The "Free Kurdistan" Flotilla

Sorry for the extended absence, guys. School and Israel activism. You know how it is.

Suffice to say I think all the recent hoo-hah around the Gaza flotillas is utter excrement. It really and truly disturbs me that so many people can watch the video of what went down (assuming they've actually done so) and still fail to see the need for self-defense. Go out and get a new pair of prescription glasses or something. Use binoculars. Geez.

Anyways. The Kurdistan flotilla.

This is definitely something that won't be getting the press coverage it deserves. I guarantee it.

Looks like all the recent Gaza flotillas have inspired a Free Kurdistan movement to emulate them for the people in Kurdistan. I don't know much about the region or its history, except that it's under Turkish control, "occupation". Doubtless many parallels can be drawn between it and the conflict around Israel. Just another example of the double-standards the Jewish state is held to.

And yet I'm sure all the brazen flotilla-bandwagonists won't even give the poor Turkish-oppressed Kurds a second thought. You can forget about international attention.

Hey folks, that's just the kind of world we live in today.

Roxana Saberi Released From Iranian Prison

Roxana Saberi, the journalist and 1997 Miss North Dakota that Iran had jailed for bogus espionage charges, is now free.

Why Iran's government would act in the way of logic, I can only guess. Most likely to placate the US and buy some more time to develop its nuke.

Case in point, as the Wall Street Journal reports:

According to Mr. Khorramshahi, the judges explicitly stated in their verdict that Ms. Saberi could be released because "there was no animosity between Iran and the United States."

"No animosity". Who do they think they're fooling, with their clown of a president talking shit about the US everyday?

Either way, Ms. Saberi is free to leave Iran. Thank God for small miracles.
