Jane's Defense (highly respected source) sez arms found on 'Gaza aid' ship.

[Ithaca-37]

First, there's this link:

Here's my favorite part lifted from this piece, a real oddity:  searchers found "a supply of weapons including knives, Molotov cocktails, detonators, wood and metal clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and sharp metal objects", according to the Israel Defence Force (IDF). "In addition gas masks were found, pointing to the prior intention of the ship's passengers to use violence against IDF soldiers who would then be forced to use riot dispersal methods."

Did anybody else catch that?  They're bringing in a cargo vessel, and they didn't bring along any guns?  It's long been said that the Muslims just use the 'Palestinians' as cannon-fodder, to weaken the Israelis in international circles.  Nobody cares if the Palestinians die, just so long as they keep fighting.

The Soviets did something just like this to the Poles in WWII.  The Soviets let the Poles and Nazis mutually exhaust themselves, and then the Soviets shoved both aside.  It makes me think that somebody in the middle-east has their eye on that portion of Israel;  they want the Palestinians to win, but they also want the Palestinians weak enough where this third party can come in and clean-up with little resistance.

But this kind of thinking requires more strategic intelligence than Muslims are capable of .....
