Iranian foreign ministry confirmed today that an Iranian ship carrying food supplies, building materials and toys are heading to Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel said today that it will prevent the Iranian vessel from reaching Gaza.
Israeli daily Yediot Ahranot reported today that the Israeli navy is preparing to deal with two ships expected to reach the region by the end of the current week, which are an Iranian ship, and another sent from Lebanese Hezbollah Party.

ReplyDeleteThis is a good move by Iran. If the aid ship is stopped, which appears to be the case, then potential for similar debacle exists. In the unlikely but possible event that the aid ship manages to get through the blockade, then it will set precedence and a huge blow to the continuation of the blockade. Either way, Iran has the upper hand.
ReplyDeleteModerators, recently this blog has been too soft on racist and bigoted commenting. Sentences like semitic blood-thirsty Jew and Arab "children of Abraham" savages kill each other do not promote this blog as a good and authoritative site to visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Anon 3:27 AM,
ReplyDeleteWe cannot agree more. It is so unfortunate that some commentators misuse the privilege of commenting on important issues facing Iran and the region and instead use language of hatred and racism and in the process show their true beliefs.
The comments you have referred to have been deleted, and we will try to do better job at monitoring those types of comments on this post.

Well this is a free discussion forum in a free society. Stating that jew and arabs are semites is a statement of fact and nothing racist about it. For the same reason stating Iranians as Aryans is a fact. I agree that mentioning a "blood-thirsty" is not wise. With regard to arabs and jews being children of Abraham, I guess both Koran and old testment state this. So I fail to see how that can be offensive or racist. With regard to savages kill each other, I would say excluding the word "savages" which is clearly inappropriate, for the past 60 years those people have been at each other so killing each other is probably not incorrect.
I have been reading the comments in this forum for a good while and I have not seen anyone using the word "savage". This is an adult forum and NOT a Sunday school so to speak. People are entitled to express their views in a responsible and in a passionate way. Sanitising and deleting comments ends up in one man's censorship that serves noone.
