Jewish Activists Sail Toward Gaza (to break Israeli blockade)
New York Times ^ | September 27, 2010 | ROBERT MACKEY

Jewish activists from the United States, Britain, Germany and Israel, determined to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza, are sailing toward the Palestinian territory in a catamaran carrying humanitarian aid.

If the 10 passengers and crew members manage to dodge the Israel Defense Forces, they should land in Gaza on Tuesday.

Marion Kozak, the mother of the new leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, Ed Miliband, is a prominent member of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, one of the groups supporting the ship. Ms. Kozak survived the Nazi occupation of Poland and is a well-known human rights activist.

Mr. Miliband, who told London’s Evening Standard last month, “Obviously I’m Jewish, it is part of my identity, but not in a religious sense,” has been outspoken in his opposition to the blockade of Gaza by Israel. His older brother, David, served as foreign minister in the previous Labour government. In an interview this month, Ed Miliband said that British foreign policy in the region should not be too influenced by American policy telling Politics.co.uk:

[O]n the Middle East and Israel-Palestine, they’re always going to have their particular view. We’ve got to have our particular view. So I was certainly outspoken at the time about the attack on the Gaza flotilla. We need to do that. The Gaza blockade needs to be lifted.

According to a statement on the Web site Jewish Boat to Gaza, the voyage of the British-flagged ship, called the Irene, “is a symbolic act of protest against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the siege of Gaza, and a message of solidarity to Palestinians and Israelis who seek peace and justice.”

In June 1948, the Labour-dominated Hagganah fired on the Irgun ship the Altalena as it was getting ready to unload arms and men in Tel Aviv. If the leftists in Israel are willing to kill Jews to control the sea, what do you think a conservative government will do to Jews helping Arabs?

Thanks reaganaut1.
Marion Kozak, the mother of the new leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, Ed Miliband, is a prominent member of... one of the groups supporting the ship. Ms. Kozak survived the Nazi occupation of Poland... Mr. Miliband, who told London's Evening Standard last month, "Obviously I'm Jewish, it is part of my identity, but not in a religious sense," has been outspoken in his opposition to the blockade of Gaza by Israel. His older brother, David, served as foreign minister in the previous Labour government.

They are George Soros / Noam Chomsky Jews.

Soros would have been considered Jewish only according to the Nazi Nuremberg "racial" laws. He effectively renounced his Jewishness when he joined a pro-Nazi organization as an adolescent c. 1944 in his native Hungary, and helped to deport Jews to concentration camps..

Isn't that the internationally recognized definition of a Putz?

Last time Jews left Britain for Palestine, they were going to out to fight (actually terrorise) against the country of their birth or to raise arms and funds for said Jewish terrorists of the Irgun and Stern Gang.

I suppose then this is progress....
