Now Hizbollah Is Sending Its Own Flotilla (Updated)

Hizbollah, which has murdered hundreds of Americans--attacking army barracks, embassies and airplanes--cares very, very deeply for the people of Gaza.

Here is the storyline:

An all-female ship, transporting medical supplies to Gaza is to leave Lebanon in the coming days, organizers said.

“We are all independent women who believe in breaking the [Israeli] siege on Gaza,” said Samar Hajj, who is coordinating the trip.

Hajj stressed that the activists were not affiliated with Hizbullah or any other political group. “This has nothing to do with Hizbullah even though it is an honor for us to be supporters of the Resistance,” she said.


So far 50 women have signed up for the trip on board the cargo ship “Mariam.” Among them 30 Lebanese and 20 foreigners. Other groups are also planning to send ships.

That's the storyline, here are the facts: Samar's ties to Hezbollah are strong and undeniable. According to Syriatruth (translated from Arabic)

According to party sources, amongst those hearing Nassralah call for action was Samir el Hajj, the wife of the former head of the Internal security forces, Major General Ali el Hajj who was along with three other officers for four years for the assassination of Lebanese prime minister Hariri. It was Samir who successfully launched a successful campaign that led to their release by the special international court last year.

These sources said, that Samir decided to organize an all female ship and quickly gained after hearing Nasrallah's call and immediately accepted her idea and put her in charge of the preparations. As she is a journalist with a reputation for being a fluent and tactful speaker, he also appointed her spokesperson.

And of course, if Hezbollah is calling for another flotilla, that means that Iran is pulling the strings.

UPDATE: Already on June 6, Syriatruth was reporting Narallah's plans for a 2nd flotilla:

Sources close to Hezbollah in Beirut for the "truth" that the latter was preparing to send dozens, perhaps more, of the "supporters" on board ships that are processed now in place is a European and Turkey under the name "fleet of Freedom 2." The Secretary General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah has called in his speech the day before yesterday by a host of erecting in the southern suburbs to the victims of Israeli aggression against the "fleet of freedom" and for the Lebanese, the five who participated in it, to send more fleets to the Gaza Strip. He also called for "more participation in Lebanon's diverse fleet of Freedom 2." In a sign of encouragement is no secret meaning to the Lebanese reluctant to participate for fear of capture or detention, Nasrallah said that the Lebanese participants waiting "They know very well that they belong to a country and to the people and the resistance can not leave prisoners in the prisons, and Israel also bear in mind the red flag (the Turkish flag ) are calculated account for the information of yellow, "in an indirect reference to Hezbollah
