Terror Detainees Prefer Gitmo to Algeria Repatriation
..and who wouldn’t? WaPo article gives the lie to the human rights industry whiners’ chorus:
The Obama administration would quickly send home six Algerians held at the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but for one problem: The men don’t want to go. Given the choice between repatriation and incarceration, the men choose Gitmo, according to their lawyers.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler had ruled that the claims of Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, 49, who has been held at Guantanamo Bay for more than eight years, “are of great concern.” She said the court must ensure that there is “real substance” behind any diplomatic assurances obtained by the administration that detainees repatriated to Algeria will be treated humanely.

Israel Mulls Response as Many More ‘Aid’ Flotillas on Way

The Love boat? Not really. The Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara waas packed with hardcore, armed Islamists intent on a battle
Sponsored by some of the worst human rights abusers on the planet and backed by some of the most hard left political groups, The Flotidiot craze looks like being this summer’s meme. At least this means that some of those on board will be getting a long-overdue exposure to water:
Tel Aviv – Ships from several countries, including Iran and Lebanon, have reportedly left or are planning to leave for Hamas-controlled Gaza in defiance of an Israeli maritime blockade on that territory.
Israel considers Gaza-bound convoys a security risk because of Hamas’ ongoing efforts to smuggle Iranian rockets and other weaponry into Gaza since the Iran-backed group overthrew the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in a bloody coup there in 2007.
Israel Security Agency Director Yuval Diskin has been quoted as saying by the non-profit organisation, The Israel Project, that a port in Gaza would “pose a huge security threat to Israel.” Read the rest of this entry »
Friday Flotilla Fun: Another Moonbat ‘Peace ‘N Love’ Boat approaches Israel
As yet another ‘peace’ flotilla’, this time headed up by the MV St. Pancake, a.k.a. the MV Rachel Corrie – yet another Hamas useful idiot boat, this time filled mainly with Irish lefties and named after a far-left peace activist who got too close to an IDF bulldozer – heads through the Mediterranean for an inevitable confrontation with the IDF, in an attempt to violate Israeli sovereignty and commit another blood liel against the Jews; we thought we’d bring you a little light relief in the shape of Israel’s funny-and-getting-funnier satire team, Latma TV.
Started and run by one of our favourite writers Caroline Glick, together with a witty and talented team of Israeli performers; here they take the scalpel of parody to the hypocrisy and self-righteousness of this week’s Jihad on the high seas.
Avast there, me hearties…arrrgggh!
IDF: We Were Lynched by Armed Mob on ‘Aid’ Flotilla
See video above as Israeli Navy officers plead with the ‘aid’ Flotilla to comply with instructions to deliver their cargo via Ashdod port. Boarding parties were reportedly met with a lynch mob armed with guns and knives.
So much for all the ‘we will not use resort to violent resistance’ crap from the Islamo-left ‘flotilla’ alliance:
Armed Navy ships escorted boats from the Gaza protest flotilla to Ashdod [where they should have gone originally, had delivering humanitarian aid been their genuine objective - Ed] on Monday afternoon, hours after IDF soldiers and activists clashed in a fatal raid.
International activists aboard the ships opened fire on IDF soldiers who boarded the ships to prevent them from breaking the Israeli-imposed sea blockade, the IDF said Monday. Read the rest of this entry »
