It has come to light that the video I previously posted from www.flix.co.il showing the discovery of weaponry hidden amid food supplies onboard the M/S Mavi Marnara “peace” flotilla boat is a hoax. Several Jew-haters and Israel-despisers were only too gleeful to write and vent their hatred of Israel (and me) for sharing the article and web address of the video. I guess their “ah-ha” moment somehow justifies in their mind their venomous hatred for Israel.
Not so fast…
As it turned out, this footage was actually depicting an event that occurred seven months ago on November 04, 2009 when the Israel Navy intercepted the “Francop” cargo ship. This particular vessel contained roughly 500 tons of weapons hidden amongst civilian cargo. The 36 weapons containers were a little ‘love-gift’ from peace-loving Iran, and meant for the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon.
It is to be expected that disinformation campaigns will occur during war that seek to distort facts and cast doubt on the reality of what is truly going on. It would be totally insane that anyone on the Israeli side would put forth a demonstratively false video showing a date stamp from last year, so my strong suspicion is that this is an effort by Israel’s enemies to plant a false report to discredit anyone seeking to defend Israel’s actions. However, like most things Jew-haters do, this too will blow up in their face.
No matter what else may be said, or what might be discovered onboard these “peace flotilla” boats, the facts are clear.
- Israel has been the target of a longstanding hate campaign for destruction by radical Islamists and anti-Semites since their founding.
- Anti-Semitism is an ancient evil, which is now enjoying resurgence in recent times because of virulent and well-coordinated anti-Israel/anti-Jewish propaganda.
- Israel’s enemies have a clearly-established pattern of sneaking weapons into the region. In recent months thousands of tons of weapons have been intercepted by Israel on their way into the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah murderers who are completely committed to slaughtering Jews and destroying Israel.
- Should Israel open Gaza harbor under mounting international pressure, can anyone say with a straight face that Israel’s enemies would not fully exploit this vulnerability and send dozens of ships carrying armaments and missiles for Hamas operatives?
All of this is well-documented, and the fair-minded person will have to admit it. However, not everyone is fair-minded, and Israel’s enemies in the UN (read: United NOTHING) will trample these facts underfoot as they always do. The requirements of Jew-hatred and anti-Israel propaganda cannot be bothered by inconvenient facts.
Hear the words of Israel’s Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, a voice of logic and reason in a world that seems to be going mad.
