Drudge has a smattering of headlines full of headlines of nations sending new ships to challenge the blockade, one even from Ireland, what the heck ???
Has the world gone mad, I think the blockade is NATO sanctioned yet NATO countries themselves are defying the blockade?
I'm very angry over this and worried for Israel. I know the Lord is on their side but they have been harrassed so much, I hate those that hate them but it's a righteous hatred, a hatred of wickedness and evil.
I don't know what we can do other than pray. I wish anybody was our President other than Obama, clearly Israel's enemies are surrounding her now that our president has basically sent all the right signals to her enemies. Who knew that in barely a year as president one man could ruin this nation, but it's not just him, it's all the godlessness, and that's most of our nation. We are about to be majorly punished I am afraid, or rather, left to our own devices since we've chosen to kick God out of our country. Probably a major terrorist strike.
Anyway, the beasts of the field are surrounding Israel, she is on high alert, and even supposed Christian nations are surrounding her. This is a terrible sign and foretelling of things to come. I am sure this is going to spiral out of control ...
Sorry for the Vanity, but I'm so angry over this, it's all been foretold, it's happening as plain as day right before us. Islam is the beast of revelation, it is not the catholic church as so many had predicted. Maybe the woman riding the beast is the USA, after all lady liberty has stood as our symbol for long.
pure evil
That will be one fine day.
Count me as “ticked off”, but God will not abandon Israel nor His covenant with Abraham.
You got it...you name it and it’s yours! Such a deal eh?
Just correcting the record. I never take anything personally - especially on FR!
heavily armed with paint guns and pistols?
You first statement is untrue. Israel did not attack a ship in international waters. They contacted the ship by radio and politely invited (using that word) the ship to dock nearby where ships are routinely inspected and processed through to their destinations. This is done under NATO authority in concert with Egypt. I watched the video of the Israelis talking to the ship, it is available on the net. Subsequently the ship refused to dock and attempted to proceed toward Gaza.
Israeli forces later boarded the ship without deadly weapons and were attacked by the peace activists who are assisting Hamas and the Hezbos. The activists want to break the blockade (also being enforced by Muslim Egypt until today) so bombs and other weapons can be smuggled into Gaza.
What exactly did Israel do wrong?
A good argument for the free US states to secede from the fascist, anti-Semitic states.
2. Bullet proof vests, night vision goggles and other clearly non civilian aid items have been discovered so far.
3. The ship was notified priot to boarding that an inspection team was going to board.
3. 50+ suspected terrorists being detained carried no identification BUT carried packets of large amounts of cash.
Oh yes....last but not least, knives, baseball bats and metal poles can and do kill. If someone approached me wielding any one of those threateningly, I'd unhesitatingly put 2 or 3 dead center mass.
Nam Vet
I pray for Israel.
We are tracking the ships and are under orders to stop them, a top navy officer said.
According to the sources, in a future operation, the navy would use more force.
We boarded the ship [the Mavi Marmara] and were attacked as if it were a war, one officer said. That will mean that we will have to come prepared in the future as if it were a war.
OUTSTANDING!
Don’t get too worked up about it; Jews are happiest when they’re surrounded by their enemies. In fact, they hardly know any other kind of life.
What makes you think that I wouldn’t like ol’ Curtis LeMay??? Strong Defense is an Awesome Offense! Israel is perfectly capable.
