Falk slams Israel, says relief boat seizure ‘unlawful’
Press TV
Friday, July 3, 2009
Israel’s two-year blockade of the Gaza Strip is a continuing crime against humanity, and its seizure of a ship carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza was “unlawful”, says a UN human rights investigator.
Richard Falk, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said Thursday that the blockade restricted vital supplies such as food, medicine and fuel to “bare subsistence levels.”
His remarks came after Israeli authorities on Tuesday seized a ship carrying relief aid for the strip. The vessel was also carrying 21 pro-Palestinian international activists.

Irish Nobel peace prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney were among those aboard.
Tel Aviv said the ship would not be permitted to enter Gaza coastal waters because of security risks in the area and its existing naval blockade.
Falk, an American expert on international law, said the move was part of Israel’s “cruel blockade of the entire Palestinian population of Gaza” in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibiting any form of collective punishment against “an occupied people”.

USA…USA…er ! …Is Ra El …Is Ra El…!
Good for Israel capturing this terrorist boat. They saved many Israeli and Palestinian lives keeping these weapons out of the hands of radicals.
The same radicals that fire rockets from school yards and residential neighborhoods. Hiding behind women and kids ; while firing into women and kids.
As a bonus they can use the same boat to ship out, Cynthia McKinney’s, fat ‘racist;and crazy ass out of Israel.
Maybe it can drop her off at Darfur and talk the Muslims out of killing the Africans ?
Naw! There no money in that cause, and besides our girl Cynthia doesn’t want to rough it too much. A revolutionary needs a lease a four star hotel for a command center.

As a point of FACT mn, you are actually the one who is a brainwashed zombie.
Gaza gets 100s of trucks of aid pretty much daily through Israel. However NOTHING goes
through to Gaza from the Egyptian border! Since Hamas continually tries to kill Israelis and Hamas wants to destroy Israel and is Israel’s enemy… how about Israel has NOTHING more to do with Gaza/Hamas. Israel no longer supplies FREE electricity, and FREE gasoline, Israel no longer sends 100s of trucks of aid through a day, and no longer supplies water… How about Egypt does it instead!
If Mexicans were bombing you, trying to kill you, and wanted to destroy the U.S. would you want to HELP them at all?
Anyone who thinks Israel should be helping Hamas/Gaza at all is brain dead.

What are you insane? Or being sarcastic? It wasn’t a weapon boat it was medical supplies for a dying people. They aren’t rocketing anyone. Israel is a bunch of bullies genociding a people and Mckinney is no threat to anyone. Mckinney is black how can she possibly be a racist. If I was sandwiched between a wall and the sea I would try to fight back too. Unfortunately these people are helpless and Israel put them there after they stole their homes and land. USA funded it all. That is the real tragedy. Our government created the monster over there with our taxes. Just like they created the terrorist Al-Queada and are still to this day moving them around to do their bidding. I am sickened that our government is playing such a deadly game with innocent people. We move in and occupy and do nothing but destroy, overthrow, occupy and move on to the next poor country leaving a wake of destruction. Anyone remember Bosnia? and many many many examples of occupying and overthrowing governments. If people fight back they are the radicals? If China sends masses of troops to occupy our land are we to just give in and let them? Because that is the whole reason for this Gaza Strip. Those are the remaining people they pushed out while they truck in more and more Jews to live in stolen land with our money. A moron can see the injustice here. Dosen’t say much for you Sgt. Fury. I suppose it was fine for Americans to arrive in Iraq and kill women and children on a daily basis over a lie and a staged event. You are blinded by your governments lies. Wake up!

See the post above is an impostor.
( That why I wish Alex Jones would have us register our screen names to keep cowards from hiding.)
All you UFO / 911 nuts can come up with is, FOX and talk radio.
There no threats in this world only America, right.
Close your eyes and tap your ruby slippers three times. 1.2.3. And make the big bad FOX go away.
Israel was recognized and voted into the world of nations by the United nations.
She didn’t steal anyone’s land.
Some 2 million Arabs live within Israel boarders today.
Israel disappearing tomorrow would not change a thing in the Arab world. It was a mess before 1948.
Note: How many Arabs are slipping over the boarder to Syria ? None /Zero.
Not like the East Germans or Cubans people. You guys ever wonder about that ?
You might check with your paymasters with CNN.
Israel was attacked by the Arab nations. She defeated them.
She was attacked several more times and defeated them.
She returned the Sinai back to Egypt for a land for peace.
The Arab countries now use proxies to fight.
As for Gaza.
The Israeli Army evicted Israeli citizens from Gaza and turned over to the Palestinians. It was on TV, just in case you missed that news.
The Arabs then set fire to the Temples and greenhouses and rioted for a week.
Fact Gaza seems only to exist for propaganda. Otherwise why cram all those people into an area with no industry or natural resources.
Of course Keith Olbermann never told you to ask that question?
You kids need to broaden your world view. Not every problem boils down to Rush and Fox News. Cynthia and her daddy were well known racists and race baiters before she even made it out of Dekalb county. The county jail sits on her highway.

Sgt. are you going to deny being a fan of Fox and talk radio? go ahead and lie to us. Go ahead. And you are the racist, its obvious. So hung up and well versed in McKinneys fathers past. I can tell who you watch/listen to dummy. Israel is the aggressor almost every time, a tiny rocket from Lebanon does not warrant the slaughter of tons no matter how hard you try to spin it as “just defending herself”. You are an israeli first traitor piece of shit who blindly supports war criminals because you are so fucking ignorant. And dumb fuck Zionist WOlf and CNN are on your side, the criminal ISraeli first side, again, the fact taht you think CNN is anything but neocon/.zionazi propaganda shows who you listen to and shows why people throw Fox and Rush in your naive face.

Russian Gov’t is asking all commercial airliners to exercise “extreme caution” during flights “in and around” an area defined as Latitude 17 North [North Atlantic Ocean] Latitude 3 South [South Atlantic Ocean] to Latitude 8 North [Indian Ocean] Latitude 19 South [Indian Ocean] between the Longitudes of 46 West, 33 West, 46 East and 33 East, and which covers the greater part of the African Tectonic Plate.
The reason for this unprecedented warning, these reports state, are the rapid formations of “geomagnetic storms” emanating from the boundaries of the African Tectonic Plate that due to their intensity have caused the loss of two major passenger aircraft during the past month leaving nearly 300 men, women and children dead.
The first aircraft to be downed by this phenomenon was Air France passenger flight 447, and which these reports say that upon encountering one of these geomagnetic storms, on June 1st, near the western boundary of the African Tectonic Plate close to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha Islands, was “completely annihilated” causing the deaths of 216 passengers and 12 crew members as their plane plunged in pieces into the Atlantic Ocean(cont)

I have the utmost respect for Cynthia and what she stands for,; she has proven herself time and again. She has more BALLS than most men, focus on the cause, focus on the truth.

The following message has come from Captain Denis inside the prison cell in Israel where he is being held, along with 11 more of our passengers, including former Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Peace Laureate, Mairead Maguire.
“At least four of us went to a hearing yesterday, and we were told we were going to be deported. However, they did not tell us where we were going or when. The boat has been impounded and all of the charts stolen by the Israeli navy. The people at the prison told us we would get all of our stuff back today, but, so far, that has not been true.
It appears as though the Israeli government is drilling for natural gas in the buffer zone. That gas belongs to the people of Gaza. It seems to be one of their reasons for stopping us, perhaps they’re worried that we may go back and tell the world what we have seen.”
When asked if he thought the Free Gaza Movement would go again, his response was, “Of course. We’re going to get another boat, or more than one boat and we will head toward Gaza again.”
o look, Israel Drilling for Natural Gas in Gaza territory? No, it can’t be! Obama would not allow that would He?

OMG. That’s hilarious. I spent some time in Israel under going my ZOG training ,paid by Fox news. But I see that you all can tell that I am brain washed Zionist.
So I know Ms. McKinney must be enjoying those Arab toilets. Those are the W/C with a hole in the center. Just Squat and Sh*t you commie Queen and try to keep your balance.
Oh I hope that they have video of her waddling around a cell. Thank God for you-tube.
Yeah Jewish ass taste good especially when it attached to Natalie Portman.
But you can have Cynthia bootie all to your selves.

Well there is a motive I see to their madness. Our government should be demanding their release and return of the boat and all its contents to them to continue on or they are nothing more than cowards. A crook is a crook no matter what side they are on and they are crooks stealing that boat and who knows how many smaller unknown ones they have taken. Obviously our administration knows about the natural gas thing and they have their hands dirty and tied at the same time. Another embarrassing moment for the USA to try and sweep under the NWO rug.
