A flotilla of activist boats wanting to sail to Gaza in order to break the illegal and amoral Israeli blockade of Gaza remains blocked from doing so in a Greek port.And now, after almost two weeks of being held in limbo by the Greek authorities, this disparate group of about 300 brave activists are starting to disperse.
What else are they to do now that a European country has basically scuppered their chances of setting sail for Gaza?
What I find so obscene about all of this is how it is Greece, of all European countries, that is the one playing gatekeeper and watchdog to that most divisive and racist state of all, Israel.
Greece, for crying out loud!
This is the same Greece that is having its coffers pillaged by the likes of the IMF and ECB.
This is the same Greece that is on the verge of economic collapse, a victim of the sinister foibles of Eurozone politics and economics and the venality of their own leaders.
This is the same Greece who's population is sliding deeper and deeper into debt, recession and long-term poverty.
This is the same Greece who's populace has been striking and demonstrating and rioting in the streets of Athens and inspiring all those of us who want a better, saner economic future.
This is the same hijacked, demoralised, raped Greece.And what do the Greeks see fit to do? Capitulate to archetypal Israeli bullying and perverted European political pressures that leave a flotilla of peace activists stranded in one of their ports.
Yet another Western stooge for the apartheid state that is Israel.
All of this from...Greece.
Greece should be ashamed of itself.
Do you get my point?
