Last year Barack Obama’s good friend Rashid Khalidi raised cash for a ship named “The Audacity of Hope” to smash through the Gaza Blockade. After months of fundraising the group finally raised enough cash and the Obama-inspired ship set out to joint this year’s Gaza-bound “Freedom Flotilla 2.”

The “Audacity of Hope” will join other Islamists and Leftists in the Gaza Flotilla II.

But the radicals won’t be alone…
The New York Times, CNN and CBS announced this week that they will join the Gaza Flotilla in July.
Commentary reported:

Journalists from a variety of news outlets – including the New York Times and full camera crews from CNN, CBS – will be covering the anti-Israel flotilla from aboard one of the ships, according to The Nation correspondent Joseph Dana (who will also report from the flotilla).

While it’s hard to blame reporters for seeking out a colorful story, they should realize by joining the activists on the boat they are actually making themselves a part of the story. They will be with the flotilla when it attempts to violate international law by trying to break Israel’s legally-established naval blockade. And they could potentially interfere with the Israeli military’s ability to do its job if IDF soldiers are forced to board the ships.

The one upside of this development is at least now flotilla activists will have a more difficult time attacking IDF soldiers with knives once the network news cameras are rolling.

Maybe they’ll all be on The Audacity of Hope ship?
That would be perfect.

    So does anyone care to posit a reason the Israeli thugs destroyed recordings of their attack? My guess would be that they knew that their actions were illegal, not like that has ever stopped them before (see USS Liberty incident). Zionists are little more than Eastern European white-supremacists who have backing from primitive blood-god cults in the US that are obsessed with their imaginary doomsday mythology. Hope this helps.

Look at islam, nazi boy. But I know, it’s all the Jews’ fault, right? Oh yeah, the evil Zionists. Funny, how come nutjobs like you never scream about the true evil out there? Islam. 1,400 years of islamic aggression in the name of allah and people like you are ALWAYS silent about it. 1,400 years of attempted world domination in the name of allah and you NEVER say anything.
