Israel Blocks Iran's Relief Ship To Gaza


www.tehrantimes.com
TEHRAN -- The Zionist regimes’ navy blocked Iranian aid ship to the Gaza Strip, Iranian Red Crescent Society director Ahmad Moussavi announced here on Tuesday.

The cargo ship, loaded with 2,000 tons of humanitarian aid including foods and medicines, was intercepted at about 20 miles from Gaza’s shore, Moussavi said.

On Egypt’s interception of the Iranian air cargo, which sought to take 30 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza, he said, “The cargo was also stopped at El-Arish in Egypt...

Now we get the waited news about Iranian Aid ship...

Iran aid ship coordinated to reach Gaza
An Iranian ship carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians heads toward the Gaza Strip after obtaining required paperwork to dock.

www.presstv.ir...

What is happening in dark sea is unknown, everything can happen, and we dont know what orders has given to captain.

“We are conferring with the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) to find a way for the ship to dock at the port of Gaza,” Moussavi said, adding that in the case of not achieving the desired results “the cargo ship will be sent to Cairo”.

That ship will not pass to Gaza... Thats what we all thought... Maybe this was done only to get more attention to Irans aid efforts - but failed to succeed in general.

One more shot against Israeli pro-war propaganda, with Irans counter propaganda...

Definetly what we all waited. But how the blocking would be done, was very unknown... Lets wait more news, how they stop that ship? Its not a boat.

Have they fire against the boat? - Its all unclear in this moment.

Your disgust is new but this has been going on for decades my friend...not to mention how many sick, starving, and dying children need care in Africa and other poor nations...What about them?

Its not about Israel and Hamas right now, its about humanity. How far we've come only to be knocked down again by war. War yet again prevents us from moving forward. These children aren't dying in vein. Its affecting all of us now on a global level. These crimes will not go unpunished, justice will be served whether it be now or years to come. You cannot blame fingers at Israel and Hamas, just certain people within that have created this conflict. Thats racism to declare that without seeing the true fault here. We as a people will never evolve if we continue to destroy what we create. Israel is like Russia when they attacked Georgia...relentless, controlling, and irrefutably not giving up anytime soon. Want to blame someone, blame all of our leaders for sitting in their million dollar mansions not doing anything for the common good of the people. This is just the beginning my friend...Wait til you see of whats to come. 2009 will make 2008 seem like a tea cup ride.

I try to see your point, but you offer false information.


"Israel is like Russia when they attacked Georgia..."


No, they did not.

And we all can condemn Israeli acts with tens of violations against international laws made in this operation, there is nothing which justifies these crimes. They are waging war against UN resolution - only that is enough!

Enough is enough!

You may be right about it being a publicity stunt, but who the hell is Israel to deny another group of people "aid"?

They have no right, whether they are in war or not, them denying the civilians of gaza "aid" is blatant disregard for their well being.

Edited to make point that prior to this article I would have supported Israel's decision www.abovetopsecret.com... e=1#pid5630064

From a military standpoint it's perfectly acceptable to block the area off. In a well planned action it is important to control who gets in and out, kind of like a large cordon. You don't want high profile targets to leave and you don't want anyone coming in that is going to help the militants.

With a ship full of people bringing in aid (2,000 tons) it's a nightmare situation. Israel would have to search through all of the aid to make sure there are no weapons or anything else that could aid the Hama's militia. They would also need background checks on everyone on board the ship. You don't want some trained special ops teams going into Gaza under cover as aid workers. Also if the people on the ship were aid workers and Israel let them into Gaza then Israel would be responsible for their safety. If something was to happen to one of them it would get ugly.

So yes it does sound bad but everyone knew Israel was going to turn them around. If that is what happened.

Oh, cry me a river. They are at war right now. Why would Israel attack them and let one of their known enemies bring them cargo? That makes no sense at all.
