foot, Palestine in my blood! Israel under my foot, Palestine in my blood!
06:25:00

“Hamas raids aid trucks, sells supplies”
By YAAKOV KATZ AND JPOST.COM STAFF

SNIPPET: “Hamas on Monday raided some 100 aid trucks that Israel had allowed into Gaza, stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.

The IDF said that since terminal activity is coordinated with UNRWA and the Red Cross, Israel could do nothing to prevent such raids, Israel Radio reported.”

“Editor of the Egyptian Government Daily Al-Gumhouriyya: Hamas, Syria, Iran – The New Axis of Evil”

SNIPPET: “The editor of the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhouriyya, Muhammad ‘Ali Ibrahim, who is also an Egyptian MP, wrote a series for the paper titled “Hamas, Damascus, Iran - The New Axis of Evil.” In the series, he criticized Hamas, Syria, and Iran for their position vis-à-vis Gaza and the opening of the Rafah crossing. Ibrahim stated that Iran and Syria had conspired to keep the Palestinian problem unresolved and to take advantage of it to promote their interests in the region, and argued that Hamas was a tyrannical religious movement which was, like the Nazis in mid-20th-century Europe, pushing its people towards catastrophe by preferring Syria’s and Iran’s interests to those of the Palestinians.

Also in his articles, Ibrahim came out against Qatar, accusing it of sympathizing with the Iran-Syria axis and of airing anti-Egyptian programs on the Qatari TV channel Al-Jazeera. A few days later, the editor of the Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Yousef, ‘Abdallah Kamal, wrote in a similar vein. Both editors called Qatar hypocritical for criticizing Egyptian policy while at the same time attempting to forge ties with Israel and the U.S.

Following are excerpts from the series by Muhammad ‘Ali Ibrahim, and from the article by ‘Abdallah Kamal:”

“’Iranians Are Pro-Israel’ - Part I”

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) An Iranian pro-democracy activist tells Israel National News that the image of Persians as fanatical fundamentalist Muslims is, for the most part, incorrect. However, he warns, the people of Iran will most likely join together in opposing any attack on their country out of a deep sense of patriotism.

According to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Fars News Agency, tens of thousands of students appealed to their government in recent weeks to “authorize martyrdom-seeking volunteers to leave Iran and fight against Israel in response to the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip.” However, the nation’s religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Iranian television Thursday that the government will not be allowing the would-be jihad fighters to travel to Gaza, because “our hands are tied in this arena.”

“A Third Lebanon War?”

Published: January 12, 2009

SNIPPET: “While the Gaza war enters its third week, the question of a second front remains very accurate. Even though lots of experts have asserted that Hezbollah would not enter the war at this point, some troubling elements are questioning this assertion.”

“Gaza Rally In Westwood Chants Intifada”
Written by: Evrviglnt on Sunday, January 11th, 2009

SNIPPET: “So much for peace in the Middle East. I joined several of my conservative friends and bloggers today in a counter-protest of a pro-Palestine rally at the Westwood Federal building in Los Angeles. The rally was organized by the communist funded ANSWER coalition. Beside the numerous Palestinian flags and noxious signs, throughout the crowd walked minions of ANSWER looking to sign up useful idiots for the “people’s revolution.” Among the many pictures I took, I include the books they had for sale. What a gruesome reading list you must wade through to hate your country. Of the hours of chants and speeches I heard today, never once did I hear calls for reconciliation and the peace that comes with it. Not once. I heard Intifada chanted a thousand times. Doesn’t that tell you where our partners in the Middle East peace process are focused on?”

January 12, 2009

Press Conference by the President
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

Video (Windows)
Presidential Remarks
Audio
Photos
In Focus: The Bush Record
9:17 A.M. EST

SNIPPET: “Q Thank you, Mr. President. Do you believe that the Gaza conflict will have ended by the time you leave office? Do you approve of the way that Israel has conducted it? And why were you unable to achieve the peace deal that you had sought?

THE PRESIDENT: Remind me of the three points, will you, because I’m getting —

Q Will it end —

THE PRESIDENT: — I’m getting a little older.

Q Will it end by the time you leave office? Do you approve of the —

THE PRESIDENT: I hope so. I’m for a sustainable cease-fire. And a definition of a sustainable cease-fire is that Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel. And there will not be a sustainable cease-fire if they continue firing rockets. I happen to believe the choice is Hamas’s to make. And we believe that the best way to ensure that there is a sustainable cease-fire is to work with Egypt to stop the smuggling of arms into the Gaza that enables Hamas to continue to fire rockets. And so countries that supply weapons to Hamas have got to stop. And the international community needs to continue to pressure them to stop providing weapons.

Hamas, obviously, if they’re interested in a sustainable cease-fire, needs to stop arming. And then, of course, countries contingent to the Gaza need to work to stop the smuggling. And it’s a difficult — difficult task. I mean, there’s tunnels and, you know, great opportunities for people who want to continue to try to disrupt democracy to provide the weapons to do so.

Second part of your question, please, ma’am?

Q Do you approve of the Israeli conduct in this?

THE PRESIDENT: I think Israel has a right to defend herself. Obviously in any of these kinds of situations, I would hope that she would continue to be mindful of innocent folks, and that they help, you know, expedite the delivery of humanitarian aid.

And third, why haven’t we achieved peace? That’s a good question. It’s been a long time since they’ve had peace in the Middle East. Step one is to have a vision for what peace would look like. And in 2002, on the steps of the Rose Garden, I gave a speech about a two-state solution — two states, two democracies living side by side in peace. And we have worked hard to advance that idea. First thing is to convince all parties that the two states were necessary for peace.

And one thing that’s happened is, is that most people in the Middle East now accept the two-state solution as the best way for peace. Most Palestinians want their own state, and most Israelis understand there needs to be a democracy on their border in order for there to be long-lasting peace.

The challenge, of course, has been to lay out the conditions so that a peaceful state can emerge — in other words, helping the Palestinians in the West Bank develop security forces, which we have worked hard to do over the past years. And those security forces are now becoming more efficient, and Prime Minister Fayyad is using them effectively. The challenge is to develop — help the Palestinians develop a democracy — I mean, and a vibrant economy in their — that will help lead to democracy.

And the challenge, of course, is always complicated by the fact that people are willing to murder to stop the advance of freedom. And so the — Hamas, or for that matter al Qaeda, or other extremist groups, are willing to use violence to prevent free states from emerging. And that’s the big challenge.

And so the answer is — will this ever happen? I think it will. And I know we have advanced the process.

Yes, Suzanne. Finally got your name right, after how many years? Six years?

Q Eight years. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Eight years. You used to be known as Suzanne. Now you’re “Suz-ahn.”

Q “Suz-ahn.” Thank you. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: I’m “Gahge.” (Laughter.)

Q In your 2002 State of the Union address, you identified U.S. threats as an axis of evil — Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Iraq is relatively calm; North Korea is no longer on the terrorist threat list. How would you define, if, in fact, there is an axis of evil? And what is the greatest and most urgent threat when it comes to security that Barack Obama has to deal with?

THE PRESIDENT: The most urgent threat that he’ll have to deal with, and other Presidents after him will have to deal with, is an attack on our homeland. You know, I wish I could report that’s not the case, but there’s still an enemy out there that would like to inflict damage on America — Americans. And that will be the major threat.

North Korea is still a problem. There is a debate in the intel community about how big a problem they are. But one of my concerns is that there might be a highly enriched uranium program. And therefore it is really important that out of the six-party talks comes a strong verification regime. In other words, in order to advance our relations with North Korea, the North Korean government must honor the commitments it made to allow for strong verification measures to be in place, to ensure that they don’t develop a highly enriched uranium program, for example.

So they’re still dangerous, and Iran is still dangerous.

Yes.”

This could also work as a serious program — the Gazans don’t get food or anything else unless they trade in their weapons. Iran would go broke.

“The UN Bailout of Hamas”
By Joseph Klein
FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, January 13, 2009

SNIPPET: “Israel has repeatedly sought genuine peace, but not at the expense of the safety of its own citizens. To Hamas, truces are just stalling tactics to use as lulls during which the terrorists build up their military capability. When asked if he could envision a 50-year hudna (cease-fire) with Israel, Hamas leader Nizar Rayyan (who was finally killed in a recent Israeli bombing attack) responded, “The only reason to have a hudna is to prepare yourself for the final battle. We don’t need 50 years to prepare ourselves for the final battle with Israel. Israel is an impossibility. It is an offense against God.”

Sadly, but not surprisingly, the United Nations has become an enabler of Hamas’s campaign of deceit and of its crimes against humanity. The UN has turned into an instrument for legitimizing the enemies of peace and freedom.”

Syrian Paper: Turkish PM Calls For Sanctions Against Israel

In a speech at the convention of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP), Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the U.N. to impose sanctions on Israel because it was not honoring U.N. Security Council Resolution 1860 calling for a halt of the aggression against the Gaza Strip.

He said that the U.N. must force Israel to implement the resolution.

"Turkey is threatening to send more ships, escorted by its own navy, "

Those same ships will quickly find the bottom of the Med.

From TB2, posted by wardogs, who is a good and informed member there; what was in the ships, and how a good number of the “activists” were paid mercenaries to stir things up:


Channel 1 is reporting 50 flotilla terrorists turn out to be suspected Al Qaeda mercenaries. Over $1 million dollars in cash was found on the boat, including thousands of US dollars in the pockets of some of the bodies.

Israel TV reports that some of the flotilla terrorists were equipped with night vision equipment and ceramic vests. According to Israel’s Channel 2, some of the “activists” were mercenaries who were paid before boarding the ships to confront Israeli soldiers.

Navy Commander: The activists were given money to deal with fighters

It seems that as predicted, they lied about the amount of cargo as well as what it contained. The “medicine” was all oputdated, probably going to be destroyed, but will be delivered anyway. I don’t have all the details yet, but the IDF has described the goods that were on the ships:

‘Equipment not in shortage in Gaza’
http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=177165

“...Twenty-four hours after the last ship of the Gaza aid flotilla entered the Ashdod Port under the watchful eye of the Israeli Navy, all of the equipment on board was examined Tuesday and the majority of it was loaded onto trucks headed to the Kerem Shalom border crossing.

In a statement to reporters at the port on Tuesday, Colonel Moshe Levi, commander of the IDF’s Gaza Strip Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA), said that none of the equipment found on board the three cargo ships was in shortage in Gaza.

“We have been working non-stop for the last twenty-four hours examining the cargo holds of the three large cargo ships and I can say with great assurance, that none of the equipment on board is needed in Gaza. The equipment that we found is all equipment that we have regularly allowed into the strip over the past year,” said Levi. “This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the whole premise of the voyage was for propaganda and provocation and not for humanitarian purposes.”

Among the equipment that the IDF agreed to show reporters were medical supplies, including electric vehicles for handicapped people, wheelchairs, stretchers, hospital beds and boxes of medicine. They also showed crates full of dry food products and children’s toys...”

And how much cargo was on board?

“...Levi said that eight trucks full of equipment had already crossed into Gaza and that 20 additional trucks would be transferred throughout the night and the following day...”

This didn’t include the concrete, though:

“...According to Levi, the soldiers also found construction equipment, including sacks of concrete and metal rods. He said that Israel did not allow those products to enter into the Gaza strip for fear that they would be used to construct fortifications for terrorists and for weapons manufacture...”

Assuming that the article is accurate and the majority of the cargo is being transported on 28 trucks, you can calculate roughly how much cargo was on board.

On the average week, Israel has been sending some 600 truckloads of goods to Gaza, with about 14,000 tons. That means that each truck holds roughly 25 tons or so.

Multiply that by 28 and we get a grand total of 700 tons of goods. This 700 tons is the majority of the cargo. meaning that we know that there is less than 1500 tons of cargo, probably closer to 1000. (The “Rachel Corrie” ship from Free Gaza is still en route to break the blockade, and it is said to have some 500 tons of cement.)

So, as I predicted, the “human rights” frauds have lied about the amount of goods that they were bringing, by an order of magnitude.
Here’s video of the unloading:

“A Danish research institute exposes the links the Turkish organization IHH had with Al-Qaeda and global jihad networks 1”

SNIPPET: “1. In 2006 the Danish Institute for International Studies reported that during the 1990s the Turkish relief organization IHH had links with Al-Qaeda and global jihad networks.2 The well-documented report was prepared by Evan Kohlman,3 an American scholar specializing in Al-Qaeda. The study deals with the involvement of Islamic charitable societies in supporting terrorism. Pages 10-14 are devoted to IHH.”
