A number of prominent loyal Israeli Arab citizens will be among those taking part in the Gaza flotilla, the very same self-proclaimed humanitarian effort that describe their soon-to-occur encounter with the Israel Navy “like confronting the Nazis”.

While right-wing activists Baruch Marzel and parliamentary aide Itamar Ben-Givir are placed under arrest in Jerusalem on Thursday for shouting “anti-Semite” at visiting White House bureau chief, Rahm Emanuel, Israeli MK (Balad) Hanin Zuabi is preparing to join her Hamas cohorts on the flotilla, accompanied by other prominent Israeli Arab citizens, Sheikh Rayed Salach, who head the Israel Islamic Movement Northern Branch, and Muhammad Zidan, who head the Arab Israeli Monitoring Committee.

Zuabi, who receives a state salary as a member of Knesset, told an Arab website that this is part of the struggle seeking to portray Israel and an “occupier” and a nation that keeps Gaza residents under an embargo.

Salach added that he and his colleagues are determined to break the embargo and enter Gaza.
