As I said earlier, Fake Bob Dylan singing "we're peaceful travelers, we're waving our own knives" is unforgettable.

I just posted this on the LNDT. Geez. I need to pedal faster.

Well, the next flotilla of blockade runners are on route to tempt fate with the Israeli blockade. Some reports claim that one of the ships (MV Corrie) was sabotaged and contact had been lost. Still, it looks like the next confrontation will happen tomorrow.

Hell, they should make a whole concert set out of this. Bribe Aid, anyone?

5 Obdicut  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:04:34am

Very dry.

I hope that the attempted kidnapping of the commandos gets more reportage, as well.

This isn't some love boat cruise we're talking about. It's about ending Israel's attempts to limit Hamas rearmament in their ongoing jihad against Israel's existence.

"Oh, they call it a kidnapping when we try to non-lethally restrain them, but they can shoot us and nobody cares?"

Attempted kidnapping doesn't make sense to me. They were on boat, and obviously wouldn't have been able to take them anywhere.

It's fishy, but I think calling it a "kidnapping" is a mistake at this point.

Conflicting reports.
Some say they have turned back to Ireland, are en route to stop in Cyprus, the 2 accompanying media boats were apparently breaking down (Israeli "sabotage" is suspected by Free Gaza), and the ship won't continue without the media boats.... We'll see what actually happens

How so? I'm over there reading the comments...

I don't know anything about True/Slant, are you getting tipped off if they try to somehow "report" you to the True/Slant people?

re: #10 Killgore Trout

I don't really know what can be done differently.

They have to identify the passengers, and identify them fast. Assess the situation and figure out if it's a bloodthirsty mob or not.

Aside from that... what can they do if the boat decides to run for Gaza?

13 captdiggs  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:11:16am

Simply brilliant. :)

14 albusteve  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:12:57am

15 Killgore Trout  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:14:12am

re: #12 Joo-LiZ

This time they'll clear the deck before boarding. Probably using stun grenades, tear gas or water hoses. Once on board they'll use deadly force immediately if attacked. That will keep the death toll much lower.

re: #10 Killgore Trout

From what I've read, the boat is not packed with Turkish jihadists. It's unlikely the euro leftists will greet the Israelis with weapons.
But, we shall see.

re: #9 Joo-LiZ

I think they wanted to create a hostage situation, at the least. That's what I mean by 'kidnapping'.

21 Tigger2005  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:16:53am

Why even bother to board? Box them in and force them to Ashdod. Build a holding pen for all the boats trying to break the blockade and let them sit there.

If Israel finds banned cargo on any ship they should remove all human beings and destroy the vessel: link it/sink it.

40 american_peanuts  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:30:56am

Oh my god, this is hilarious !
Maybe instead of Hssbara, serious debates, facualt information, and all that redundant information chewing, Israel should bombard the net with this type of rebuttels.
Sad, but seems like this is the actual plane on which this debate occurs.

.... And meanwhile, somewhere else in the galaxy:
"South Korea Asks Security Council Action in Ship Sinking" for an incident where a ship was actually attacked by an actual oppressor with actual missiles killing actual 42 people who weren't making any threat.

But who cares ????

MSNBC reporting (and CNN now showing) oil landing on Florida beaches.

msnbc:

GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE, Fla. - Oil sheen and tar balls washed ashore on a northwest Florida beach crowded with swimmers in what appeared to be the first impact on the state from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, authorities and witnesses said on Friday.

The oil debris came ashore on Pensacola Beach, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore which advertises "the world's whitest beaches."

At the same time, small gobs of reddish brown oil washed up in the surf for the first time in nearby Gulf Shores, Ala., and a petroleum smell tinged the air.

Maybe a song for BP is in order?
We oil the world,
We lube the beaches,
We fill the crevices between the rocks
with poison seepage...

People will be laughing for weeks, I tell you!

As with this song, the retro style would highlight the moth-eaten pseudo-nostalgia of many peace movement themes and cliches. The crass commercialism of the period would be an unwelcome but inevitable guest at any revival of 60s/70s peace culture.

Hey, Steve -- I just saw something that stopped me in my tracks.

(OT for the discussion, always on-topic for Featsters)

Little Feat is scheduled as one of the headliners at the Kate Wolf memorial festival in Laytonville, CA june 25-27. (A most interesting lineup.) Not Tackett/Barrere, but the Feat.

Does this mean Mr. Hayward's able to tour, or are they (blasphemy, I know) taking a different drummer?

56 Cheese Eating Victory Monkey  Fri, Jun 4, 2010 9:55:51am

This weekend's Israeli Yedioth Aharonoth newspaper reports that according to the captured videos, a few of the passengers (at least one Arab and a European) tried to defend the IDF soldiers against the Turkish attackers.

Richie is done for...liver disease, and he's waiting for a transplant...their drum tech took over for them, but obviously he's no Richie Hayward...and further the band fired Shaun Murphy last year....the band has been gutted, they just don't sound the same anymore, without her their repertoire is cut in half...dire news for the fans

Aghast. Appalled. Disgusted. I think I have been muttering these words repeatedly to myself over the past several days. And then this morning to read Yossi Sarid's letter in Haaretz. Has he taken a look at the results of his policies? And then looking at the leadership names of the Free Gaza Movement -- for I was curious to check out Mona Charen's claim that the Dohrn's participated in the creation of this movement -- has names like Adam Shapiro, the nebesh who holed up in Arafat's compound back in the day's when Arafat was a hero in the Palestinian movement ... though now days Arafat is denounced as corrupt and inept.

What's the world waiting for on the latest Gaza bound ship? Just one little sign of violence so as to write an anti-Israel news story.

Israel. I love you. Eicha?
