Netanyahu: Rachel Corrie ship Wont reach Gaza

Prime minister tells forum of top seven government ministers he has no intention of allowing any vessels to breach Gaza naval blockade, 'now or later'; referring to Rachel Corrie ship, en route to Israel, PM says: We'll direct it to Israeli port
IN A dramatic reversal of policy, senior Israeli ministers were last night expected to approve a proposal by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ease the naval blockade on Gaza.
******SKIP******
Under Mr Netanyahu’s proposal, international inspectors would examine boats destined for Gaza to ensure no weapons were on board.
The examination could take place either at Israel’s southern port of Ashdod or at an Egyptian port.
Due to technical problems which delayed its departure, the 1200-tonne Rachel Corrie was not with the six-ship flotilla which was attacked on Monday.
“If we are not boarded beforehand, we hope to be in Gaza by Saturday,” Mr Halliday said.
“We cannot accept an offer of an escort to another port which could jeopardise safe delivery of our cargo of construction and educational materials and medical supplies.
“We fear that any such escort could mean that our 550 tonnes of cement on board and our educational material would be confiscated by the Israelis, given that they do not define this as humanitarian goods – in breach of the UN definition of same,” he said.

Absolutely brilliant post.
I found this particularly distrubing:
What would you do to a man who pointed a loaded, fully automatic weapon at your kid?

Maybe if they stopped shooting rockets from Gaza and Gaza was not run by muslim fanatics then they would not have a sea blockade. Fatah seem to be doing fine in the west bank...
For Israel to turn Gaza into a prison and not let any aid in is a crime against humanity, there are innocent men, women and children in there. Yes, Hamas is just as much to blame as the Zionists, but there is no denying that Israel is using a disproportionate use of power here, Gaza has no air force, no navy, they have rockets which most of the time hit no one or nothing at all, compared to Israel beating the crap out of them and not letting any aid in, Israel has declared all out war on them, Israel is the big human picking on the little ants below, i'm thinking there are different motives behind this, maybe the extermination of Palestinians?

i agree with Israel on this one. They should not open the sea blockade since Hamas will use it to bring weapons.
So just let all the innocent women and children die? Is that your solution?
Palestinians wouldn't hate Israelis so much if it wasn't for the expansionist policies.
[edit on 6/3/2010 by Uniceft17]
Palestinians wouldn't hate Israelis so much if it wasn't for the expansionist policies.
In 1920 the world organization of nations [League of Nations] proclaimed that Palestine was to be a homeland for the Jews. Around the same time, Lebanon was made a place for Arab Christians, and Syria, and Iraq were to be homelands for Arab Moslems. In 1922 England [the occupying power in Palestine] gave all of Palestine east of the River Jordan [77% of Palestine] to Arab Moslems, forbidding Jews to live there.
In the Six-Day War, Israel captured Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem. But they didn't capture these territories from Yasser Arafat. They captured them from Jordan's King Hussein. I can't help but wonder why all these Palestinians suddenly discovered their national identity after Israel won the war.
The Irish aid ship, the Rachel Corrie is less than 100 miles from Gaza, but Israel's foreign minister has said it will not be allowed to dock there.

The Jews think so. Or perhaps only the EXTREMIST Jews? I had never heard of Jewish Extremism. I wonder why?

No hate what so ever. Merely saying it how i see it.
Is the Gaza people shooting rockets not justified?
Could you live happily ever after if a stronger nation bottled you up on a slither of land?
Restricted your movement in and out?
Bombed and shot at will anyone who 'they' believed to be a threat, even if you believed them to be a decent and honourable political figure?
Enjoy eating your nice food?, drinking fresh water?, living in a nice heated home?
How do you think Gaz'inians feel, scarce food, scarce water, power restrictions. Being unable to drive up the coast for a nice Sunday by the beach?
Think about it this, before you jump on your 'anti-Semite' bandwagon...
Because I have defended Israel at times, unfortunately this isn’t a time Israel deserves defending.
IF, this was you >>
