On June 17, Ma'an News Agency headlined "Fatah: Israel plans to separate West Bank from Gaza," saying:
"Fatah said Israel aims at cutting off the Gaza Strip from the West Bank and 'end the Palestinian national project," according to party spokesman Ahmad Assaf. Whether or not Abbas goes along is unclear. What is clear is that he's no friend of beleaguered Palestinians.
Neither is Congress, several prominent members (including Charles Rangel, Anthony Weiner, Carolyn Maloney, Jerry Nadler, Eliot Engel, and Janis Shorenstein), asking the State Department to prohibit all Flotilla members from entering America, wanting them investigated for terrorist ties.
Media Matters' senior foreign policy fellow, MJ Rosenberg, cites Washington officials wanting Turkey kicked out of NATO, saying:
"The government, the (Israeli) lobby, the neocons, and their acolytes in the media, have decided that Turkey needs to be punished for its opposition to the Gaza blockade and its role in the flotilla 'fiasco.' "
"The word is going out. Turkey is no friend of Israel, no friend of Jews, and has become, yes, a Muslim state that cares about its fellow Muslims in Gaza," - again saying "Rep. Anthony Weiner takes the prize" for displaying extreme hostility, then adding:
"Anyone who questions just how far the lobby will go in defense of the Netanyahu government's policies has their answer."
