More Tension In The Middle East

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

Today Alert Net, a website of the Thomas Reuters Foundation, which says under its name "alerting humanitarians to emergencies," is reporting that Iran is sending ships to challenge the Israeli blockade of Gaza.  OK.  I have a few questions.  Based on the amount of food and other goods flowing into Gaza from Israel (this is not a blockade in the true sense of the word, the Israelis are simply asking to inspect the goods going into Gaza), where is the humanitarian emergency?  I have posted links to menus of four-star restaurants in Gaza, olympic size swimming pools for children and recent pictures of markets.  I have posted lists of goods and the amounts shipped to Gaza recently.  These pictures and amounts do not show a lack of goods.  If there is a lack of food and other resources in Gaza, I would tend to ask Hamas how it is distributing the goods shipped into Gaza. 

Why is Iran getting involved--to flex their muscles and to create unrest. 

The article reports:

"A senior Iranian official said earlier Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards were ready to provide a military escort to aid ships heading to Gaza if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei so commands. [ID:nLDE65509B]

"But the Guards' deputy head, Hossein Salami, said there were no plans to do so. "Such a thing is not on our agenda," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency on Monday."

While Iran is making sure the world is focused on the 'blockade' of Gaza by Israel, Iran will continue to develop its nuclear porgram.  I don't know if Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, I just think it is a shame that the current administration in America has not supported the green revolution that would have made any attack unnecessary.
