Some people are obviously destined to repeat history rather than learn from it as Israel reiterates its intentions over a ship carrying aid and people seeking to make a point. Actually, I think the point will be made by Israel as it seeks to maintain its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
As I write this, the MV Rachel Corrie is heading towards Gaza and will soon be in a location close to that of the other ships Israel acted against earlier this week.
Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Leiberman is quoted as saying, "We will stop the ship, and also any other ship that will try to harm Israeli sovereignty." Ironic when a spokesperson for the UNHCR said that the only nation at risk here was Palestine!
Benjamin Netanyahu adds his voice, saying: "There is no chance the Rachel Corrie will reach the coast of Gaza." By so saying this he confirms the intention of his nation to continue to practise piracy and exhibit an illegal lack of proportionality as well as punish innocents. International crimes of many flavours here. How long can the US continue to support such stances and Christians claim these are God's people?
I believe Israel is in grave danger, from it's own flawed and illegal policies.
I also believe Christians are in danger of supporting a flawed and God-denying nation through a misplaced understanding of Israel thanks to some fallible and flawed Zionist claptrap.
How anyone can claim God's support for this amazes and saddens me in equal measure.
