Why is Codepink supporting Gaza flotilla?
Seven months ago today, Khaled Abu Toamah described the plight of women living in the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip:
Since Hamas seized full control over the Gaza Strip in 2007, Palestinian women have been deprived of many of basic rights, such as strolling along the beach alone or smoking in public. Under Hamas, female lawyers are not allowed to appear in court unless they are wearing the hijab.
They are also barred from going to male hairdressers. A woman who is seen in public with a man is often stopped by Hamas policemen and questioned about the nature of the relationship between them.
Women in the Gaza Strip who have dared to participate in public political and social events have been repeatedly harassed by the Hamas government. As a result, many of them have been forced to stay at home out of fear for their lives.
Yet, over on Codepink’s website, we find this:
Why is this women’s organization so concerned about how the nation in the Middle East which provides the fewest restrictions on women because of their gender treats a flotilla providing supplies to an enclave run by terrorists who treat women as third-class citizens?
Guess these folks are so opposed to “U.S. funded wars and occupations,” as they bill it, that the enemy of their enemy is their friend even if said “friend” restricts women from participating in civil society.

Ethno-centrism is part of the Democrat equivocation madness; therefore, the Code Pink ladies support Jihad. Mob rule.

Yet they are silent on Mr. Obama’s unauthorized bombing of Libya and Yemen and no longer protest about the war in Afghanistan. Typical partisan hypocrites.

CodePinko seems to routinely aid and comfort to the enemies of freedom.

Perhaps CodePink has many members who are closet masochists ans submissives. Perhaps the thought of women being abused under totalitarian regimes secretly turns them on as they think of what it would be like to be beaten and treated as a subhuman.
Because I don’t want to think that they’re really all so stupid that they fail to understand the true nature of those they wish to help/support.
