Iran Threatens to Break Israel's Gaza Blockade
2009-01-05
If the ground offensive currently underway in Gaza becomes a full-fledged occupation with the resultant removal of Hamas from authority, then the arrival of the MV Iran Shahed in the Mediterranean will be something of an anti-climax. Too little, too late.

But while even a small stretch of beach remains under Palestinian control, there is the frightening possibility that Iranian Red Crescent volunteers might attempt a landing.

Come onnnn down.

I'm sure the INF* will be glad to give them the McKinney treatment.

Personally, I'd sink the assholes and chum the waters. But I'm not as nice as the Israelis.


*Is that what Israel calls their Navy?

#2  the MV Iran Shahed

Shahed means martyr, yes? An unfortunate name for a sea-going vessel in a warzone. I'm beginning to think the concept of irony is missing from the Muslim mind.
