&#039;Human rights groups say Israel is preying on the sick and vulnerable in Gaza to coerce them into spying.

Several fishermen tell Al Jazeera&#039;s Ayman Mohyeldin that they have been threatened with blackmail unless they agree to spy on Palestinian factions. &#039;</description>

		<description>David Halpin writes:
&quot;Why is it that little is heard of the piracy off the coast of the Zionist entity and the strip it dominates called Gaza?&quot;

The fact is that they have not told people the  truth behind the so called ‘piracy off the coast of Somalia’  because these acts of terror  are happening to implement  ‘New World Order’  in the Red Sea to benefit Israel and helps the US to establish ‘world government’ which is nothing but an IRON CAGE.   Therefore, lies such as “the Europeans dumping their toxics in the Red Sea and then there is competition to catch fish with the local fisherman” is not true.
The truth is that Israel since its erection - by help of western colonialism, imperialism and terrorism like in other places - United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries in different regions – felt that they have no choice but to exert changes in the region and expand their influence through other route than land to reach targeted places and their wealth in Africa and Asia.  Then, what goals the US and Israel  are trying to reach through a hoax, ‘piracy off  the coast  of Somalia’  in the Horn of Africa  where its strategic importance is known to everyone.
Israeli agenda for control of the Red Sea was laid out by the first prime minister of the Zionist entity, David Ben Gurion, who said in 1949: “We are besieged from land frontiers while Sea is the only passage to the outside world and the only mean for establishing communications with other continents.”  
Governments of both Yemen and Saudi Arabia have pointed their fingers toward Israel being involved in the piracy in the Red Sea. Beside the Zionist entity - eight Muslim states - Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, and Djibouti border the Red Sea.
Somalia is sitting on the most important maritime channels in the world. Through this passageway passes Arab oil going to reach European and American markets. The maritime channel has special strategic significance for Washington and Israel. For the former, it serves as the vital link between the US’s Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and its Fifth Fleet stationed off the coast of Bahrain and its Seventh Fleet in the Indian Ocean. Israel, knows the importance of Suez Canal at the time of war and its importance in making millions of dollars, over 15 million a day, to help Egypt economy, an Arab country. Israel has not forgotten that Egypt together with Yemen closed the Bab Al-Mandeb upon the outbreak of the 1973 October War, which came as an additional blow to Israeli and international shipping with the closure of the Suez Canal following the Israeli occupation of Sinai in 1967. Israel has been pressing for the INTERNATIONALIZATION of the Red Sea for decades where strike at Muslim sovereignty over Gulf of Aden, Bab Al-Mandeb and even Suez Canal.  There is no overstating what a military advantage this would bring to the Zionist state and what a threat this would pose to Muslim neighboring countries, especially to Somalia, Egypt, Yemen,  Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and Islamic Iran.

It is very strange that NO American ‘left’ or ‘progressive’ has exposed the nature of this ‘piracy’ which is designed in Washington to push for internationalization of the Red Sea to shape policies benefiting Israel and the US in the HORN OF AFRICA,  an important strategic location, with the help of  Zionist puppet  such as Susan Rice.

		<description>An excellent article which tells us about other Israeli atrocities, this time on the high seas rather than their usual land-based operations.

Here is corroboration (as if it was needed) of what the Israelis are doing to the fishermen of Gaza, their boats and their livelihoods in this long litany of evidence, both documentary and photographic, from Eva Bartlett.

&#039;The words of fishermen under fire&#039;

		<description>Oh come on!

Power projection is ALL that matters!  We get pissy when it makes headlines -- or those overly protected, pampered, precious little USans are in jeopardy.  No one else matters.

Why shouldn&#039;t the rest of the world screw Somali&#039;s around?  We got to ... until they had the balls to fight back.  So that the Chinese and Japanese raped their fishing industry was no worse than what we did.   So the Europeans (whose stock we are after all) dumped toxics in their waters?  We do the same damned thing to the powerless in the rest of the world?  Our trash barges dumped at sea for a long time ... ya gotta wonder where all that trash goes now?

Israeli piracy is done by the state ... we do the same ... we have laws that allow our side to do what it wants.  There is no equity.

So, while I think it is OK to point these things out to the stupid, ignorant, uninformed, the moral hubris is almost as sickening as the American Empires continuing hubris in the political realm.

Cynically Skeptical,
