White House: Gaza flotilla activists may be breaking U.S. law

[toomuchtime_]

The Obama administration is stepping up pressure on activists planning to challenge Israel's sea blockade of the Gaza Strip, warning that they will face action from Israeli authorities and that American participants may also be violating U.S. law.

The U.S. State Department said Friday that attempts to break the blockade are "irresponsible and provocative" and that Israel has well-established means of delivering assistance to the Palestinian residents of Gaza. It noted that the territory is run by the militant Hamas group, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization, and that Americans providing support to it are subject to fines and jail.

This is actually getting funny. I believe there is an American ship in the flotilla that is dubbed The Audacity of Hope, and now Barry is going to arrest the passengers.

It is a people to people support. Hamas is not involved.

But then again Obama has to say what AIPAC tells him to say.

"Groups that seek to break Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza are taking irresponsible and provocative actions that risk the safety of their passengers," State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said in a statement,

It is against US law to send weapons to Israel. When are they going to enforce that?
