Barak: No humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Israel will defend itself

You are such a low life Robert Spencer. Truely are a lowlife. I have seen the situation in Gaza, as have 1000s of others. Every single respected human rights organisation has stated the exact same thing, Gaza is bordering a humanitarian crisis and you sit here and accuse them of making it up. You sit here while Gazan's are starving.

You are the lowest of the low. As if proof was ever needed ofn how much you despise Muslims, and especially Palestinians. This is it.

You've exposed yourself 1 too many times already Rob. You're not fooling anyone. Do the honest thing and come clean about what you really believe. I have far more respect for people like Pamela Geller & Debbie Schlussel, as much as i despise them, at least they are honest about their hatred of Islam, Muslims and Palestinians. Its all smoke and mirrors with you. You hide behind lies like a dirty stinking morally bankrupt coward that you are. If there is a hell, people like you will fill it. I cannot think of anything more despicable than people denigrating & denying the suffering of a people like has been done with the holocaust and now even with this.

Predictably, street protests against the boarding of the Gaza flotilla are occurring all over the place, including here in the UK, so we need to show our support for Israel. Here is the text of an email I sent to my MP this morning:

"Dear Mr.......

After hearing the news this morning I was saddened to hear of the loss of life which occurred when IDF forces boarded and detained the ships of the flotilla intending to deliver various materials to Gaza.

However, I feel it is important to bear in mind that the flotilla was warned in adequate time, by the Israelis, that the ships would be intercepted if they persisted in their provocative action, and that alternative ports such as Ashdod were offered to the flotilla to legally and peacefully unload their cargoes. Despite claims that the flotilla ships were crewed by 'human rights activists' these are people who are singularly silent on the human rights of Israeli citizens to live in peace without a constant barrage of rockets and mortar fire from the Gaza strip. These 'humantarians' are little more than apologists for, and therefore supporters of, terrorist organisations such as Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel - even though Israel is an internationally recognised legitimate democratic state, a staunch ally and a constant friend and supporter of this country, with every right to protect itself, its borders and civilian population.

While any loss of life and injury is regrettable, the Israeli Defence Force was doing no more than its duty in preventing such a deliberately provocative action which, if allowed to succeed, would have surely led to flood of copycat actions, any number of which could all too easily be used as a cover for arms smuggling.

May I therefore urge you to be mindful of the opinions of many British people and those of us in your constituency who support the Israeli people's right to live in peace, and to encourage our government to actively and openly support the Israeli government and the IDF who safeguard the security of Israel.

Thank you for your attention."

Everyone should write to their representatives as soon as possible. Let our voices be heard. Don't let the supporters of jihad dominate this issue.

These concentration camps don't look like those one in the the old time.

Oh cut the victim bullshit.

No Human rights organistion has denied Israel's right to defend itself or its right to exist, and they have always condemned rocket attacks agaisnt Israel.

ISRAEL attacked the ship. Israel attacked the ship at Night in INTERNATIONAL waters. Any loss of life is ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT. This was nothing more than act of Piracy and shows Israel's blatant disregard for human rights.

Please spare us the crocodile tears. You are not bothered by any loss of life. As far as you lot are concerned, they are terrorist supporters therefore they got what was coming.

What a sorry propaganda attempt if i ever saw one. The world isn't buying Israel's lies and propaganda anymore. No amount of cries of Anti semetism is going to silence the people of this world who have a conscience.

20 people have died, and only thing people like you care about is justifying Isarel's thuggish behavior.

"Remember Khybar!"
I believe that was a slaughter of the Jews, wasn't it?

NOT ONE ISRAELI

prevents supplies going into Gaza from EGYPT

If you are concerned about the situation in Gaza

BLAME EGYPT

I'd gladly live along side them any day of the week.

Phoenix, cool your flames -- you're just sounding irrational, and more than a little ridiculous.

No humanitarian organization denies Israel the right to defend itself? Well, I suppose that depends on

(a) Your definition of "humanitarian organization";

(b) THEIR definition of what it means for Israel to "defend itself"

Sending troops to intercept a flotilla of ships whose purpose is clear provocation by violation of a well-known protective corridor by a coalition of organizations with known ties to Hamas and Al Qaeda is a perfectly sensible example of Israel defending itself.

Now look at any list of organizations that condemned the action. There you'll see multiple counterexamples to your claim -- if you count "humanitarian organizations" among such lists (I am inclined to question their bona fides on that very basis).

There are NO credible reports on either side indicating that the IDF attacked violently first -- they merely boarded the vessels in order to prevent their entry into Gaza. The IDF behaved according to standard protocol and responded with lethal means only when it was necessary to defend against potentially lethal violent attacks upon them. They used standard mob-suppression tactics, with the exception that the actions were carried out in an extremely complicated operational environment, with extremely close engagement.

It was the aggression of the "activists" on the ships that caused loss of life. Had they engaged in so-called "peaceful resistance" instead of becoming a violent mod there would have been no deaths. But, as we see so often in these groups, loss of life is the very point of the exercise for them -- it matters not on which side. If it's IDF soldiers, Allahu Akbar! We have won a great victory over the kuffar! If it's the insurgents, it's rich ore from which to mine more victimization propaganda for the "solidarity" machine.

As soon as control was gained the IDF helicoptered wounded INSURGENTS to emergency medical care in the best equipped Israeli hospitals. Their humanitarian behavior is second-to-none. You need only pull up videos and photos of what happens to an IDF soldier who gets caught by a Palestinian mob (ritual evisceration, brutal bludgeoning to death, desecration of the body) to know that there is no moral comparison between the IDF and their enemies in this regard. They did what they had to do, and committed no more violence than was forced by the activists themselves.

This must be the only 'humanitarian crisis' in history that has produced 20 stone porkers.

"Hey Phoenix,calm down this morning ....Take a cup of coffee and some good relaxing pills.....and if you like so much the little terrorist Bastards call palestinians, these Scums of the earth. Why don't you go live there and STAY there forever, everyone will be very happy to never see you again."

Yes! Get out of our country! You are such a low-life, "phoenix," - you are the lowest of the low. You Muzlim Hater, you Jew-Hater, you racist, you bigot, you follower of the mass-murder-commanding moon god, allah.

You pathetic creep. You deserve to be despised. DESPISE "phoenix!" It deserves to be despised. Like Islam, it's Fascist/Nazi mass-murder ideology, invented by a Warlord. DESPISE islam - it DESERVES to be despised.

G'day Robert, Can you tell us when and where the photo at the top (captioned "Starving in Gaza") was taken ?
