From the time that Israel relinquished its control over the Gaza Strip in 2005 until it retaliated with a military invasion of the strip in 2008, the southern part of the Jewish state was subjected to a daily bombardment of rockets launched by Hamas and other Palestinian militants. Did the world condemn the firing of more than four thousand rockets at Israel? Of course not! But it sure as hell condemned the Israeli self-defense invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Reacting to the world outcry over the deadly raid on the Gaza-bound ‘aid’ flotilla, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would "not allow the establishment of an Iranian port in Gaza." Now the Israelis have boarded another ship bound for Gaza after it refused to change course, this time though without any injuries or loss of life.
The whole world knows that Iran is supplying Hezbollah and Hamas with weapons to be used against Israel. Hamas refuses to recognize Israel and has vowed to destroy the Zionist entity. But the world doesn’t give a shit about the Jewish state – as far as the world is concerned, Israelis are the Nazis of the 21st Century.
The Obama administration has joined the British foreign ministry in insisting that the blockade of Gaza be lifted. Mike Hammer, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said "The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed." UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay went further by insisting the Gaza blockage was illegal.
Didn’t President Kennedy order the United States Navy to blockade Cuba in 1962 during the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’? As I recall, our navy intercepted Russian and other Soviet block ships in international waters and forced them to abandon their efforts to reach Cuban ports. But that was when we were threatened with the accumulation of weapons by the Castro regime. Why is it OK for us to defend ourselves, but not Israel?
You would have to be a person with a sub-zero IQ not to know that Hamas would receive thousands-of-tons of military weapons and war materials if the Gaza blockade were to be lifted. Nevertheless, the Obama administration is stabbing Israel in the back by insisting that the blockade must end. But what would you expect from a president who is reaching out to the Muslim world. In effect, Israel’s only ‘friend’ is saying ‘fuck you’ to the Jewish state.
