“Match Generated Bearings And Shoot!”

Activists on ‘Rachel Corrie’ undeterred by Israeli action

The delayed Free Gaza Movement’s cargo ship Rachel Corrie yesterday assumed a holding position in the eastern Mediterranean, poised to make a fresh attempt to reach Israeli-blockaded Gaza. Organiser Greta Berlin said the ship was waiting for Challenger II , a small passenger boat which suffered failure of its steering gear while preparing for the passage. The two vessels, their crews and passengers are undeterred by the Israeli commando operation against the flotilla which cost the lives of nine passengers and climaxed in the detention of the other 679 on board.

The Rachel Corrie , which began its voyage in Ireland, was named after a young US woman killed by an Israeli bulldozer demolishing Palestinian homes in Gaza. Among those on board are Nobel Prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former UN assistant secretary general Denis Halliday.

Ms Berlin said the ships would be picking up other human rights activists and journalists before attempting the passage which Israel has vowed to stop.
“Israel can haul the Rachel Corrie into Ashdod as it did the other boats or show goodwill to the world by allowing her to proceed to Gaza,” she stated.

Gosh, wouldn’t hauling the ship into Ashdod instead of putting 3 torpedoes into the hull be a gesture of goodwill? Not according to this ding-dongs. Read the article if you must, but the slant gets worse from there, right down to invoking the Crusades-like “wading in seas of blood” bit. Major crap festival.

Meanwhile, over at Atlas Shrugs:

On the Good Ship, St. Pancake

U.N. Human Rights Council voting now on Flotilla resolution

...

How hungry the world is to aid and abet the murderous jihadists of Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

The latest warship in the trussed-up jihad convoy affectionately named the freedom flotilla ("Arbeit macht frei"), Rachel Corrie, named for the Jew-hating genius, is en route to terror statelet Gaza.

...

The MV Rachel Corrie—thought to be carrying 15 people including a Nobel Prize winner and a former senior United Nations official—is in the Mediterranean en route to Gaza, where it could arrive next Monday.

But the Irish government and activists want urgent assurances from Israel that it will be allowed to dock safely, as 682 people from 42 nations detained Monday in a bloody raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla were deported.

“I again repeat my urgent call to the Israeli government to allow safe passage of the Irish owned vessel, the MV Rachel Corrie, which is still sailing towards Gaza to deliver its consignment of humanitarian aid,” said Irish foreign minister Micheal Martin.

“It is imperative that there should be no further confrontation or bloodshed arising from what has been all along a purely humanitarian mission by those involved in the Gaza flotilla.

...

Islamofascists and their Neo-Nazi allies are reporting that the terror ship “Rachel Corrie” is on its way, and this time the repugnant President of Ireland has invoked Irish sovereignty over the vessel.  Now NATO is joining the IHH sheep chorus.  All they need do is read the Flotilla commentary on the Ayatoilet’s “Press TV” to understand that this incident in an act of aggression paid for by the terrorist government of Iran.  Eight large cargo ships CANNOT be paid for and operated from proceeds of bake sales, etc.  The Ayatoilets wanted an issue that would unite Muslim Brotherhood terrorists with their Hizbollah puppets.  And they got it.  Euro media barely even mention the IHH.  Media has settled on a fiction:  Israel v “human rights” activists.  That is BS.

What, did you actually entertain the thought that these idiots would learn from their mistakes? Oh hell to the no!


Dear IDF: if not torpedoes, then magnetic mines. Surely you guys own a submarine? Send out a few frogmen, attach about a dozen of the limpets to the bottom of the 225 foot ship, then swim away. Make sure you have lots of video rolling that shows your ships are miles and miles away, and that there isn’t a plane in the sky. Then when the St. Pancake crosses your blockade line, after many well-publicized attempts to contact the ship and tell them to turn back or face dire consequences, hit the button. Fa-boom. Straight to the bottom in under 2 minutes. See if you can get the Free Gaza folks to put Cynthia McKinney on board first, m’kay?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
