Laugh of the Day: Activists Boat Mission To Gaza Hits A Little Israeli-induced Snag

Hahahaha! I'm rolling on the floor and in tears from laughter here! You just have to read the entire article here at Breitbart to get the full effect of the hilarity as an activist group based out of the U.S. (where else?) was intent on navigating through the prohibited waters off of Gaza to deliver some "humanitarian" aid to the poor, poor palis but all of a sudden, all of their navigational and communication systems shut down and they are blaming Israel for ruining their party! Hahaha! Here's some of the funnier excerpts:

A group of pro-Palestinian activists ran into trouble Saturday as they tried to sail through Israel's blockade of Gaza, saying their boats' electronic communication systems were jammed and the vessels were struggling in rough Mediterranean waters.
The Free Gaza activist group accused Israel of sabotaging the mission.
"I can't think of any other reason or any other party with an interest," said Angela Godfrey-Goldstein, a spokeswoman in Israel.

In their statement, the activists said their communications systems had been "jammed and scrambled" and said they were "victims of electronic piracy."
"We are not experienced sailors. As a results, there is concern about the health and safety of the people on board," the statement said.

Around 30 Gaza residents who had loaded into boats later returned to shore, complaining of sea sickness. By midafternoon, just one boat remained in the water.

Can't you just see these palis loaded into little fishing boats going out to greet the triumphant activists only to limp back to shore while they are all hanging over the sides of their little boats heaving their guts out? Hahahahaha! (sorry but I can't breathe...laughing).

I'm sure the activists, if they actually had gotten through, would have faced a second disappointment when they reached Gaza's shore and a swarm of palis had descended onto their boats and showed their disappointment that the boats weren't loaded with small arms, rockets and RPG's.

Activists accuse Israel of sabotaging boat mission

OFF THE GAZA COAST (AP) - A group of pro-Palestinian activists ran into trouble Saturday as they tried to sail through Israel's blockade of Gaza, saying their boats' electronic communication systems were jammed and the vessels were struggling in rough Mediterranean waters.
The Free Gaza activist group accused Israel of sabotaging the mission.
"I can't think of any other reason or any other party with an interest," said Angela Godfrey-Goldstein, a spokeswoman in Israel.
A total of 46 members of the U.S.-based group were on the boats, hoping to reach the shores of Gaza on Saturday with a delivery of humanitarian goods for Palestinians. Despite the setback, Godfrey-Goldstein said the activists were intent on reaching Gaza. She said she was in touch with an activist on board by mobile phone.
Israel had warned the group against carrying out the mission, calling it an unacceptable provocation.
"We are following the development and if they are looking for a provocation, we will know how to avoid it," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Arye Mekel.
Another spokesman for the ministry, Aviv Shiron, said Friday that "all options are being considered" when asked whether Israel intended to use force to turn the boats away.
Israel's military declined comment.
In their statement, the activists said their communications systems had been "jammed and scrambled" and said they were "victims of electronic piracy."
"We are not experienced sailors. As a results, there is concern about the health and safety of the people on board," the statement said.
The boats, which were still in international waters, were carrying Greek flags, and the statement urged the Greek government to intervene. The Greek Foreign Ministry said it was not aware of the latest developments and had no immediate reaction.
The activists were able to communication through satellite telephones and e-mail that did not depend on the ship's communications system, Godfrey-Goldstein said.
Mekel said he did not know of any Israel attempt to jam the boats' communications.
In Gaza City's small fishing port, activists, reporters and a musical band from a local scout group loaded onto a dozen small boats heading off to greet the vessels. Some onlookers waved banners and Palestinian flags.
Around 30 Gaza residents who had loaded into boats later returned to shore, complaining of sea sickness. By midafternoon, just one boat remained in the water.
Hamas policemen controlled traffic in and out of the port. Youths leaped off high rocks into deep water nearby. Two large tents were set up for people to watch the scene.
"I brought the kids so if they (the activists) arrive, I can tell them welcome—and thank you for not forgetting us," said Jamila Hassan, a 42-year-old Gaza resident who brought along her 14-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter to the port.
