Assistance to Gaza from two different directions: Tehran and Medea Benjamin

I don't want to connect the dots, but the timing of these two failed attempts to lend a helping hand to Hamas is speaking for itself. You be the judge.

First of all, the IDF naval commandos from Shayetet 13 had a successful fishing trip in the Red Sea: an Iranian arms shipment headed for the Gaza Strip.


(The soldier whose feet got in the frame should be chastised by his sergeant anyway, re the deplorable state of his shoes, what with CNN watching like an eagle...)

And, on the other side of Gaza, in Egypt, the chicken-brained founder of Code Pink, one Medea Benjamin "had spent a day in a cold Egyptian jail pen" (according to her) and had her arm broken (according to her), both acts committed before she was sent away.


(As a totally unrelated remark: I would vastly prefer to handle these Syrian/Iranian missiles in any quantity than to deal with this raving lunatic, so my sincere sympathy to the Egyptian security folks who had that pleasure).

So there: we report, you decide...

Medea is not alone, the Irish hero Mairead Maguire joined the fun.

But you should have given some brownie points to Medea's handywork - she sent a lot of tweets using only one arm (hopefully only arm).

Jewish-Irish peace conspiracy, how awesome!

For a woman with a broken arm she is doing very well using both arms.

That was an old photo, from when she went nuclear during Obama's speech or whatever.

I really wish Egypt had kept her. Or, better yet, shipped her to Hamas and then refused to let her out.

Yeah, and have here near us? No, thanks, finders keepers.
