US Asked to Look into American Backers of Gaza Flotilla
inn ^ | 6/7/10 | Maayana Miskin

The United States should investigate the American backers of activist flotillas that challenge Israel's naval closure off the coast of Gaza, an Israeli human rights group said Monday. Shurat Hadin (Israel Law Center) chairwoman, attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner has sent a letter asking US Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the “Free Gaza” movement (FGM).

Free Gaza is a US-based group which aims to undermine Israel's control of waters off the Gaza coast.

The Free Gaza organization is providing military assistance to Hamas by attempting to break the Israeli blockade while Hamas continues its attacks on Israeli civilians, Darshan-Leitner said. In doing so, it is taking part in attacking a state friendly to America – a violation of the U.S. Neutrality Act (18 U.S.C. 960).

Look into it? Barry was probably monitoring tweets from his friends on the ships as they were sailing.

Eric Holder is going to investigate Billy Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn? Right. Like he’s gonna check up on two of the very few people who could rat out his boss.

A bit off topic, but I happen to be listening to the Howie Carr show. A Jewish man called in, and when he and Howie were discussing why so many American Jews vote Dem, the caller said, ‘All I can tell you is that if you had an election between George Bush and Hitler, some of the Jewish people would vote for Hitler.’ Maybe I shouldn’t laugh. It was a good call, and I was glad to hear the man’s perspective.

One could say that about most democRATs.

It is just, as a Jew, it is particularly painful to me to see my fellow Jews put a noose around their own necks. Especially as they want my neck on the line as well.

I was hoping I wouldn’t catch flack for just quoting the caller. (I hope he was exaggerating at least a little.) I should have given the context. He and Howie were swapping stories about their vain attempts to talk their liberals Jewish acquaintances and, in the case of the caller, relatives, into voting Republican. But who knows? Maybe Obama and his unsavory band of radicals will change some minds, and create new conservatives in the least likely places.

A silver lining.

the “Free Gaza” movement (FGM).

Goodness, and I thought FGM stood for female genital mutilation! We're running out of abbreviations for muslim outrages.
