Since The #Flotilla2 Isn't About #Gaza--Why Do They Call It The Gaza Flotilla?

Odd that many of the people celebrating gay marriage in NY are today celebrating the #flotilla to strengthen the gay-executing Hamas.

#gaza flotilla - There's huge crisis in Syria why do you not help the Syrian's?

There is something odd about Gaza Flotilla II--by all appearances, the people behing the new Gaza Flotilla have no interest whatsoever in helping people in general, let alone the Gazans in particular.


And since the Gaza Flotilla is not about Gaza, any kind of good news about Gaza is irrelevant.

Even The New York Times recognizes a major improvement of the situation in Gaza:

Two luxury hotels are opening in Gaza this month. Thousands of new cars are plying the roads. A second shopping mall — with escalators imported from Israel — will open next month. Hundreds of homes and two dozen schools are about to go up. A Hamas-run farm where Jewish settlements once stood is producing enough fruit that Israeli imports are tapering off.

As pro-Palestinian activists prepare to set sail aboard a flotilla aimed at maintaining an international spotlight on Gaza and pressure on Israel, this isolated Palestinian coastal enclave is experiencing its first real period of economic growth since the siege they are protesting began in 2007.

“Things are better than a year ago,” said Jamal El-Khoudary, chairman of the board of the Islamic University, who has led Gaza’s Popular Committee Against the Siege. “The siege on goods is now 60 to 70 percent over.”

Ala al-Rafati, the economy minister for Hamas, the militant group that governs Gaza, said in an interview that nearly 1,000 factories are operating here, and he estimated unemployment at no more than 25 percent after a sharp drop in jobless levels in the first quarter of this year. “Yesterday alone, the Gaza municipality launched 12 projects for paving roads, digging wells and making gardens,” he said.

The article continues with a description of what is left undone in Gaza--and that is no small thing.
But that is all that matters to those:

• who don't care that Hamas has for years been firing rockets and mortars at civilian targets--including schools--for years.
  
  
• who cannot be bothered with the fact that the terrorist group Hamas that is behind the missiles was "democratically" elected by Gazans, so that those who proclaim that Hamas was democratically elected should remember the corollary: Hamas is acting on behalf of the Gazans who elected them, and bear responsibility for that fact.
  
  
• who do not recognize Israel's right to self-defense.
  
• who throw around the legal term "disproportionate force" for the emotional impact without knowing--or caring--what it actually means.
  
  
• who cry about "collateral damage" as if international law forbids military action in defense against an attack.

So we've reached the point where instead of bringing aid last year--much of which was outdated or unusable--the US contingent in the Flotilla boasts in its press release that

We will carry no goods of any kind for delivery in Gaza

So what is the big deal about Gaza?

It is the cause of the lazy "humanitarian activist" who knows:

• The fact it involves Israel guarantees media coverage--for them
• Israel will not shoot on sight or disappear them into a prison for life
• They can claim anything to embellish their cause and no one will challenge them--especially not the media

Is it any wonder these self-described "human activists" stay away from Syria and put aside the contradictions implicit in aiding a terrorist-lead country.
