Can unarmed seaborne civilians break the siege of Gaza?

Oftentimes, being skeptical of so-called histories and historical information is a good thing.

Did you block this from your memory, or do you just enjoy feeling like you introduce new Arabic words to people online?

Ah! that thread where you showed yourself a total ignoramus on the meaning of dhimmitude and other things mohammedan! Thanks for reminding me, Dave... or should I say "Dawud"?  Done shahada-ing, yet?

Your scope is a little narrow here.  First, the Nazis are the ones that killed 6 million Jews.  Don't forget that little fact.

Thailand?  Um, yes.  Try reading a little once in awhile.  Not all Jews came from Eastern Europe, especially in the last decade when they have come from all over the world.  Including Thailand - There have been Jews there since the 17th century.  There are 3 large synagogues in Bangkok alone.  Take off your myopic glasses for once.

No, I am not a Social Darwinist.  I am just stating that if "might makes right" in countless other international scenarios, then why is this conflict such a big deal?  Why do all of these traditional Catholics on Fisheaters defend radical Muslims?

Hamas?  You're defending Hamas?  Are you serious?  And you have the audacity to wonder if I am a traditional Catholic when you defend Hamas?  Huh?

Yes, innocent civilians in Palestine are children of God.  Duh.  Radical Islamic terrorists are not.  It sure would be nice if every once in awhile those "innocent"  Palestinian civilians would stop their radical Islamic brethren from launching terrorist attacks against innocent Israelis. 

Innocent civilians in "Palestine",therefore Palestinians,see they really exist,duh.

Yes Hamas was legitimately democratically elected,see democracy really does work,not in racist nationalist Israel though.

Jews in Bangkok? lol!!

I "might makes right",then don't whine when Iran drives that little hate state known as Israel into the sea.I certainly won't.

6 million?or was it 60 milion/or maybe 600 million?I don't know,they changed the number all the time,one things for certain,just about no Christians died from what I've heard, in WW2,maybe a few million German civilians,but hey,they were just evil Nazi's anyway,just collateral damage.

Yea I really wish them damn Palestinian kids would stop throwing rocks at the American-mad Israeli tanks,kinda like poking a bear with a long stick.

I'll trust the Jew-loving Wikipedia more than a nutter on a forum.

Well of course!  The only way any of us lowly scum at Fisheaters can know what those terms mean is for you to explain them to us.

I am posting 2 links from Chania, Crete harbor; The presumed, on my part,  location for the official launch of the SS Free Gaza and the SS Liberty.

   Dear Gaza Friends:

Well, today is the opening of the Olympics, and it's also the day the boats have set sail for Crete. After solving several small technical problems and waiting for the weather to clear, FREE GAZA and LIBERTY are on their way to Chania, Crete, arriving there tomorrow. We will have a press conference, and it will be the first time photographers will be able to take photos of the two boats as they sail into the harbor.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty Arrive in Chania, Crete, Saturday, 9 August at 21:00 p.m.

 

For further information, contact:  6932 766496 for directions, or Greta Berlin, 00375 99 08 17 67



Nicosia/Lefkosia, Cyprus, August 7. The Free Gaza Movement announced today that their boats, destined to break the Israelis' siege of Gaza, will arrive in Chania, Crete, on Saturday, August 9, at 9 p.m. and that a press conference will be held to welcome their arrival. "Internationals are gathering across the world – in Beijing and Cyprus – with the common dream of peace and justice for everyone."

Human rights activists Lauren Booth, journalist, (sister in law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair), Huwaida Arraf (a Palestinian-American residing in Ramallah, Palestine), and Jeff Halper (an Israeli Jew who was nominated for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for opposing demolitions of Palestinian homes) will be available at the press conference for interviews.

"This will be the first time that our two boats will be publicly displayed and photographers are welcome to come, take photos and post their images." said Paul Larudee, on board the boats sailing toward Chania.


The Free Gaza Movement is endorsed by an impressive array of international groups and personalities including South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Former Prime Minister of Lebanon Dr. Salim Al-Hoss. For additional information, www.freegaza.org

We are a week late, but we are more determined than ever to go to Gaza. By now, almost half of the people are on board or traveling to the boats, and those of us left in Cyprus are finishing up our training, working on banners and trying to control our impatience. When we called the people of Gaza to tell them we would arrive a week late, their reply was, "Don't worry. We know you are coming. And we are waiting," a testament to their confidence that 40 Internationals, two small boats, and tremendous media attention can somehow defeat the Israeli Navy.



Some of the survivors of the USS Liberty have written to us and asked us to be on one of their programs tomorrow night. They wrote this request of us:

 
What is the possibility of you and the crew of the SS Liberty throwing 34 long stemmed roses into the sea as a memorial to the 34 Americans who were killed aboard the USS LIberty? We will pay for the roses or whatever else you have in mind. I guarantee you our newspaper American Free Press will give a HUGE spread in the paper for it. The survivors of the LIberty and their familes would be eternally grateful to you and your ship mates for this gesture as no one has ever done anything like this before.

Another wrote:


I am one of the survivors of the USS Liberty.   A very tired man who woke up somewhat when I heard of the
SS Liberty. I was the petty officer in charge of the body recovery and identification, and I remember it almost like it was yesterday.
 
May God Be With You
 
So, when we leave Cyprus next week, we hope to have a ceremony for all of those Americans killed by the Israelis on board the ship in 1967.

The media attention has been intense in Europe, people calling constantly asking for interviews. If you GOOGLE Free Gaza, Cyprus, you will see dozens of stories about us and the boats and the response from here. So many angels have stepped in to help, from offering us their homes, feeding us, and driving us around to media appointments. One man called us today and told us that he would loan us the money to cover our expenses for the boats and the equipment, because, "You are making history."
