    Cool Flotilla hilarity

    OK something isn't quite right here, another aid-ship headed to Ghaza with the usual lot, islamists, and leftist islamphiles who always condemned all violence but never do. Israel fired a few warning shots, Egypt doesn't want them either, so by now they have no choice but heading to Ghaza because they, wait for it, ran out of supplies. You couldn't make it up.

    I agree Fragony
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Some leftists are silly, yes, but I'm not sure what this proves.

    The hardcore islamophile left is no more mainstream than the far-right.

    I know there is often a sense that even the average politicians are islamophiles. But that is only because of the rhetoric they use when it comes to immigration and multiculturalism. At the end of the day they still support Israel for all its flaws, and they are starting to turn against the "multicult" with comments by Merkel and Cameron etc.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Human biengs require more than one form of supplies. It is perfectly conceivable that they ran out of some key supply (such as potable water) and can have a hold full of useful material but it next to useless if you're going to die of dehydration.

    Oh yeah that's possible, but these clowns claimed to be delivering food, and they ran out of it.

    and they also claimed they ran out of food?

    tho frag is possibly right about this ship XD it does seem a bit fishy all together.

    Looking for non-partisan coverage of this, finding nothing but mouthpieces for the two sides. According to the Israel sympathists, it's much as Frags says. According to the Palestinian sympathists, it's another thing entirely. Not seeing any write-ups in any mainstream news source. Post linkies if you find 'em.
