The Flotilla Song



Ed. Note: Unfortunately, YouTube pulled the Flotilla song off their website allegedly because of a copyright infringement. But, my hunch is other forces are at play here prompting YouTube to succumb to political pressure. However, the Jewish Task Force still has a version of the song that appears on You Tube which is seen above.

IDF Releases New Video of Mavi Marmara

Terrorists on board the Mavi Marmara

Below is a video of an Israeli Navy Seal describing the violence that he encountered when boarding the ship.

We now know that the so-called activists on board the ship were not peaceful humanitarian activists. But, they were in fact connected to Al Qaeda and were armed with weaponry to be delivered to Hamas in Gaza. Worldnetdaily reported that the passengers wanted to be martyrs and chanted Jihadist slogans.

Question and Answer of the Day

Question: If the NYPD or the LAPD or any police officer in America had his gun stolen by a criminal only to be fired upon by the gun that was once in the police officer's position, would that police officer hesitate to kill the criminal if he could in self-defense?

Answer: Of course he would  not hesitate and there would be no U.N. condemnation nor would there be any outcry from the European Union  nor would the President of the U.S. ask the police force to get their facts straight. There would be no discussion. The police officer would have the absolute right to defend himself  if he had his gun stolen or if he was beaten with metal rods or if he was thrown to the ground and assaulted.

Next Question: Why should the IDF be treated any differently when their soldiers are attacked by terrorists masked as humanitarian activists?

Answer:  Because Jews are not allowed to defend themselves in the eyes of the international community. Instead, Jewish police officers/soldiers  must permit the criminal/terrorist  to beat them to death with metal rods, thrown them overboard in the water, and steal their guns without a reprisal attack.

Israel Self Defense on the Mavi Marmara

In a de ja vu moment which is so typical for the Middle East, Israel has been provoked once again by Palestinian activists to use force to defend themselves in order to spur an international  public relations incident.

This is what usually occurs. The Palestinians resort to violence. When Israel responds to defend the lives of its soldiers and citizenry, Israel is blamed improperly and unfairly  by the international community for causing the violence that was precipitated the Palestinians themselves.

Israel is now under fire for boarding a ship called the Mavi Marmara carrying Palestinian activists heading for the Gaza strip and killing at least ten people on board. The U.N. plans on holding a special session to condemn Israel. Ambassadors have been recalled to their home countries. Neighboring Turkey has issued a strong rebuke of the Israeli government.

Prime-Minister Netanyahu has canceled his visit to the White House to return to Israel to deal with the latest diplomatic upheaval plaguing Israel.

Unfortunately, as is typically the case, the criticism of Israel is unwarranted and misplaced.

Israel repeatedly asked the ship to dock in Ashdod where Israel would inspect the ship to determine if there was any security risks. If there were none, Israel would allow the materials on board to be transferred to the Gaza trip.

The so-called activists on the ship flatly refused Israel's offer and instead intended to transgress the blockade set up by the IDF to prevent weapons smuggling into Gaza.

Israel was left no choice but to board the ship. After all, there was no way of knowing whether this ship was backed by Al Qaeda or other terrorist organizations. The highest level of scrutiny is absolutely necessary especially since the ship did not heed Israel's offer to dock in Ashdod.

When Israel boarded the ship, the activists  responded with violence beating the Israeli soldiers with sticks. One Israeli soldier was stabbed in the stomach. Some The activists even stole  IDF guns and opened fire on the soldiers.



Israel simply had no other alternative but to respond and defend themselves which is exactly what they did.

The ship had  no business being in a  restricted zone in the first place.  They are squarely to blame for not cooperating with the Israeli navy and they are wholly responsible for precipitating the violence on board which led to the ten deaths.

Yet, it does not matter that the activists are fully responsible for the incident.  The activists know that they can cause violence and get away with it because the international community will always blame Israel and turn a blind eye to Palestinian violence.

We definitely live in an upside down world.

Below you can see more footage of the ship commandos attacking Israeli soldiers on board.

IDF Comes Home From Haiti

After receiving more than 1,100 patients in Haiti, 319 surgeries, and 16 births, the IDF has returned to Israel. However, they did not leave Haiti without distributing 30 tons of medical supplies, 1,150 blankets, 30 large tents, 500 mattresses, 200 sleeping bags, and kitchen equipment.


And one more thing the IDF did before leaving Haiti.

They brought a five year old Haitian boy with a congenital defect to Israel. The boy flew with the IDF back to Israel and the boy will undergo life saving heart surgery in Israel.

Here you can see the Haitian boy landing at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

The world continues to ignore Israel's extraordinary relief efforts in Haiti. Without Israel and the IDF field hospital that many other delegations relied on including the U.S., many more Haitians would have died from infections and other injuries sustained during the earthquake.

Israel on the Scene in Haiti

Whenever there is a natural disaster in the world, Israel is always on the scene. With one of the largest international aid delegations on the ground in Haiti, Israel has set up the only makeshift hospital  in Haiti thus far to treat the victims.

In additon to the IDF rescue units, the Israeli organization ZAKA, known for responding to terrorist attacks in Israel within minutes of the attack, are also on the ground in Haiti.

Here are pictures and footage of ZAKA  and the IDF in action treating victims.


While ZAKA were involved in rescue operations,  a very moving story occurred. The ZAKA  crew had stopped rescuing temporarily  for Sabbath prayers. Donned with prayer shawls, the ZAKA crew prayed amidst corpses and  the stench of death and destruction. While they were praying, a group of Haitians gathered to watch these men pray. These Haitians thought that the ZAKA crew  were praying for a speedy recovery of the injured and in memory of the dead.  The locals were so moved by the ZAKA crew that they kissed their prayer shawls.

In all, ZAKA has rescued eight Haitians who were trapped in the wreckage.
