Israel's blockade of Gaza stands. 15 Hamas-supporting activists with guns were justifiably killed.

Israel's naval forces stood up to the 'pity-party' of whining activists who attempted to break the legal blockade of Gaza (where there are Hamas terrorists who use rocket fire to attack Israel). Some activists opened up with live fire on Israeli boarders, and were justifiably shot.

According to the IDF, the international activists “prepared a lynch” for the soldiers who boarded the ships at about 2 a.m. Monday morning after calling on them to stop, or follow them to the Ashdod Port several hours earlier.

There is much international whining and crying. The New York Times is beside herself. Israel's heard all of that before, but being tough and resilient, won't back down.

From the NYT, more of the same...

JERUSALEM — The Israeli Navy raided a flotilla carrying thousands of tons of supplies for Gaza in international waters on Monday morning, killing at least 10 people, according to the Israeli military and activists traveling with the flotilla. Some Israeli media reports put the death toll higher.

The incident drew widespread international condemnation, with Israeli envoys summoned to explain their country’s actions in several European countries. The criticism offered a propaganda coup to Israel’s foes, particularly the Hamas group that holds sway in Gaza, and damaged its ties to Turkey, one of its most important Muslim partners and the unofficial sponsor of the Gaza-bound convoy.

The killings also coincided with preparations for a planned visit to Washington on Tuesday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Great. We'll see our Wussie in Chief make long faces and pass a few slurs. But they'll be Presidential Slurs, mind you! Not your average mean-spirited schoolyard slurs, but actual Hahvaahhd high-class slurs. Which Israel will shrug off. She's been slurred by better than Obama.

The Israeli Defense Forces said more than 10 people were killed when naval personnel boarding the six ships in the aid convoy met with “live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs.” The naval forces then “employed riot dispersal means, including live fire,” the military said in a statement.

Kick ass and take names. Damn, but Israeli forces are good!

Then the lying starts, from the "pro-Palestinian Free Gaza Movement" (a hate group) Greta Berlin:

“That is a lie,” said Greta Berlin, a leader of the pro-Palestinian Free Gaza Movement, speaking by telephone from Cyprus. She said it was inconceivable that the civilian passengers on board would have been “waiting up to fire on the Israeli military, with all its might.”

“We never thought there would be any violence,” she said.

Oh, really now, Greta? Remember, these "Palestinians" you support think nothing of strapping on bombs, on themselves, on their women, on their children, and blowing themselves up given an Israeli target. What makes you think they will restrain themselves when a few soldiers are boarding their vessels? You, ma'am, are yourself a lying bitch.

Here's the truth.

At least four Israeli soldiers were injured in the operation, some from gunfire, according to the military.

A military statement said two activists were later found with pistols they had taken from Israeli commandos. The activists, the military said, had apparently opened fire “as evident by the empty pistol magazines.”

Of course these Palis opened fire. They can't restrain themselves. Even the most 'peaceful' amongst them will attack an Israeli on sight. They can't help themselves; their Prophet and his manuscript of hate gives them all the leeway they need to commit atrocities. They should be blockaded, until they reform their sorry religion.

At a press conference on Monday in Jerusalem, Israeli deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon said the flotilla’s intent was “not to transfer humanitarian things to Gaza” but to break the Israeli blockade.

“This blockade is legal,” he said, “and aimed at preventing the infiltration of terror and terrorists into Gaza.”

I stand with Israel. Do what you have to do.
