Moonbat’s MidEast Medical Misadventure

When not provoking the Capitol Police, on duty to protect her, into tussles over whether or not she has to show them “any stinking badges”, this former jewel of the Democratic Party is all about giving aid and comfort to the enemy…of Israel.
Yesterday the Palestinian News Network (no, not CNN, the other one!) reported that the so called “Free Gaza Movement” was sending supplies to the Gaza strip:

On board the SS Dignity are three to four tons of urgently needed medical supplies. Dr. Khalid at Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital told the crew on Saturday that the “majority of cases are critical shrapnel wounds from Israeli gunboats and helicopters, with an approximate 80 percent who will not survive.”
Among the Free Gaza organizers is Eliza Ernshire who said, “We have calls for surgeons willing to go into Gaza and work there throughout this crisis. The doctors inside are exhausted and unable to cope with the number of wounded.”
On board the ship expected to set sail on Monday are four physicians. Among them is Dr. Elena Theoharous, a surgeon and member of Cypriot parliament. Former United States Congresswoman and Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney will also be making the voyage. And local hero, Al Jazeera correspondent formerly imprisoned in Guantanamo, Sami Al Hajj, is also expected.

Because medical supplies without your own moonbat are like a day without unicorns!
Today, it was reported that the best laid plans of moonbats and men are wont to go awry! This according to Al Jazeera:

A small boat, damaged as it tried to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, has arrived in the Lebanese port of Tyre.
The Dignity started taking on water after it was hit by an Israeli naval vessel as it approached the Israeli coast with its cargo of medical aid.
The Free Gaza Movement, which organised the attempt to reach the territory , said their boat was “rammed” and shots were fired when at least four Israeli vessels confronted them in international waters.
Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for Israel’s foreign ministry, denied there had been any shooting but said that the ships had made “physical contact”.

Despite the fact that there’s a big difference between “making contact” and “shots were fired”, I suspect I’d come down on the side of the Israelis on this one. Mainly, because I believe that if “shots were fired”, the boat would not have returned from whence it came, but would have received an all expense paid trip to Davy Jones’ Locker!

    Under what theory of International Law does Israel have the right to blockade Gaza in International waters?

    Saw this on MM’s site earlier. I really enjoyed the quote from Mr. Mckinney. Maybe he can help her do a “happy dance” later.

    Dino just thinks living in downtown ATL would be the least offensive place, because he could be a ground zero during the The Gay Parade. Downtown is great, if you don’t mind the rapes, murders and muggings. if you are ok with that, then it is a cool place to be.

    Cynthia McKinney’s excellent mid-east boating adventure.

    If the moonbats try again, I wounder if Cindy can swim after the IDF Navy sinks their Dignity.

    From the Almoron’s article

    Bush silence

    On Monday, the White House reiterated its demands that Hamas stop firing rockets into Israel and agree to a ceasefire.

    Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the White House, said in a statement on Monday that a ceasefire was “the objective to which all parties need to be working”, including the US.

    The US state department also said on Monday is was “vigorously engaged” in trying to restore the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, after a six-month truce between the two sides expired earlier this month.

    George Bush, the US president, is currently in Crawford, Texas where he is spending the New Year. His aides say he has been fully briefed on the latest events in Gaza.

    He has not made any comment on the crisis since the bombing of the Palestinian coastal territory began on Saturday.

    How is that Bush remaining silent? Maybe its getting lost in the translations but the dems sound a lot like Al Jezeera.

    Dino: You are so full of crap. ‘Nuff said.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Admit it, conservatives. You don’t care who’s fighting or who started what. You just enjoy the conflict. It’s a sickness you have. Your end of the ideological spectrum is why the US has been involved in some conflict in some country since its inception.

    If you can’t goad someone into being an enemy, you create one.

    And the fact that there’s a disproportionate amount of power being used by one side against the other is doubly exciting to your sick little minds. All of your conflict scenarios involve domination, submission and humiliation. It’s not the winning that’s even the main event. It’s the sickness dimension that you crave. This could be a conflict between any two countries and it wouldn’t draw your attention unless there was some extreme angle of mean-spiritedness. That’s why you live.

    You only wish it was US doing the bombing.

    Lioncourt,

    Under the Declaration of Paris, a blockade is legal under International Law if the blockading party makes it known that the area is under blockade and can enforce the blockade. You know, that same International Law you guy’s are alway’s clamoring should be followed. Further, if a ship is known to be heading for a blockaded port it may be captured. This is well settled under International Law. Finally, the crew and passengers of the “Dignity” knew about the blockade because they had a press conference announcing that they were going to run the blockade. So you tell me, who is wrong, the people following the vaunted International Law or the people that attempted to run the blockade?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Geezus. Can’t you think of your own signature statement? Using RBB’s. That’s cheeseball to the max.

    Greg,

    Lioncourt says he is a real hum-dinger of a lawyer, but from his incoherent gruntings put forth on SAB, I think Tom Cruise’s quote would be quite fitting with respect to him:

    Oh, I forgot. You were absent the day they taught law in law school.

    Luck for the Israelly Navy Buckwheat Cynthia didn’t throw her cell phone at them!

    Such a small country to be called a bully . and they have kept the civilian deaths down to a minimum so whats the big deal . most of the ones wounded or killed have been Hamas thugs . Not as big as one of our small states and they have the technology to wipe the Palestinians off the map, so they are using restraint and have even considered a cease fire to give the bully on the block a chance to rethink his suicidal tendency. All this time Hamas has been dropping bombs on the country and the UN or the international community has kept silent and has never said to Hamas to stop it . but let them retaliate and it is, you have to stop. Most of the fatalities in Israel have been innocent civilians , so where is the out rage over that?

  • http://ndgoon.blogspot.com/ goon

    Lastly, I am not sure how they expect Israel to respond? Hamas is firing rockets into their country and the UN wants them to hold off responding to the violence while their citizens are being killed. I am sick and tired of people making Israel out to be the bad guy in this problem.

  • di butler

    We the people of Georgia gladly turned over Cynthia McKinney to Cali.. Now if someone would like to take Sheila Jackson Lee…….? As for the “SS Dignity,” they have been warned before not to enter the waters there, and did so at their own peril. It was a stupid move, just for attention. I don’t see them trucking down to Darfur, oh wait, no tv cameras. I guess having a “Save Darfur” bumpersticker is kinda the same, right?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/entry/homosexuality_is_wrong_-_a_compendium move_zig

    Don’t look to the UN for any real assistance in stopping the conflict, and certainly addressing Israel’s need to strike back at the rocket launchers which have been attacking them.

    The UN and its predecessor have a long track record of being ineffectual at stopping aggression and even making matters worse for the victims.

    When Mussolini’s Fascist Italy (real Fascists for once) attacked Abyssinia in 1935.

    the League (of Nations) banned arms sales to either side (this hurt the tiny Abyssinian army much more than the Italians, who had tanks and bombers…)

    Later, the follow-on organization, the UN, allowed the genocidal slaughter in Rwanda, carried out in large part with machetes, knives and other non-firearms, to proceed unhindered after:

    Most of the 2,500 UN peacekeepers in Rwanda at the time were withdrawn after the deaths of 10 Belgian soldiers.

    A study of conflict in the 1900′s through to the present has proven that if a nation needs to protect itself, it should just go ahead and do it. The UN, with the possible exception of the Korean Conflict, seems to just gum up the works. The Oil-for-Food graft scandal never got much press in the Leftard MSM, which would have illustrated to the American taxpayer that the UN has outlived its usefulness.

    Thus, Israel should pay about as much heed to the UN in this incursion as Russia did when it attacked Georgia — nix!

    On a side note, the American Senator, Norm Coleman, is in the fight of his political life, against Al Franken.

    God help us all.

    The End Times are upon us.

    Remember kids, the first rule of blockade running is not to tell the blockading navy that you are coming!

    The second rule is that when the blockading navy tells you to heave too and prepare to be boarded you should do so.

    The third rule is that those preparing to run a blockade should be aware that the blockading navy can sink your ship if you enter the exclusion zone.

    Any questions?

    I did the Barackback Mountain parody back during the campaign. I told rbb that his picture of the Chicago machine politician in the phony cowboy hat made me think of it every time I see it.

    I also told him I’d keep it there until one of us got tired of it.

    cheeseball to the max.

    Eloquent as usual I see…

    That is why the LIberals keep losing election. It’s that type of thinking. Elitist snobs.

  • Rodeo

    I’m glad the US is NOT doing the bombing NOR are we pressuring Israel along with the Europeans for a UN supervised ceasefire…like we did a few years ago in the
    Hizbullah Lebanese conflict. What a tactical disaster that was.

    Smart people leave the south, di.

    Can you blame them? It’s like a third world country.

    There was another story that I didn’t link to, James Taranto over at Best of the Web Today. He touched on the ability of civilians to receive medical aid at Israeli hospitals. The “relief” on that ship was for Hamas fighters.
