Humanitarian flotilla: Wolf in sheep’s clothing

What do you call a collection of Hamas-affiliated operatives, who are making every effort to hoodwink the world by pretending to be peaceful agents, with the aim of stopping the Gaza war?
If you’re as dishonest and deceptive as they are, you call them a Humanitarian Flotilla. This latest fleet of 50 boats, containing 1,000 participants, along with Swedish environmental activist, Greta Thunberg, sailing in the direction of Gaza, allegedly carrying humanitarian supplies, is expected to arrive this week.
Dubbed the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), their goal is to “break Israel’s siege on Gaza and deliver urgently needed humanitarian aid.”
Israel already blocked a previous attempt by “12 activists on board the sailboat Madleen back in June when they were intercepted by Israeli forces 185 km. west of Gaza.”
But the claim of “urgently needed humanitarian aid,” is nothing more than a pretext to gain access to the area, because multiple reports, along with eyewitness accounts on the ground, have determined that there is ample food and humanitarian supplies in Gaza.
What has been disclosed, however, is that these flotilla activists have ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, both groups, having met with them. Under those circumstances, why would Israel agree to permit these wolves in sheep’s clothing, to have access to Gaza in order to create a manipulated photo op as they further accuse Israel of committing a genocide?
Muhammad Nadir al-Nuri, one of the members of the flotilla steering committee, has allegedly provided funds for activities undertaken in Hamas-controlled areas. Yet another flotilla steering committee member, Saif Abukeshk has also met with Hamas senior officials and collaborated with an Algerian Muslim Brotherhood cleric, in the previously failed flotilla.
A report goes on to say that “he met with the Hamas international relations head in Algeria to discuss his work to break the Israeli naval blockade.” These two are not the only individuals, involved in this flotilla, who are connected to Hamas and other terrorists. They join others whose terror associations have been revealed, according to Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli who recently exposed these findings on X.
Of course, none of these terror ties have been forthcoming, since the disclosure of such information would have jeopardized their standing as a virtuous, non-partisan humanitarian effort, headed by peaceful activists who are merely trying to draw attention to the ongoing war in Gaza.
But if their goals are truly peaceful, why are they connected to murderous terrorists? Why are they meeting with senior officials and why are financial exchanges taking place in Gaza?
This information would confirm Chikli’s contention that “these individuals are not neutral humanitarian actors but rather those whose affiliations reveal a coordinated ideological and operational front that leverages humanitarian language to advance the goals of designated terrorist organizations.”
It begs the question as to how much of this information is known to Greta Thunberg. Is she merely being used as a convenient prop whose name recognition grants her the notoriety that the flotilla hopes to gain? Or, is she a willing participant in the terror industry, happy to be employed by murdering monsters?
Either way, she should know, now that it has come to light, that her name is associated with extreme Muslim terrorists who would not hesitate to invade her country of Sweden to strictly enforce Sharia law and deny the freedom under which she grew up.
Thunberg is aiding and abetting the enemies of Western culture, helping to facilitate their global intifada which they aspire to spread throughout the world. Those who cheer on this flotilla are, likewise, supporting the terror-affiliated network which is dedicated to putting an end to democracy and free societies.
It's sad to think that anyone would see this second flotilla as anything other than the efforts of evil and deceptive characters who are dedicated to furthering the goal of ensuring that every human being is under total subjection to radical Islam.
Those who stand on the side of the flotilla are rooting for the end of their own civilization, without knowing it, because how many would be content to change their lifestyles and habits to the primitive and dark way of life which denies rights to women and so many others?
Do they understand where this is all leading? Perhaps the better question is, “What is it about their own culture that is so loathsome to them that they are willing to destroy it in favor of one which offers no freedom?
The deliberate rejection of everything represented by Western culture, naively believing that radical Islam is a preferred alternative, can only be explained by a type of spiritual and moral breakdown which has taken hold of once sane individuals, turning them into blind followers of evil.
But they cannot hide under the excuse that all of this hasn’t been exposed. It has. They have access to the same reporting which is being disseminated, and now it is up to them to decide whether to continue their support of brutal terrorists.
Sadly, the allure of mass virtue-signaling may prevent them from abandoning the destruction which is on the way, but undetected by them. In their need to feel as if they are making an important contribution to stop a genocide, they are told is being perpetrated, they will have been duped, in the end, caught defending the wrong side of humanity.
That is what these terrorists are banking on – the ignorance of trusting do-gooders with no moral compass to guide them. Regrettably, any values which they may have gotten at home, have been undone by the indoctrination of institutions which were meant to provide them with truth but, instead, prepared them for partnering with anarchy.
Further enhanced by social media, and their peers who gravitated to the latest trends, they view Western society as unworthy and lacking compassion.
It was just last Thursday, when a Jordanian truck driver of humanitarian provisions opened fire, instantly killing two Israeli soldiers. Is there any doubt that these so-called humanitarian efforts are the proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing, from which no good will come?
