The Flotilla Farce
(Wall Street Journal Europe) Danny Ayalon - There are currently 100 armed conflicts and dozens of territorial disputes around the world. There have been millions of people killed and hundreds of millions live in abject poverty without access to basic staples. Yet hundreds of high-minded "humanitarian activists" are spending millions of dollars to reach Gaza and hand money to Hamas that will never reach the innocent civilians of Gaza. The latest flotilla is preparing to leave from Lebanon, while its organizers ignore the dire human rights situation of the Palestinians in Lebanon. This amply demonstrates that these flotillas have nothing to do with humanitarian concerns and everything to do with delegitimizing Israel. The writer is Israel's deputy minister of foreign affairs.
