"Aid" flotilla had ties to global Jihad

The little flotilla of ships that were headed to Gaza had ties to terrorism. When Israeli soldiers tried to board the ship, they were attacked with pipes, knives, and other weapons. Now, after the knee-jerk reaction of so many on the left to condemn Israel, we're learning more about the people who purposely provoked Israel, as reported by Dana Lewis of FOX News:

It's known the flotilla of 6 ships was in part organized by the IHH group in Turkey, which reportedly has links to Al Qaeda. And three members of Yemen's Parliament, from the Islah Party, were also among the more than 600 activists detained by Israel after ships refused to stop for Israeli patrol boats and were boarded by Israeli Navy SEALs who eventually opened fire, killing 9 people. The Islah party is also said to have shadowy links to Al Qaeda. Both groups certainly support the Hamas organization in Gaza.
