Anti-Israel activism is neo-colonial arrogance in the drag of pacifism.
I’m old enough to remember when being a peacenik meant you wanted less Western meddling overseas, not more. Seems things have changed. Exhibit A: the Gaza flotilla. These smug sea-farers pose as peace activists, like Mother Teresa in a keffiyeh. Yet behind the humanitarian pantomime there lurks a brutish neo-colonial urge to rally the mighty nations of the West against the uppity little state of Israel. Some on the flotilla are openly calling on powerful states to send their warships to help ‘break’ Israel’s blockade of Gaza. You can call that ‘aid’ if you like – I call it warmongering.
The war-lust of these oceangoing narcissists was spelt out in a column in the Guardian last week. It was written by David Adler, head of the Progressive International think-tank and sailor on one of the boats headed for Gaza. It is not enough for states to ‘offer protection to our civilian fleet’, he said, referencing Spain and Italy’s decision to send frigates to guide the flotilla through the Med. No, you must ‘join us’. You should be ‘deploying vessels’, he said, and ‘at the scale that corresponds to the severity of Gaza’s present suffering’. He ended with a battle cry that will have had the bourgeois Israelophobes who lap up the Guardian cheering over their granola: ‘It is not too late for states to step up and join our mission.’

When did Muslim men become so tolerant of women wearing the keffiyeh?
When I was in the Middle East, that was frowned upon and I never saw a woman wearing one, even in the more laid-back countries like Jordan.
Now I see gross lefty women wearing them all the time.
How long does it take to sail from Gibralter to Gaza??? Three days tops?
I don't think these bozos even left port yet.
A fools flotilla! Satanic outrage towards God’s people is no way to go through life! It onky leads to destruction for eternity- there is no payoff! Its a fool’s agenda
Throwing homos off the boat for peace.
Shhhh. Keep quiete. Burn the pinch of incense.
When they see the idiot westerners swallowing islam hook, line, and sinker.
They know then it’s just a matter of time before their conquest is complete and then it WON’T be tolerated any more.
Lol
“rally the mighty nations of the West against the uppity little state of Israel.”
Israel is what these pathetic pipsqueaks can get tough with. Ha, and people here are expecting the same pussies to take on Russia.
