Israel Tells All Israelis To Leave Turkey, Following Raid On Flotilla Bound For Gaza

Another thing for you to be concerned about: Another explosive episode is playing out in the Middle East.

The essence is that the Israeli military commandeered a supposed aid flotilla from Turkey to Gaza. Israel says it was filled with weapons. At least 10 people were killed

The incident drew widespread international condemnation, with Israeli envoys summoned to explain their country’s actions in several European countries.

The criticism offered a propaganda coup to Israel’s foes, particularly the Hamas group that holds sway in Gaza, and damaged its ties to Turkey, one of its most important Muslim partners and the unofficial sponsor of the Gaza-bound convoy. Ankara recalled its ambassador to Israel and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cut short a visit to Latin America to return.

Meanwhile, Israel has indicated to all Israelis that they should leave Turkey, a clear sign of expectations of future escalations ahead.

The following was posted at Daniel Pipes’ website. I hope it is within the rules here to post it as I thought it excellent.

What is left to say that has not already been written, spoken, and predicted numerous times since the creation of Israel in 1948? Lies have been repeated often enough that they are now factoids, and real facts and history are irrelevant to people like Barak Obama, the most unqualified, ignorant, inexperienced buffoon to ever occupy the White House. I know that international diplomacy, foreign policy, and relations with other governments are tricky, delicate matters but hasn’t this charade gone on long enough? Isn’t it time to stop playing diplomatic Russian roulette and either do something or let Israel and the Arab Muslims settle their differences? Sixty two years of constant conflict, U.N. incompetence and meddling, international arbitration, and several wars have accomplished nothing. Eventually the refugees will become so numerous that the international community will be unable to support them, and why should they expect charity and welfare forever? If they are strong enough to wage jihad, spawn excessive offspring they cannot support, and devote their lives to annihilating the Jewish state, they are quite capable of providing their own sustenance. Their wealthy Arab neighbors, like the evil KSA, are certainly financially capable of supporting them and it is more their responsibility than ours. But they prefer to spend billions the West has paid them for oil to spread their vile Wahabbi Islam in Europe, America, and around the globe. They build mosques and send their rabid clerics to spread the hate, intolerance, and megalomania of Islam. They finance wars, infiltration, sedition, and Muslim invasions of non-Muslim countries. They don’t give a damn about the Palestinians and they sure don’t want them in their desolate hellhole. So they buy them some bombs, missles, and RPG’s to lob at Israel and join the rest of the Islamic world to bitch and moan about the evil Jews.
The Muslim Arabs, recently dubbed the “Palestinian people”, do not want peace with Israel, they want Israel. They have clearly stated that they will never accept the Jewish state and that their goal is to drive the Jews into the sea. A temporary truce is the most Israel will ever get from the bellicose, supremacist Arab Muslims, a brief respite to allow them to recoup, rearm, and plan their next war against the Jews. Even if they wanted to, the Muslims cannot agree to a permanent peace treaty because Islam forbids it. Everybody involved in the infinite “peace” negotiations between Israel and the “Palestinians” know this yet they all pretend that a permanent peace treaty is an achievable goal. The endless, fruitless, hopeless efforts to accomplish the impossible are despicable because they create an illusion of hope to many and prolong the inevitable. And the Palestinian perpetual refugees proliferate.
Obama has made it very clear that he is sympathetic to the Muslims and does not have a clue what is at stake or who the real aggressors are. Israel will survive his arrogance and ignorance, but at what cost? America might not survive his brutal assaults on freedom, security, the free market, and the fight against Islamic supremacism and terrorism. While the Arab Muslims in Palestine continue their efforts to destroy the Jewish state, immigrant Muslims continue to invade the West with the same goal-—to claim it for Islam, which is synonymous with destruction. If Israel ceased to exist tomorrow, the jihad against the non-Muslim world would persist, probably with a renewed vengeance. The Jews are not the problem; Islam is the problem.

Thanks much-Pipes is right on! He calls a spade a spade. Calls it like it is, and doesn't go for any of the PC crap. That posting has all the earmarks of being a real classic. Below is a post I had made some time ago, but it at least adds some humor to the terrible mess Obama has placed our country in. God bless our Veterans on this Memorial Day. Thank you to all of you from another Veteran.

Mom's Memory

Normally, I don't post a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching.

I want all of my friends on Free Republic to feel what I felt when I first saw this beautiful tribute. My hope is that it touches your heart just like it did mine.

A little boy said to his mother:
"Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?"
His mother replied, "Don't even go there, Barack!
From what I can remember about that party,
you're lucky you don’t bark!”
