You recently wrote an essay, “Why I’m Sailing to Gaza,” in which you tried to defend the indefensible; namely, your intention to violate international law by attempting to penetrate Israel’s legal blockade of Gaza, purportedly for the purpose of delivering aid to the suffering Gazans—although in this case the aid was only a cache of letters of solidarity and the true purpose of your voyage is a misguided, self-aggrandizing incitement designed to ultimately reflect badly on Israel.
You are a writer and know that words are important and can be powerful, but you are best known for your works of fiction and evidently have failed to come to grips with the facts, the historical realities of the Israeli/Arab conflict. Your obsession with exculpating the Arabs from any responsibility for their condition and statelessness, and your habit of singularly condemning Israel for all the defects in the region, is disingenuously framed with your fatuous comparisons between the conditions in Gaza and those experienced by blacks in the Jim Crow south. While you give some credit to two “good” Jews, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, who you have to admit put themselves at risk by participating in, and dying for, the American civil rights struggle in the 1960s, you and your fellow activists regularly try to frame the Palestinian issue in the context of race, with Israel as a racist regime that humiliates, segregates, and discriminates against hapless, victimized Arabs on racial grounds, in your contorted view a system equivalent to apartheid. The “good Jews” of the civil rights era, you insinuate, have been replaced by the “bad Jews” of the brutal, colonial, occupying Israel.

The flotilla needs to sink every time it approaches. Mysteriously. Unsafe waters.
I am human, kind hearted even, but this boat trip to Gaza has me ready to say sink the damned boat with everyone on it.
Gaza isn’t hurting, they get everything they need. Still this pack of international commies and busybodies are stincking their nose’s where they don’t belong.
Sink the damned things an do the world a favor if they all go down with the ship.
Hope you dumb idiots can swim. You better make sure enough life jackets are available and a jump overboard drill is instructed.

That said,

I wonder how the author feels about Mexico's citing of "international law", saying Texas can't execute murderers if they are Mexicans?
A pox on international law.
why don’t they sail to Libya? That is where the injustice
is taking place.
We could pay some Somali Pirates to hijack these ships///
Yeah, that’s the ticket,
Pay pirates.
The pirates and the “flotilla” are on the same side.
This is an example par excellence why the ‘progressives’ (a liberal by any other name would smell as foul) are a danger to civilisation. They view no law as binding save for the law they impose to restrain their opponents. So they are willing to create international incidents as individuals, and they bring the same contempt for law to the international arena. Israel is justified in impounding or doing whatever is necessary to make it clear that the blockade is not a ‘media event’ but a necessary cutting off of arms and material to terrorists.
Dear Sir/Madam
If you are a passenger or crew member of a boat deemed a threat to the citizens of Israel or are in a vessel that shields, supplies or transports enemy combatants you will be considered an enemy and will be dealt with in a manner consistent with enemies of Israel.
warmest regards and sincerely
IDF/IAF
p.s. if your behavior on shore or back in your home country is deemed to be a threat to Israel you will be treated as an enemy as well.
warmest regards and sincerely,
Mossad

And in a quasi-related point, Alice, the irony is that millions of Muslim wives deal with their own "Misters" every single day.
“Hamas leader from Holland Amin Abu Rashid has been seen in recent days training with a Gaza-bound flotilla crew in Greece, according to a report by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf on Thursday.
Rashid, described as the “brain” behind the flotilla, helped arrange the purchasing of the Dutch boat expected to be used in the expedition, De Telegraaf reported.
Rashid also allegedly organized the majority of the funding for the flotilla, the report said.”

If this is true, and I'm sure it is, then Alice Walker and other US citizens are guilty of aiding and abetting a terrorist organization. They should be treated accordingly.
But under this administration, that means being welcomed to the WH with open arms.
Because Libya doesn't have a bunch of NEW WATER PARKS, paid for by Israeli citizens.
Who wants to go to a hellhole when they can enjoy themselves, having had 'sponsors' PAY for the transportation and tickets to the parks?
I’ll admit it’s rare when I wish I had my own personal sub, loaded with torpedos. Today I found myself daydreaming about just that (with a couple young honeys at the helm).
I don’t see this as a display of “compassion”. The Gazans aren’t that needy. This is just more of the left-wing politics that goes back to the 1960’s.
Alice Walker is compelled to attack Israel because she sees Israelis as imperialists and colonialists. Straight out of the 1960’s. Such people are incapable of change, and incapable of seeing facts that don’t fit their world view.
Mosaad members dressed like Johnny Depp, needs to sink the nasty ships.
