The Bitter Flotilla

I am weary of the outrageous distortions being espoused by the Bitter Flotilla enablers on behalf of Hamas, the theocratic tyranny that rules Gaza. Hamas is a terrorist regime that oppresses women and promotes homophobia, not to mention the vile anti-Semitism in its very charter. Israel removed Jews from Gaza in 2005 for the sake of the "peace process" and since then, Israeli civilians have been bombarded by over 3,000 missiles that deliberately targeted them.

Yet every 2 weeks Israel still sends over 50,000 tons of food, oil and medicine to Gaza, and supplies drinking water and electricity. A waterpark opened in Gaza this month, newly opened malls and luxury hotels flourish and Egypt has foregone the same border checks as Israel, and will now allow free flow of goods to Gaza, including weaponry. Even the UN Secretary General, no friend of Israel, urged nations to discourage the flotillas and that "legitimate crossings and established channels" should be used for supply of any aid. Clearly, the "bitter flotilla" is not about aid.

Those who embark on the bitter flotilla of pirate ships must either be ignorant of current events and history, or harbour a very deep ethno-religious bias against the tiny, yet sole pluralistic democracy in the region.

For evil to flourish, it needs followers. Evil is flourishing on the seas of the Mediterranean.

Boycotting the boycotters

There is a strong anti-Semitic sentiment in parts of Scotland (hence george galloway’s emergence). West Dumbartonshire council have instituted a nazi-like boycott of Israeli products (we know who and what they really mean) for the crime of Israel not wanting its citizens to live under a continual barrage of missiles or alternatively, for not wanting to be wiped out entirely. Dundee council may soon follow this immoral and racist lead. West Dumbartonshite and Dundee have a long history of standing shoulder to shoulder with theocratic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic entities as they struggle to exterminate a pluralistic democracy. 

I have an extensive whisky collection of more than 80 different malt whiskies (not just 80+ bottles). Thus, I shall be instituting my own counter-boycott against these anti-Semites in the only way I know best.

There are 3 distillers in West Dumbartonshite:

Chivas Brothers                                media.relations@pernod-ricard.com

In bold, are those whiskies or alcohol already in my collection and which I shall not be replacing. As far as I can tell, these are the whiskies I will be boycotting in the future as a counter-protest against the sickening anti-Semites of West Dumbarton, Scotland:
