A incident provoked by genocide-minded jihadists gains traction among those anxious to demonize Israel and see those jihadists as victims. “Mideast: Flotilla; Israel’s Crimes Could Lead To War, Syria,” from ANSAmed, May 31 (thanks to Insubria):
(ANSAmed) – BEIRUT, MAY 31 – In its first official statement on the Israeli attack on the humanitarian flotilla headed for Gaza, Syria called the operation a “barbaric” move. Quoted by Lebanese press agency Nna, President Bashar al Assad and Lebanese Premier Saad Hariri harshly condemned the “crime committed by Israel with this barbaric attack on defenceless civilians”. The joint statement quoted by Nna continues that Syria and Lebanon “invite the international community to take measures as soon as possible to end Israel’s crimes, which could lead to war in the Middle East with repercussions far beyond the regional borders”.(ANSAmed).
