Israel Braces for Pro-Palestinian ‘Flytilla’Posted on Jul 7, 2011
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists are expected to arrive at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport Friday in a “flytilla” that the organizing campaign “Welcome to Palestine” says is simply an invitation to supporters to visit friends in the West Bank and Gaza. An ever-jittery Israeli government, however, isn’t taking any chances. Israel’s public security chief already has denounced those planning to take part as “hooligans,” and the media reported that hundreds of extra police are being deployed at the airport. —BF

When will the world accept the Jews as a “special people?”
According to Gary Ackerman, congressman from Long Island, and
quoted in the Jerusalem Post, professing his Zionism.
“The Jews are a “separate” people, Jewish legislators from around the
world must represent Israel, Palestinian statehood initiative is
devastating…While many differences exist among Jewish
parliamentarians, the concept of ahavat Yisrael– literally, “love of Israel”
– is common to us all. It is for this reason that 55 Jewish
parliamentarians from 22 countries have assembled in Jerusalem under
the auspices of the World Jewish Congress….
“I don’t believe that increasing attacks on Israel’s right to exist and
efforts to label its acts of self-defense “war-crimes” or even “crimes
against humanity” are actually rooted in a belief in international law, or
a principled evaluation of Israeli military operations.What I believe is
really driving most of these claims is a deep-seated and
stubborn refusal to see Jews as a separate people.”
Israel/Jews in a sense are above international convention.

Sometimes I’m thinking Zionism equals Fascism, in the narrow sense that it
Report thisincludes a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group over another.
Also there’s the paranoia.

Martin Luther King once said ” The greatness of America
Report thisis the right to protest for rights”. I guess that
doesn’t apply to that system of aparthied we call
Israel.What are they afraid of democracy? If the United
States were true to its word they would force Israel to
come to the table and negotiate a real and lasting
peace. If were are really trying to promote freedom in
the Arab world we must begin with Israel. But the fact
of the matter is that Netanyahu doesn’t want peace. He
wants to keep building in the west bank and keep is
system of apartheid going all supported bt the USA

This is new. Residents of Gaza are to be put into
quarantine? Or maybe the residents have been designated
as lepers, people who have been rejected or ostracized
for unacceptable behavior, opinions, character or the
like - anathema, outcasts. Either way, exposure to
them is apparently a threat to their Israeli jailers.
(Actually, probably no more than all that tourist trade

Jerusalem?)

“every country has the right to prevent entry of disrupters and provocateurs at its borders”
Couldn’t agree more, Mr. Prime Minister.
