Flotilla Might Be Blessing For Israel’s Iranian Dispute
Jun 7, 2010 Political
The Iranians have been threatening to wipe Israel off the map for a number of years now and Israel has had to listen to the trash talk with little or no support from the international “community.” Iran has been working its way toward nuclear weapons as the world pretends to care and pretends to be working to stop them.
There was once word that Israel would attack Iran before allowing it to produce nuclear weapons but any discussion of that is poo pooed by the US government. No matter what happens and no matter what is said, Israel turns out to be the one blamed in any conflict.
An unrelated situation might give Israel the chance to knock off Iran without having to be the ones to start the conflict. The so called peaceful humanitarians have been attempting to run Israeli blockades and have been turned away. A recent attempt ended in bloodshed and death as the “peaceful” people attacked Israeli soldiers and were justly sent to meet their makers. The group has vowed to keep sending ships until it is able to break the blockade. A recent ship was boarded and taken to an Israeli port for inspection. The people on that ship learned from the deaths of the others and did not attack the Israeli soldiers.
This particular situation might be what pits Israel against Iran. The Iranians have stated that they would send their Navy to escort the humanitarian aid vessels.
“Iran’s Revolutionary Guard naval forces are prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenceless and oppressed people of Gaza with all their strength,” pledged Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei’s personal representative to the guards corps.

If the Iranians escort those vessels and refuse to stop then the Israeli Navy will be pitted against the Iranian Navy and the Iranians will not stand a chance in that particular engagement. The Iranians are only offering to help in order to provoke the Israelis but the ploy might benefit the Jewish state.
Once the Israelis get rid of the Iranian Naval vessels escorting the flotilla the encounter will be more than enough reason for the Israelis to attack Iran and keep on attacking until that place is unable to mount any future offensive operations. It might even be sufficient enough to end the Iranian’s nuclear ambitions.
This potential situation can only be a good thing for Israel. It will have reason to take care of Iran and will not have started the conflict.
All because the people who refuse to do things the proper way insist on breaking the blockade.
See, some good can come from this whole mess.
Maybe the Iranian plan is what Hillary was talking about…
Never surrender, never submit.

No Need For Independent Investigation
Jun 1, 2010 Political
A flotilla of ships containing humanitarian aid ignored an Israeli naval blockade that has been in place since 2007. The Israelis boarded the ships and their military members were attacked by people on the ships. The soldiers were using non lethal force but asked for and received permission to use deadly force. Nine people were killed in the confrontation. Many countries around the world have condemned Israel and called what they have done a crime. Barack Obama said the incident was a tragedy and should be fully investigated by an independent source.
The Israelis have investigated what happened and have stated that they were right in what they did and the lethal force was justified. This should be sufficient for Mr. Obama and he should rescind his call for an independent investigation. The Israeli military looked into its actions and that should be good enough.
After all, that was sufficient for Obama with regard to the possible bribe offered to Joe Sestak. The White House investigated what happened and said nothing improper happened.
End of story.
Never surrender, never submit.
