Israel Planning the Murder of More Peace Activists

Libya or Gaza, Which Is America’s Real War?

DOCTORED ISRAELI VIDEO: MAN WALKS THROUGH SOLID STEEL

Last summer, Israel attacked the Gaza Flotilla, murdering 9 peace activists.  To excuse this, they created phony radio traffic, doctored videos, staged a phony investigation and set their press goons into motion, displaying their direct ownership or control of 95% of America’s “free press.”

This year, another flotilla has left for Gaza but the law is different now.  Mubarak, Israel’s puppet dictator in Egypt is awaiting trial and execution for treason and corruption.  Egypt is no longer a partner in the Gaza blockade.  Without Egypt taking part, the Gaza blockade is illegal.

International law is clear on this, unless a blockade is comprehensive, it is deemed a “paper blockade.”  Anyone can say they blockade anything but that doesn’t make it legal.  The Gaza border with Egypt is now open.  A blockade by sea is now legally an act of piracy.

Stopping ships on the high seas was always piracy.  When America “quarantined” Cuba in 1962, it almost led to nuclear war with Russia.  Ships containing nuclear missiles were turned around by the US Navy.  None were boarded and no one was injured or killed.

Last year, Israel murdered 9 peace activists on ships carrying only medical aid.  Witnesses attest to executions, not killings in self defense.  Even if the ships had been fully armed and had fired on the Israeli boarding parties, they would have been within their legal rights.

Technically, there is absolutely no legal difference between Israel’s actions in the Mediterranean and the Somali pirates.  In fact, the Somali’s treat their captives better and are far more polite.

Has anyone heard of a phony Somali investigation or been subjected to a photoshopped video by them?

Real pirates, even today, seem to have a code of honor.  Calling Israel’s navy pirates is an insult.  Real pirates deserve better.

Why is Israeli piracy in the Mediterranean a “veterans issue” you might ask?

In 1967, the Israeli navy tried to board an American ship, the USS Liberty.  They napalmed and torpedoed the ship, killing or wounding 174 out of 203 crew members, strafing lifeboats and machine gunning medical personnel.  Their plan was to murder the entire crew and blame it on Egypt.

We know this for certain.  Yet, today, Israel and her friends in the US say the crew members are liars, defame the dead, and continually assail a group of American heroes, members of one of the most decorated crews in American naval history.

Until the crew members, survivors of the USS Liberty receive the apology and tens of millions owed in compensation from the government of Israel, America’s veterans are going to consider any repetition of this act of barbarity accountable.

Thus, in light of what we have learned, reliable sources come forward telling of Israel’s ties to the 9/11 attacks, we look at the Israeli video and the phony investigation.  We then think of our brothers in the New York’s fire and police who gave their lives.

We remember Building 7.

Failing to see a parallel, in light of so much new evidence would be remiss on our parts.
