Breaking: Turkish flotilla heading for Gaza?
Israel Matzav ^ | 11/2/11 | Carl in Jerusalem

Posted on 11/02/2011 9:38:48 AM PDT by Nachum

A report I've just received on Twitter claims that there's another Turkish flotilla headed for Gaza (Hat Tip: Earl Peacock via Twitter).

Flotilla heading for Gaza today consists of Irish boat MV Saoirse and Canadian vessel 'Tahrir'. 15 people on Irish boat, 12 on Canadian

The source of that tweet is Mary Fitzgerald, a foreign correspondent for the Irish Times, who says that this has all been confirmed to her by the organizers.

My guess is that this is a trap by the Turks who still have their nose bent out of shape that Israel interdicted one of their previous vessels that sought illegal passage to Gaza. My hunch is that this ship contains nothing important. In other words, I think the Turks are setting Israel up.

Flying in Gods face again. If the Lord decides he wants to make 80 foot waves just for fun I won’t complain, but I’ll smile alot.

Israel will defend herself with His help.

I suspect that the “submersed object” will be a sub form Iran trying to sink an Israeli ship.

I take it there is not a Turkish boat in the flotilla like the Mavi Mamara? Erdogan has been flapping his gums constantly over drilling rights, flotillas etc. He’s spoiling for some sort of incident so he can puff up and sound tough to the Arab Street.

It’s time Israel sent two flotillas. One to the Greek part of Cyprus and the other to Kurdistan. See how the Turks like it.

The flotilla to Kurdistan might be hard to do.
