The O’Keefe Clown Show Continues

Ken O’Keefe, ex-Marine and head clown in the human shield circus that played in Iraq before the war, has been thrown in jail in Israel after trying to sneak into the Gaza Strip: P10K Founder Ken O’Keefe in Israeli Jail for Entering Gaza. (Hat tip: SoCalJustice.)

O’Keefe sports a big, ostentatious teardrop tattoo to let everyone know how much he cares. (Or maybe it’s a gang tattoo, indicating that he’s killed someone. As the blalas say in Hawaii, “Same difference.”)

Former US Marine and initiator of the Human Shield Action to Iraq, Ken O’Keefe, was jailed last night by Israeli authorities attempting to enter the Gaza Strip. He wished to discuss with the people and leaders of Gaza the P10K plan to bring 10,000 western citizens to act as international observers in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. P10K also calls for a cessation of offensive operations from the Israeli Government and the militant Palestinian Resistance, upon the arrival of the 10,000 strong P10K Force.

O’Keefe and P10K coordinator Ian Hodgson were detained by ten Israeli Soldiers at 2pm Thursday as they walked along the beach into Palestinian Gaza from an area of Jewish Settlements at the northern end of the Gaza Strip. Knowing that Israel would refuse entry through the usual checkpoints into Gaza, the pair nearly caught Israeli soldiers off guard with their unconventional approach along the coastline.

O’Keefe said: “I desperately wanted to discuss this idea with people in Gaza, and would not simply accept Israel’s refusal to admit me entry. P10K aims to save life on both sides of the conflict, and uphold international law by ending Israel’s illegal and immoral occupation, which is the root cause of Palestinian violence.”

“Israeli state terrorism is fueling the conflict; Israel must stop its assassinations, incursions, house demolitions and building of the wall, and fully withdraw its illegal settlements and military from the occupied territories until there can be any movement towards a peaceful resolution of this conflict. Palestinian human rights must be respected, most importantly the right to life, but also the right to travel, which I was denied today.”

Here’s what this addle-brained useful idiot is involved with now: Ex-US marine vows to send 10,000 observers to Palestinian territories.

JERUSALEM (AFP) - A former US marine said he hoped to garner support from 10,000 Westerners to act as international observers in the Palestinian territories and help bring peace with Israel.

The P10K Force will “expose the truth about the conflict and document human rights violation”, Ken O’Keefe, who led the “Human Shield” anti-war movement in Iraq during the US-led invasion, told a Jerusalem press conference.

“It will effect a ceasefire from the militant Palestinian resistance that uses violence and call for Israel to honor the truce in order to assure security for its citizens,” he said, adding he had contacts with hardliners, including the Islamic group Hamas.

The 10,000-strong movement, to be financed through donations and to be sent to the Palestinian territories in September, would “compel justice, not vengeance”, he said.

The observers will use non-violent means in working for the respect of international law, “thereby ending the unlawful (Israeli) occupation”, and bringing about peace, he said.
