Listen. Carefully. Read my comment, and try to understand what I am saying. The VOA article, by clumsy and even negligent choice of words, has misrepresented the event on which they claim to be reporting. The “fly-in” is being organized by Gaza flotilla members who have been unable to leave Greece. The Gaza flotilla was organized to break a legal blockade of Gaza. Gaza is not occupied. Characterizing the “fly-in” protesters as “opposing the occupation of Palestinian territories” is ab initio incorrect. Worse, this misrepresentation is done with a choice of words which sail very hard to the wind of the “delegitimization” discourse favoured by anti-Semites around the world. The overall content of the article and your quotes are completely irrelevant to my point. They do not contradict my point. They are outside the four corners of my point.
