Pro-Palestinian activists said they would test Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip with another ship, and Egypt opened a crossing into the Palestinian territory after at least nine activists died when Israeli commandos boarded a flotilla headed to Gaza a day earlier.
Egypt, which has enforced the blockade with Israel since Hamas militants seized control of Gaza three years ago, said it was opening the border for several days to allow aid into the area, the Associated Press reported.
The governor of Egyptian's northern Sinai district, Murad Muwafi, said it was a humanitarian gesture meant to "alleviate the suffering of our Palestinian brothers after the Israeli attack."

there goes the blockade
Sink this one.
Guns, digging tools, missiles, explosives...
Is it me, or does this seem like a prelude to war on Israel?
World war is coming from this even, Israel enemies are frothing at the at mouth, it will not end, but build and build, here it goes folks, one nutty group of people are going to bring about the end of the world.
And the US remains silent as our ally is bullied into allowing weapons shipped to its’ enemy.
Perhaps the Arabs could respond as rightously for the victims of the indiscrminate missile attacks in Israeli territory (including Arab casualties). These attacks were being prevented by this blockade, I presume the countries (and UN) supporting the ‘peace activists’ (the ones using the metal rods to beat the Israelis) will take responsibility when the missiles kill innocent civilians in Israel.
And, Obama will stand with Amandenijhad and his Anti-Semitic buddies.
” I presume the countries (and UN) supporting the ‘peace activists’ (the ones using the metal rods to beat the Israelis) will take responsibility when the missiles kill innocent civilians in Israel. “
‘Responsibility’??
Don’t you mean, ‘Credit’??
While I would hope that, if inserted, the men went down with firearms loaded, I’d much prefer that they simply sink whichever bucket is dispatched.
After all, there aren’t that many Israelies, and there are far too many liberal idiots and mooselimbs!
Fish need to eat too.
What will the Egyptians do when the ‘Palestinians’ try to bust out of their self-created hellhole and into Egypt?
The governor of Egyptian’s northern Sinai district, Murad Muwafi, said it was a humanitarian gesture meant to “alleviate the suffering of our Palestinian brothers after the Israeli attack.”
The Israeli attack didn’t affect one of your so called Palestinian brothers. They had every opportunity to unload the “humanitarian aid” at Asdod, have the cargo inspected and then proceed to Gaza. This was nothing more than a setup by the Turks and US lefties and now all of Israel’s make believe friends are fallling back into line. Israel is going to receive unbelievable pressure over this manufactured crises. They better batten down the hatches and get ready for the self-righteous grandstanding.
”I presume the countries (and UN) supporting the ‘peace activists’ (the ones using the metal rods to beat the Israelis) will take responsibility when the missiles kill innocent civilians in Israel. “
‘Responsibility’??
Don’t you mean, ‘Credit’??
Should have added the sarcasm tag.
