So, What Else is New

Imagine a flotilla of "activists" sailing towards Miami with illegal immigrants aboard with the intention of allowing them to disembark in Florida.

I wonder what the reaction would be if the US Coast Guard asked the "activists" to turn back which they refused to do and kept sailing to the Port of Miami

And what would happen if the Coast Guard had no choice but to board the ship and were attacked by some of the "activists".....Would the world be focusing their attention on this incident. Would the United Nations Security Council be convening with the intention of censuring the US. Would our allies like Turkey be threatening to sever diplomatic relations. Would the responsibility of the US to safeguard its borders and protect its citizens be subject to world condemnation and scorn.

Israel made it clear to the flotilla "activists" that they were free to arrive at the Port Of Ashdod, where their cargo would be inspected and all humanitarian aid would then be transferred to Gaza through the normal channels that Israel uses regularly to transport humanitarian aid. It would obviously confiscate materials that it has banned.

The "activists" answer was given loudly and clearly.

Yes, I am sure there were many well intentioned and peace loving "crew" aboard the ships bound for Gaza, but there were also those whose sole intention was to create chaos and violence to bring attention to their cause.

Let us not forget-Given the opportunity, Hamas who rules Gaza illegally, would destroy Israel in a heartbeat...
