..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.

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.

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!

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 »
