(L Rozen-Politico).Asked about the fairness of the raid at a Memorial Day premier of a Korean War documentary yesterday in Washington D.C., former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told POLITICO:
“There was a deliberate effort to create an unacceptable intrusion, which Turkey should’ve stopped. The Israelis have been very clear about sustaining a blockade of Gaza, and they have every right to sustain a blockade of Gaza. Hamas is actively every day trying to kill Israelis, and as a matter of international law, Turkey should not have allowed that flotilla to go down there.
The US, through the United Nations Relief organization, has been funding food and shelter for the people of Gaza for 60 years now. There was no humanitarian crisis; this was a deliberate political effort on the part of people who want to try to undermine the survival of Israel.”
