Flotilla Participants.. their deaths just more tools in the Hamas tool-box

How Hamas does it's business:  Civilian casualties?  The Cost of Doing Business.

Is it my imagination, or does the recent death of provocateurs at the hands of Israeli soldiers seem to be getting more indignation from the world than did the completely unprovoked act of war by North Korea when it torpedoed a South Korean warship killing 46 South Koreans?

Why is it that when an obvious nut job like Kim Jong-Il, who, by the way, holds a nuclear bomb in his pocket, starts killing citizens of other countries in international waters, it is a diplomatic incident, but when Israeli soldiers seek to enforce a blockade to prevent weapons coming to terrorists in Gaza, they are murderers because they defended themselves against attack by those on board the ship?

Lost in all this nonsense is the fact that no one was hurt on any other ship in the flotilla.  If the whole point was for Israeli soldiers to just attack and kill the participants - why stop at a few on one ship?  Why not sink them all?

Something smells.

Meanwhile, a quick look through the media of late confirms my suspicions about the "taste" of our media and of so-called human rights types:


Desmond Tutu:

Regarding Israel: “We, as Elders, condemn Israel utterly for this attack. The actions of the Israelis are inexcusable.”

Regarding North Korea: (crickets chirping)



UN human rights chief,  Navi Pillay:

Regarding Israel:  Pillay condemned Israel's use of military force as "disproportionate." The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights joined calls for an "immediate and credible" inquiry into the interception and urged Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip. "We need to establish exactly what happened. However, nothing can justify the appalling outcome of this operation, which reportedly took place in international waters," Ms. Pillay said in a statement.

Regarding North Korea: (more crickets chirping)


Malcolm Smart - Director of Amnesty International:

Regarding Israel:  The Israeli action appears “out of all proportion to any threat posed” by the convoy, Amnesty International’s regional director Malcolm Smart said in an e-mailed statement.
 
Regarding North Korea: (yup.. **crickets**)
 

Kevin Neish - Canadian activist against all things capitalist, and participant in the flotilla of fools:

Regarding Israel: According to the Globe and Mail, in an interview last week, with a University of Victoria radio station, Mr. Neish said he and other activists were on the Greek island of Crete practising non-violent resistance techniques for an expected raid by Israeli soldiers.

Regarding North Korea: A Google search for "Kevin Neish" and "North Korea" came up, as expected, with:

Your search - "Kevin Neish" "North Korea" - did not match any documents.

(It is curious to note that Kevin Neish's father, Elgin Neish, was a big fan of the eastern bloc, being a Union Activist himself, he travelled to Moscow and China in 1952, coming back to Canada to extoll on the virtues of communism and the evils of the capitalist state.
 
Regarding pesky events like Stalinist purges and North Korean War Crimes, those were omitted, apparently, from his discussions - guess they were all "necessary evils" in seeking to afford power to the working class.)
 
As is becoming sadly predictable, "Human Rights Abuse" has become the largest weapon in the 21st century terrorist arsenal, and shills like Desmond Tutu just embolden them.
 
Once Kevin Neish finds himself back from Israel, I have a little test I would like him to try out - here's how it works:  

1.a) Go to Israel. b) Stand on a platform in a very public place, and hold over your head a placard with a caricature of Moses in clown makeup, with a caption saying, "Moses was a Clown"; c) Make notes on the public reaction.
 
2.a) Go to Gaza. b) Stand on a platform in a very public place, and hold over your head a placard with a caricature of Muhammad in clown makeup, with a caption saying, "Muhammad was a Clown"; c) Make notes on the public reaction.

After your body pieces are returned from Gaza, I think the point will be made as to where human rights are respected and where they are just convenient tools for Islamic extremists and their gullible advocates.
