TEHRAN, June 14 - Iran is sending aid ships to blockaded Gaza, state radio said on Monday -- a move likely to be considered provocative by Israel which accuses Tehran of arming the Palestinian enclave's Islamist rulers, Hamas.
One ship left port on Sunday and another will depart by Friday, loaded with food, construction material and toys, the report said. The boats would be part of international efforts to break Israel's isolation of the Gaza Strip.
"Until the end of the Gaza blockade, Iran will continue to ship aid," said an official at Iran's Society for the Defence of the Palestinian Nation.
While Israel has long suspected Iran, which rejects the Jewish state's right to exist, of supplying weapons to Hamas, Tehran says it only provides moral support to the group.
Israeli troops two weeks ago boarded a flotilla of Turkish aid ships heading to Gaza on May 31 and killed nine pro-Palestinian activists, most of them Turks.
Public opinion in Muslim countries was outraged by the killings. An official of the Iranian Red Crescent Society's youth organisation said some 100,000 Iranians had volunteered as potential crew for aid ships, Iran daily reported.(continued)

You sure got that right!
However,their own sense of superiority has led them to conflate Israel with Obama.They seem to think that without America,Israel is nothing much to be concerned about.
Tell that to God!
This could be the start of something very big!
I wonder how many of those Big Boy Toys that go BOOM are on board..
Iran-Hizbollah-HAMAS-Turkey are going to make a MAJOR provocation so hold onto your horses folks! They need to shift attention away from Teheran’s nuclear program by starting a regional conflict...who knows, maybe these ships are carrying a “dirty bomb”? In any event, these Jihadis are feeling ever so emboldened because Pres. Obama is...out to lunch. God provide Israel with the Shield (DEFENSE) of David! Note that the symbol is Islam is a sword (OFFENSE)?
On a boat chock full of freedom loving peace activists?!...perish the thought!
I suppose sooner or later Israel is just going to have to say to hell with what the world thinks we need to send a strong and very clear message.
It's not hard to imagine Obama flying into a fit of rage if Israel decided to act with extreme prejudice without consulting him.It would illicit a lot of true colours from all over the place I think.
These ships will probably be sunk and the “fun” will begin. Obama is an incompetent Marxist and has no clue as to why this is happening and how it is directly related to his appeasement policy.
[PING]
This is just pure, absolute insanity!
I’m praying for the IDF troops who will have to defend the blockade from Iran’s warship (because it is NOT an ‘aid’ ship...).
God bless Israel, and all her people. May He guide the Israelis’ weapons and actions against the evil approaching their shores. God please be with the soldiers in the IDF, and all who fight against evil.
May Micheal, the Archangel be with those who are true to Your Word. Lord, I pray you send your heavenly armies to help us, and have mercy on us all. Protect us especially from those people, powers, and principalities that seek the ruin of not just our lives, but our souls. For surely the devil is at sea tonight with that ship. May those plotting evil be snared in traps of their own making according to Your will. Please Father, awaken all those who can be reached - may they see and hear the truth. Amen.
Maybe they save the weapons for attacks on northern Israel, rather than southern.

But then again...
Iranian Rep in Syria: Iran Has the Right to Send Weapons to Hizbullah and Hamas
Yeah, toys, did you pick up on that? Not medicine, not clothes,.....toys. Reason: They need fuzzy little teddy bears for the MSM to film and show the innocence of it all. These guys are too much, huh?
A Powerful prayer, LibertyRocks!
According to the Book of Daniel, The Archangel Michael has had to Contend for Israel against the evil one from Persia on at least one other occasion.
It seems, from the context, that Michael is assigned to defend Israel against Persia(Iran).
Of Course, Michael WON, but there WAS a struggle.
These are not easy times we live in.
Stay in Prayer, my FRiend.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Amen indeed.
The significance is direct action. Prior to this there have only been fiery Iranian words. Action is always by surrogates.
Why has surrogate action been dropped?
INDEED. WELL PUT.
THX.
AMEN!
Israel is almost there. The glaring world double-standard is, I think, unprecedented. Iran must try to force Israel’s hand, to provoke them so they can start a war. It’s pretty clear to all except the President, UN and international community. By sacrificing Israel they hope to stave off the eventual attack against them...it won’t work. Czechoslovakia 1938? Israel 2010?
Where is Bank E-Moon? He knows the ships are coming yet he still calls for an “impartial” (that’s a good laugh) international inquiry into the previous flotilla affair.
This could be it folks and it’s 3:00 AM, the hot line is ringing and Pres. Obama is vacationing, playing golf, showing steel-hard determination to blame others and bowing to anybody who just happens to be in his general vicinity...
