White House Now Declaring That Israel's Defensive Naval Blockade Is "Unsustainable"

Reuters reports tha the "White House said on Friday Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip was unsustainable and urged a Gaza aid vessel sent by pro-Palestinian activists to divert to an Israeli port to reduce the risk of violence."

"The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed. For now, we call on all parties to join us in encouraging responsible decisions by all sides to avoid any unnecessary confrontations," Mike Hammer, spokesman for the White House National Security Council said in a statement.

Once again the White House is siding with Israel's enemies and attempting to deny Israel the right of self defense. The purpose of the naval blockade on Gaza is to prevent weapons from being shipped to Hamas and to prevent Gaza from becoming an Iranian port on the Mediterranean. That the White House is now declaring this sensible blockade, a blockade being one of the most passive forms of military intervention against a hostile enemy, "unsustainable" is inexcusable. Israel's action is not only clearly sustainable, but justified and necessary. Tweet
