While reporters and pundits continue to condemn Israel's anti-terrorism
tactics earlier this week, most of the denizens of U.S. newsrooms are
turning a blind eye to President Barack Obama's connection to the sponsors
of the so-called "Gaza Aid Flotilla."

Israel’s Foreign Minister condemned calls for an international body to
investigate the Gaza flotilla raid by Israeli forces in which nine "peace
activists" were killed.



Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday an independent investigation
committee can be organized instead and can include international observers
for transparency. U.S. President Barack Obama proposed an independent
inquiry into the incident that triggered worldwide condemnation of Israel
especially by members of the elite news media.



The organizer of the blockade-busting action is a known radical group called
Free Gaza. The "Free Gaza" flotilla was far more than a collection of
innocent "peace activists" trying to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, as
they are being portrayed by most news organizations.

*Free Gaza's Terror Link*

Free Gaza sponsored the flotilla that engaged in deadly clashes with Israeli
special forces troops and among its members are Weather
Underground  founders William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn as well as Jodie
Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink.

Ayers and Dohrn were close associates for years in Chicago with President
Obama, while Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama’s
presidential campaign. In fact, one of Obama's fundraisers was held in the
home of Ayers and Dohrn.

"Ayers' and Dohrn's continued activities appear to elude the attention of
the people responsible for reporting the news without bias. They are
terrorists, plain and simple, so why would anyone be surprised to discover
their connection to an anti-Semitic organization that supports terror groups
such as Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda?" asks former New York Police
detective Michael Snopes.

The passengers reportedly included 100-plus members of various Muslim
Brotherhood chapters, at least 20 of whom taped al Qaeda-style "martyr"
videos before embarking, according to terrorist expert Steve Emerson,
founder of The Investigative Project on Terrorism

According to Emerson's IPT investigation, the chief organizers had more than
"peaceful" intentions for the flotilla.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that a
Gaza-based Hamas leader declared last Friday -- three days before the voyage
started -- that the head of the Turkish ship had told him: "We will not
allow the Zionists to come near us, and we will wage resistance against
them."

Meanwhile, Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) on Thursday responded to ongoing
criticism of Israel following this weekend’s incident near Gaza where
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) personnel engaged a flotilla of six ships
attempting to overrun an Israeli naval blockade.



Rep. Franks cites reports indicating that individuals on board the ships
were carrying weapons and attacked Israeli soldiers as they were trying to
stop the advance of the flotilla.  The blockade exists to keep the terrorist
organization Hamas, which has routinely launched attacks against innocent
Israeli citizens, from supplying its forces with weapons and other materials
while allowing necessary humanitarian supplies to reach those living in
Gaza.



"The conflict that took place aboard the Turkish flotilla was a completely
unnecessary and deliberate attempt to provoke Israel to action. The Gaza
blockade was put into place in an attempt to prevent Hamas from continuing
to use the Gaza strip as a launching pad for literally thousands and
thousands of rockets fired into innocent Israeli citizen populations.
Humanitarian shipments into Gaza are routinely used to smuggle weapons and
other dangerous materials into Gaza for Hamas," said Congressman Franks.



"The United States must maintain a strong position of support for Israel as
the U.N. once again tries to make them a punching bag for the rest of the
world. The Obama Administration must also commit to vetoing any resolution
from U.N. Organizations like the Security Council or the Human Rights
Council that would condemn Israel and encourage the terrorist groups who
provoked the raid," said the Arizona lawmaker.
